Chapman Taylor's studio in Düsseldorf has developed plans to transform the site of a former communications and electronics plant in Berlin-Köpenick into a vibrant new riverside residential neighbourhood, bringing much-needed housing to one of Germany's most attractive waterfront locations.
Design influenced by the setting
Design influenced by the setting
The riverside setting plays a central role in the design. Many apartments benefit from direct water views, while all homes feature generous balconies, often extending across the full width of the building. Many apartments include dual-aspect layouts, maximising natural light, ventilation and views across the River Dahme and its surrounding landscape.

The surrounding landscape has been designed to celebrate the area's rich natural setting. Lush planting, mature trees, grasses and perennial species create a green environment that supports biodiversity while providing opportunities for recreation, relaxation and nature observation. New shoreline areas will further enhance public access to the water and create an attractive destination for both residents and the wider Köpenick community.
A contemporary residential community that brings together architecture, landscape and waterfront living
