At Q207 on Friedrichstraße, a landmark in Berlin-Mitte originally designed by Ateliers Jean Nouvel in 1996, a comprehensive architectural redesign is currently underway. The multifunctional building, which in addition to residential and commercial spaces was also tailored to the former Galeries Lafayette, spans four basement levels and seven above-ground floors.

The renovation and redesign concept was developed by Ateliers Jean Nouvel themselves. The aim is to create clearer sightlines and new spatial structures that open up and simplify the floorplans to meet today’s standards of use and design. The transformation is being implemented with ambitious sustainability targets, including LEED Platinum certification and full compliance with EU Taxonomy requirements.

A newly designed entrance at the corner of Friedrichstraße and Französische Straße will serve as the future main access for the office spaces, giving the building a strong and attractive address. The former main entrance on Friedrichstraße will be preserved but modernized. New office areas, starting from the first upper floor, will provide modern and flexible working environments. The ground floor and parts of the first basement level are designated for retail and gastronomy, while a large bicycle parking facility will also be created in the first basement level. The residential units along Jägerstraße on floors one to five will remain in place. A newly added rooftop terrace will offer expansive views across Berlin.

The redesign follows principles of sustainable construction, while the interiors have been modernized to meet the current demands of office and retail spaces. The result is an attractive destination for businesses and retailers in the heart of Berlin.
