MVRDV, in collaboration with many other firms, has redeveloped an old building into Haus 1 - Atelier Gardens in Berlin, Germany.

The Haus 1 project has transformed a tired office building into a bold, new entrance for Atelier Gardens in Berlin.

It is the latest milestone in the site's evolution from a historic film studio to an award-winning impact and media campus.

Once plain grey, the building is now a sunshine yellow, complete with a new living roof and a sustainable timber rooftop pavilion and terrace, accessible via a striking, zig-zagging external staircase.

Four floors of flexible workspace sit above the new ground-floor cafe, which also serves as the campus reception and informal co-working space.

This creates a central hub for visitors to the campus and its progressive community.

This project has been longlisted in the workplace project category of Dezeen Awards 2024.
