Study Model Residence Dutch Ambassador Berlin
Study model for the residence of the Dutch ambassador in Berlin, in the leafy villa district of Grunewald. For this, CEPEZED did not want to classically realize a prominent residence surrounded by a subordinate garden design, but instead focused on the atmosphere of a built-up, open space in the forest. The design consists of a two-story oval volume with a largely frameless glass facade that both establishes direct visual connections between inside and outside and reflects its green surroundings, optically merging seamlessly into them. The roof is mostly sedum, which also contributes to unity with the environment.
Internally, the volume is divided into two sections for the ambassador's private quarters and public functions such as receptions, respectively. At the heads of the oval, both sections have their own entrance. In the more public section, a wooden runner through the garden landscape continues inside. Combined with the glass shell, this makes that reception hall have a strong spatial and visual relationship to the outside. In the private section, a smaller wooden runner also establishes a strong connection between the residence and the forest. Central to the street facade is the entrance for the staff, which is very unobtrusively detailed. On the first floor, the facade of the volume is partly strongly set back, so that a large roof terrace has been created here. Across the long axis of the oval, the building has a transparently roofed void containing facility turrets that are inserted as box-in-box elements. These also serve as reflectors for the daylight light entering the void. The project was not executed.
