Text description provided by the architects. VoltAir is a pulsating urban building block for new office spaces at Alexanderplatz in the heart of Berlin. With its distinctive stacked cubes, the design emerged from an invited architecture competition in 2014 with mixed-use clusters for brands, sports, and hospitality. After a change in ownership, the sculptural design was adapted and revised in response to a change in use. In collaboration with the property owner and in constructive coordination with the Design Advisory Board led by Regula Lüscher, the qualities of the design were preserved and strengthened. The arrangement of glass cubes allowed for a playful interaction with the Berlin skyline.
