“The Garden”, is a modern residential complex in Berlin’s central Mite district, which is insulated from the noise of the city, with green courtyards that boast an almost village-like ambiance. The ensemble of buildings harks back to the concept of Berlin’s nineteenth-century courtyard gardens, hauling the idea forward into the new millennium.
The protruding balconies, spacious terraces, and unusual use of open space create a garden paradise that acts as a counter-balance to hectic city life. To ensure that residents of the flats facing the street can also enjoy their peace and a little more space to themselves, transparent balcony glazing has been incorporated into the design as a form of sound insulation.
The Solarlux Proline T balcony glazing insulates the flats from noise measuring up to 22 dB and provides them with extra outdoor living space. The all-glass elements in the flats in “The Garden” have been installed on glass balustrades, which match the building’s architecture and create a facade that runs down to the ground level. Despite their minimalist design, they offer a high level of functionality. The glazing can be opened partially or all the way to maintain that balcony feel.
