Architecture Grüntuch Ernst Architekten

The historical red brick buildings that once determined the dark fates of its occupants have been sensitively transformed into a bright, hidden retreat.

Working in dialogue with the space’s former use as a prison, Grüntuch Ernst Architects have masterfully breathed new life into a structure long known to Berliners only by its decorative Augsburg Baroque facade facing Kantstrasse. Now exuberant secret gardens, a private roof deck, inspiring art, and more are bathed in light thanks to a spectacular five-story high atrium that’s been opened up and topped with a glass ceiling.

Interior design Grüntuch Ernst Architekten

No room is exactly alike, but all are defined by light colors, soft textures, and warm, high-quality materials.

From isolation to interaction: To create an inviting social environment and a sense of flow, the designers have enlarged windows, opened spaces, and added plant installations and warm fabrics. Throughout the hotel, original brick, glass, and steel harken back to the structure’s original purpose—including historical bars in the upper part of the windows.
