Inner-city residential areas
Springsiedlung housing estate, Berlin
Built between 1959 and 1962 and recently renovated, the Springsiedlung housing estate in Berlin-Kreuzberg is an example of the row housing style that was popular at the time, combined with spacious outdoor areas. The redesign cultivates this inner-city open space quality and at the same time contains reminiscences of the original characteristics. For example, typical contemporary design motifs such as geometries or the bright colors of the balconies were adapted for the furnishings and floor coverings.
