CHARLIE LIVING
Berlin, Germany | 7200 m² | 2019
The spacious courtyard and terraced building typology designed by GRAFT Architects create opportunities for lush, green interior spaces that contrast with the stony urban surroundings of Berlin-Mitte. The inspiration for the courtyard’s winding paths and intensely green character comes from the wadi: a valley, gorge, or channel that remains dry except during the rainy season and is characterized by lush vegetation.
The winding paths, surfaced in polished asphalt, contrast with the surrounding green topography. They extend toward a small plaza that branches off and narrows, ultimately leading to a landscaped garden shaped by the terrain and featuring a children’s playground.
