House in a Park / Modersohn & Freiesleben Architekten Partnerschaft

On a park-like plot in Pankow, a northern district in Berlin, between listed turn-of-the-century villas, a sober and functional extension from the 1990s and large old trees that have accompanied the history of this historic site, there is an ideal location for another new dormitory run by SKF Berlin e.V. (transl.: Non-Profit Social Service of Catholic Women). Four storeys, crowned by a cantilevered roof whose wooden rafters remain visible on the outside, a solid green plastered base and a wooden superstructure will be the new home for up to 32 residents with mental and physical disabilities. Self-determined living, supervised and assisted if necessary, each resident has their own room and bathroom, and two of these units share a kitchen and living room with a private balcony. The additional need for special rooms is regulated in the German Participatory Living Act: Snoezel room, communal room with kitchen, care bathrooms, administration area and a wide range of ancillary rooms, all of which are distributed across the residential floors.
