Amalienstraße

This refurbishment project in Munich’s Maxvorstadt district is a minor sensation. Not only because of its deliberately minimalist façade design with its discreetly arched balconies and deliberate symmetry. And not just because of the unusual barrel roof, which gives the upper floor more living space and makes a clear statement for more creativity in urban design. No, the real highlight is the name behind it: none other than star architect Stephan Braunfels is back in Munich with this design. The controversially discussed creator of the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich and the Paul Löbe House in Berlin was one of the most important urban planners in Germany at the turn of the century. We accompanied the project, which is based in many details on Haus Wittgenstein in Vienna, with a whole series of exterior and interior visualizations.
