GSW-Building, Office building in Kreuzberg, Berlin, Germany
The GSW-Building features a double-facade system with colored solar screens in shades of pink, orange, and red that create changing visual patterns throughout the day.
Built between 1991 and 1999, the GSW-Building was the first tall structure constructed in Berlin after German reunification, connecting to an existing 1950s office tower.
The building stands near Checkpoint Charlie and reflects the transformation of Berlin's architectural landscape following the removal of the Berlin Wall.
The structure implements natural ventilation through an aerodynamic wind roof and western facade screens that occupants can adjust for optimal comfort and energy efficiency.
The entrance hall functions as a covered street, providing public space for events and exhibitions while connecting different sections of the building complex.
