Private studio in Berlin

David Chipperfield ArchitectsBerlin, Germany2015

The house on the lake was designed by the architect Robert Tepez in 1970 and originally served as winter storage for boats belonging to Berlin’s water rescue services. With its terraced volume, the two-storey reinforced concrete structure is integrated into the sloping topography of the site. David Chipperfield Architects was responsible for designing the conversion of the building into a private studio. The design not only gives the formally solid-looking boathouse a new transparent identity, the overall property gains the impression of a garden landscape, integrating the Wilhelminian villa at the top of the site’s hill and strengthening its appearance.
