The bluelicious 💎 called "Europe's smartest multi-tenant office - in a sculpture" by @3xnarchitects was something I had to capture! 🤳🏻 ℹ️ Cube berlin is the sculptural centerpiece of one of the most prominent squares in Berlin, completed in 2020, it completes a masterplan for the area drawn up by German architect OM Ungers in the mid-1990s. 🤓 Fun facts: - the cube measures 42.5 metres in all directions. - Its façade is faceted with a triangulated relief pattern to create outdoor balconies for the offices on every floor within the block. - The 10-storey office block contains a food market and lobby on the ground floor. - - It has nine floors of office space above and a roof terrace at the top of the building. 💎 "All sides of the building has its own distinct appearance. Though it looks extremely complex, the layered façade is, in fact, made up by only 12 different glass elements which are distributed in different combinations across the building and in both layers. The layering of the two facades creates reflections which offer a kaleidoscopic reading of the surroundings and creates the opportunity for generous platforms on the façade. These platforms are horizontally and vertically distributed around the building, such that the façade changes dynamically and all views of the building are unique. " ♻️ Although the building is entirely clad in glass, 3XN utilized a double-skin façade, cross ventilation, rooftop solar panels and an automated heating and ventilation system in a bid to prove that glazed buildings can be energy efficient. According to the studio, Berlin Cube is 25% more energy efficient than well-known green building standards require.
