As part of the infrastructure strip within the emerging country town of Gatow, a shopping center is to be developed. Property is available at the western end of the strip where a sports hall, a daycare facility for children and a high school have already been established.
The location at the Ritterfelddamm benefits the regional usage of the shopping facility. One of the main access roads “Am Flugplatz Gatow” to the new residential area is situated here. Next to providing supplies, the newly constructed building functions also as an entrance marker.
Our building intends to carry on the cubist structures, to maintain the scale of the above-mentioned objects and to blend into the landscape.
