HOLZMARKT

Berlin, Germany


Holzmarkt is an ever-evolving, creative urban quarter on the banks of the River Spree in Berlin’s Kreuzberg-Friedrichshain district. The expansion of the central development area will add two further buildings to the “Village”: a guesthouse and a clubhouse. With Holzmarktstraße at its back, the Village forms a playful urban ensemble overlooking the Spree. Under the motto “The Spree Waterfront for Everyone,” the project aims to establish and activate seamless public access along the green riverbank and its adjacent open spaces. To establish the waterfront as a new place to be, the neighboring nature and recreation trail will be extended and enhanced with a combination of play areas and experimental play installations. This adds an exciting dimension to the area’s relaxed character while creating a new typology of urban park.
