Brockessches Haus, Heritage residential building in Potsdam, Germany
The Brockessches Haus stands three floors tall with a height of 15 meters, featuring pilasters and string courses that articulate the sandstone-decorated facades.
Built in 1776 by architect Carl von Gontard for glassmaker Johann Christoph Brockes, the building received financial support from Frederick II of Prussia.
The baroque facade incorporates decorative elements including putti figures holding glass-making symbols, reflecting the original owner's profession through architectural details.
Following extensive renovations between 2013 and 2015, the building now contains 18 residential units, with the largest apartment measuring 324 square meters.
The foundation required 329 reinforced concrete piles driven 40 meters deep into wet ground to ensure structural stability during its modern renovation.
