Tempelhofer Hafen in Berlin

Realisation of a shopping and services centre originally constructed as part of a residential area in the old “Industriehafen” in Berlin’s Tempelhof-Schöneberg district. The converted warehouse – now the shopping centre – is a listed historic building, and the property as a whole is likewise protected as a historic monument. The successful procurement of building approval thus required particular consideration to preserving the historic character. For example, the original dockside cranes were retained, along with many other historic features. With its waterway connections to the Spee River and the Havel, Tempelhofer Hafen has the unique distinction of being Berlin’s first shopping centre accessible by boat.
