Kreuzberg Student Housing

2015
Gneisenaustraße 27, Berlin

We’re invested in co-living spaces and shared housing for travelers and students. We wanted to create a place where people could feel like they’re part of Berlin — not on an island of Americans but a place that’s connected to the spirit and culture of the city. We looked at 100 buildings and found one in Kreuzberg that we fell in love with. It had been a car radio factory, long out of production. We talked with the Council on International Educational Exchange, who needed a home for their program in Berlin, and they gave us a way to do it.
