Bärensteinstrasse
Sustainable Living in the Heart of Marzahn-Hellersdorf
Location & Context
Bärensteinstrasse is a forward-looking, high-quality development in the heart of Berlin’s Marzahn-Hellersdorf district. Positioned between the “Gärten der Welt” and the historic town centre, it sits on a sheltered 3,542 m² plot with a total gross floor area of 13,181 m². The location offers excellent transport connections and a growing, authentic urban neighborhood.
Inclusive Design for All Generations
The project is designed as a modern multi-generational residential complex with a strong emphasis on sustainability, accessibility, and social inclusion. Of the 182 residential units, 98% are barrier-free and 11% are fully adapted for wheelchair users. All shared spaces follow the same inclusive planning standards.
Architectural Efficiency & Sustainability
Bärensteinstrasse stands as a model of ecological and space-efficient architecture. Each unit is connected to its own stairwell, contributing to an overall efficiency rate of over 85%. The project has received DGNB Platinum pre-certification, highlighting its environmental performance.
Energy Systems & Innovation
The development integrates solar modules, heat pump systems, and energy-efficient heating and hot water infrastructure. As a result, energy consumption is reduced to just 28% of that of a standard building, with 60% of that energy self-generated through photovoltaic systems.
