KUDAMM KAREE / BERLIN / GERMANY
Sometimes, the most prestigious, prominent sites need to be approached with the greatest sensitivity, care and attention before development can begin. Such is the case with Kudamm Karee, on the famous shopping boulevard – The Kurdurstendamm. A wonderful brief for an architect, David Chipperfield, but one for which it was essential first to win the wholehearted support of the city. Much of that work has now been done; the planned development will utterly transform the site, if not the city itself, with retail, office and entertainment featuring a new theatre, a defining example of much needed urban fabric renewal.
- Over 1,400,000 sq ft development
- 100,000 sq ft theatre, the first to be built in Berlin in recent times
- Over 400,000 sq ft of retail
- Architects: David Chipperfield Architects
