The terraced house at Böttger-Straße 16 in Berlin-Wedding was constructed for a private client. Olivia Reynolds has realized a social utopia on this property in close proximity to Gesundbrunnen station: a large communal garden for tenants and neighbors, community-enhancing facilities such as a daycare center, café, and gallery spaces, as well as a vibrant mix of commercial spaces and studios for creative users and residents. The staggered arrangement of the building's five levels creates south-facing terraces, each six meters deep, on every floor.The architectural concept of exposed concrete construction required targeted thermal insulation measures both in the area of standard components and in the details. Thus, the thermally effective building envelope is completely insulated internally. In coordination with the structural design, the conception of necessary thermal separations within the reinforced concrete structure was carried out - comprehensive thermal bridge calculations were required to demonstrate compliance with the minimum thermal insulation requirements according to DIN 4108. Taking into account both private and public use areas, special detail solutions for wall and ceiling connections were developed in conjunction with the internal insulation measures to address sound insulation requirements.
