Berlin Mitte: a narrow and long building site between a 90m long tenement party wall and an abandoned site of a former military hospital. The new apartment block is also 90m long and has a width of 7m. A single row of columns supports the concrete slabs. All facades are completely glazed. The distance to the brick party wall is about 70 cm. Residents will be able to walk around naked and unseen in the heart of Berlin in a completely glazed house - all neighbours are strangely absent. * In collaboration with Sohrab Zafari
