Living Levels
TAKING LIVING TO A NEW
Living Levels is a 14-story high-rise building designed by nps tchoban
voss in Berlin, Germany, a totally new dimension of life and living: it is
without compromise, confident and unique.
T
he area along the river Spree
has from the historical point
of view not much in common
with the open and classic
promenades one sees in Paris
or Rome.

Although in the heart of
Berlin, this shore area
belonged to the least desirable
parts of the city. In this, what used to be
mainly occupied commercial area filled
with storage rooms and management
properties, one of the darkest chapters of
history took place: The destruction of the
so called degenerate art during National
Socialism. Not until a few years ago did
this not accessible, neglected, during DDR
regime death strip area begin to turn into
a lively spot in town, not only for Berliners,
but also visitors from all over the world.
This multi-storey apartment building
became a part of recently immersed
extension along the river bank. Due to its
location on the bridgehead of the Second
World War destroyed Brommy-bridge,
the white solitaire is directly on the
water overlooking the Spree promenade.
