Usually, most of apartments and other multi-storey buildings are made of concrete. However, a team of architects from Kaden Klingbeil Architekten have took a challenge to built this apartment in Prenzlauer Berg – Berlin from timber.

The architect perfectly rendered the exterior facade so that it looks like the building were reinforced-concrete walls. The consideration was to make the building a bit more fire-proof since flame-retardant exterior surfaces would have obvious advantages. By taking a closer look, one will see that the rendered facade does in fact have a relationship to the structural system: Different textures in the rendering trace the timber frame and the infill.

In addition to its front facade and the courtyard facade, the building has a third facade. Separating the main structure from the stairway allowed more flexibility in the design of the floor plans: It was possible to eliminate interior load-bearing walls. Therefore, each of the clients could choose how to organize the floor plan – the only requisites were the two concrete shafts for installations. Via
