About this spot
The Cube Berlin (proper spelling cube berlin) is a cube-shaped office building on Washingtonplatz in the immediate vicinity of Berlin's main railway station, which was inaugurated in February 2020. The building is part of the 40-hectare Europacity urban quarter and completes its southern part.
The eye-catching ten-storey building with a width, height and length of 42.5 metres each is characterised by an inwardly folded glass facade. The facade, designed with folds and creases over its entire surface, reflects the surroundings like a kaleidoscope. In addition to their individual appearance, the folds fulfil several practical functions: behind them, small terraces are hidden on each upper floor, but these are only available to the tenants. On the ground floor, gastronomic facilities will move in on around 1000 square metres and will form part of a public marketplace. The fully let area of the commercial building is 17,000 square metres, used by a law firm and Deutsche Bahn, among others.
The interior of the cube is equipped with modern technology, including a mobile app control to open the underground car park barrier, then to open the foyer. The same technology can also be used to find people in the building and the lift automatically stops on the floor where the user has their office. - A total of 3800 sensors are installed for intelligent control.
In addition, the energy generated when the sun shines is used to cool the fresh air supplied. Coated window panes reduce the heating of the interior. The architects 3XN Architects from Copenhagen and the client emphasise that the cube berlin is designed to be resource-conserving and energy-efficient.
