On the peninsula Stralau created a property that should appeal to many. The water, in nature - and in the middle of the city
Agnes Zuber is in their future home and watch the Spree. Drafty wind blowing through their own four walls open. The windows and interior walls are still missing, is not furnished the apartment anyway. At most, in the spirit. But to the last just about a year - so be ready. 2013, the 35-year-old graduate designer from Brunswick wants in a popular quarter of Germany and Berlin live - on the peninsula of Old Stralau.
Rest from a hectic day
The name for the object in which the resident of Berlin, a 73 square meter apartment is bought, well chosen: "Spree Gold" is the eleven-story building. This is intended to express: Where many seeking a relaxing weekend, should be able to live comfortably others. Like a green oasis located in the Berlin district of Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, the 130-acre peninsula Stralau. The water of the Spree River and the adjacent Rummelsburger lake you can take boat tours and indulges in the eyes of Berlin's hectic day rest. Parks and residential areas alternate with each other and offered here 100 years ago the Berlin public space for recreation: A attracts 5.5 km long, renatured riverside walks, for example, up to a village church from 1464. In the immediate neighborhood, there are schools and sports facilities and a small harbor. Not surprising since it is that the areas have recorded with the highest immigration rates in Berlin. As a small "water town", the area is traditionally popular anyway.
More than that, "In a quarter of an hour is one in the middle of the city on Alexanderplatz - and yet you live here and in the country," argues also Zuber. She even takes on the peninsula only: So far, she lives in a 60 square meter apartment is also on the peninsula, until they recently decided to purchase, for around 200,000 € for a property. In both objects, however, Zuber took a lot of imagination, because they bought or rented on both occasions the apartment before completion. "As a designer I studied industries are losing sight of how you could set up the apartment and have a good feeling for space development," she explains. So shall the new residence will be designed brightly - as a sort of loft, pass into the two rooms more or less together.
Such approaches show modern living: Much has been done on the peninsula Stralau in recent years, new residential areas are created, old houses in a new light. Innovation and modern life meet up with old buildings and history in Berlin - including the biggest house on the peninsula. The distinctive building "Gold Spree" Namely, given an extensive renovation. Back in 1983 the house had been built, among other things in it were used lipsticks and cosmetics manufactured, later it was the administration building. Now, the complex will also set up three new floors, so that it will eventually have eleven floors. At about 11,600 square meters created 114 flats with modern floor plans and melodious names like Venice, Madrid, Marseille, Glasgow and Amsterdam. The various residential and interior design concepts to meet various life situations, so families and singles alike provide space.
View over Berlin
The floor plans have sizes of 67-149 square meters. In addition, the sections of the apartments the spaciousness and elegance of the building reflect. Thus, in the homes as open kitchens, and each apartment has a balcony or terrace assigned. Great, except for the ground-reaching windows let light into the homes and allow partial views to the TV tower, to Treptow harbor and further down the river Spree to the dense green of the Plänterwalds.
"It is precisely this variety that makes living here unique," Zuber said during the tour, which eventually leads up to the roof of the house. In fact, one has a view from there over all Berlin - the TV tower looks close enough to touch. Just 300 meters from the lapping waters of the Spree. The Simon-Dach-district with its many cafes located on the other side also within walking distance.
"The focus of the redevelopment but are also the issues of energy efficiency and supply technology," says Peter Christians from the real estate company, Pantera, which marketed the building. This was the first building gutted to the steel skeleton is now completely renovated and is currently using the latest technological standards. In addition, special emphasis is placed on accessibility, so that elderly or disabled to live a carefree life in the "Gold Spree" will be possible. In addition, each apartment will have a underground parking and outdoor parking. Fast lifts take residents to the apartments, which offer classic clean design and luxury features, such as with high-quality sanitary facilities with floor-level showers, natural stone and real wood flooring elements. For generous feeling of space will help the later floor level 2.50 meters tall windows and high ceilings of up to 3.30 meters. Lobby, concierge, fitness room and sauna to complete the spatial range of services.
Living space is limited here
Planned and carried out the renovation of the building of the Berlin Streletzki group. Its managing director Julian Streletzki is the potential of the object convinced that ". This headland is the natural living space very limited, this fact alone will provide the basis for excellent stability and good prospects for further price increases."
Whether, however, will use buyer Agnes Zuber himself at all all the offers, which will provide the house one day, they do not have today. However: "It is nice to already have something," she says. And if it gets too hot outside, then they just simply jump into the river Spree, as it did in the city water for many before her.
