STUDIO5

On the site of the former television center of the GDR in Berlin Adlershof, the listed former television theater Berlin is being reused, converted and extended by an additional building that supports both the multifunctional event use as a divided development area and also acts as an independent office building in the media focus.
The supplementary extension communicates with the existing building in terms of volume and surface and, with its closed facade, forms a back to the old building that reflects the interplay of open and closed surfaces of the existing building and leaves sufficient space for the monument to take effect.
