Koolhaas-Haus am Checkpoint Charlie, Residential building near Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin, Germany
The seven-story building features glass facades, different window types, and a combination of residential units and commercial spaces at street level.
Construction occurred between 1987 and 1990 as part of the International Building Exhibition, with original spaces designated for border control and customs operations.
The building represents a modern approach to urban reconstruction in post-war Berlin, incorporating both residential and commercial functions in the city center.
The structure contains 31 apartments distributed across multiple floors, including maisonette and penthouse configurations for different resident needs.
Greek architect Ilias Zengelis collaborated with Matthias Sauerbruch to realize the final design after Rem Koolhaas declined further involvement.
