daniel libeskind has revealed plans for a new apartment building in central berlin. located in the chausseestrasse district of the city, the building features large angular windows, while metallic-coated ceramic walls form the building’s façade. the proposal establishes 73 individual apartment units on a relatively small corner plot, with retail outlets activating the edge of the site at street level. at the pinnacle of the design, a penthouse apartment features a double-height living space, while a terrace offers panoramic views across the city.

‘even as my studio is often called upon to design skyscrapers these days, I continue to love to build homes, the basic unit of human life’, explained libeskind.
