Concept

In 2021 and 2022, we systematically investigated previously untapped densification potential within Berlin’s urban fabric. Our focus was on identifying how existing structures could be meaningfully complemented or further developed through a range of strategies — including Fill-In, Add-On, Top-Up, Extend, and Rebase.

The findings of this study have been illustrated in our Grundstücksatlas (Land Use Atlas), which serves as a foundation for sustainable and future-oriented urban development.

With our in-depth knowledge of Berlin’s urban landscape and beyond, we also advise developers in their targeted search for suitable sites.
