MÜGELSEE REHABILITATION CENTER, BERLIN

The project is planned on the southern shore of Müggelspree river. The design is based on the gradation between public and private functions in a way, in which temporary visitors and outpatients can use according facilities close enough to the entrance and the forest vehicle road, while the inpatients can enjoy their privacy on the shore of the river.

The building orientation is intended to create similar rights in terms of the daylight by avoiding purely northern or southern facades. The project’s facade is designed to be maximum transparent where it is possible. Its rhythm changes from the southern to the northern sides according to the building orientation. Despite the low height of the designed rehabilitation center, the various space qualities were provided by the constant sequence of open, close and double spaces.
