3 Hoefe Office And Residential Building

3 Hoefe (Three Courtyards) is a lively, independent quarter entirely in keeping with the courtyard architecture typical of mid-19th century Berlin, which was shaped by the Prussian urban planner and subsequently Berlin city planning officer James Hobrecht.

The office section has six full stories and one setback story and comprises over 18,000 sqm of office space. The residential area, with 223 residential units, has seven full stories and one set-back story in the longitudinal blocks, and six full stories and one set-back story in the transverse and central blocks.

The office building has four stairwells, each with two lifts. There are shared lobbies on the ground floor, each serving two staircases; these are accessible from the first courtyard.

The flexible apartment types include studios, apartments, maisonettes, and penthouses, offering great scope for individual design.

The set-back floors create generous roof terraces which are connected to the penthouse apartments. The other roof areas are also extensively greened.

Socle areas are made of clinker brick slips; from the second floor upwards, the finishing material is plaster (exterior insulation and finish system (EIFS)).

An underground car park with approximately 115 parking spaces underpins both parts of the building. The basement also houses storage rooms, a bicycle cellar, and technical equipment.
