A new chapter for CENTRUM WARENHAUS: In 2016, JASPER ARCHITECTS won the competition for the transformation of East Berlin’s iconic department store into a modern place for work and retail. "UP!" reveals the building’s past pointing to its future with a new volumetric appearance, a new transparent building envelope, and two additional floors. The architects reimagined this landmark's urban presence through dramatic, terraced cutouts that bring natural lighting into the interior. Old structural elements regained visibility, well integrated into a modern office space designed for the digital era.
