架构师提供的文本描述。左边是柏林合奏剧院，右边是威登达默尔桥，前面是希夫鲍尔丹姆和斯普里河(Schiffbauerdamm)。在这片开阔的空地内，这座建筑-向东南向西北延伸，宽度约为55米，深度约为82米-占据了一个单独的、引人入胜的位置。它不仅是一个主要的位置，而且有一个有趣的历史。就在这片土地上，矗立着由汉斯·波尔齐格设计、马克斯·莱因哈特领导的“肖斯皮尔豪斯(大剧院)”，直到80年代后期，它才被拆除。

Text description provided by the architects. To the left stands the Berliner Ensemble theater, to the right the Weidendammer Bridge, and in front Schiffbauerdamm and the Spree River. Within this expansive, open space the building – stretching southeast – northwest and with a width of approximately fifty-five and depth of some eighty-two meters—occupies a solitary, arresting position. Not only is the property a prime location, but it also has an interesting history. On this very site stood the Grosses Schauspielhaus (great theater), designed by Hans Poelzig and headed by Max Reinhardt, which remained standing until the late eighties, when it was demolished.

由于该建筑有两个内部庭院的四翼双翼布局，以及地上十层楼中的前四层摇摇欲坠，这座建筑在形状和体积上与汉堡所谓的康托豪斯(Kontorh User)20世纪初的办公楼有一定的相似之处。然而，这些先驱者的坚实的，块状的外观是通过更接近通风，光，甚至水晶建筑的外观来改变的。被伯托特-布莱希特-普拉兹的树木所掩盖，建筑的正面是对称平衡的。换句话说，这一主要外观分为三个部分：一个较宽的中央部分和两个较窄的侧面部分。这些垂直的窗户，每个被三到六个印刷玻璃板分割成不同的区域，是用浅色铝制的水平框。

Due to the doubled four-wing layout of the structure with two internal courtyards and the staggering of the top four of ten floors above ground level, the building bears a certain similarity in shape and volume to Hamburg’s so-called Kontorhäuser, early twentieth-century office buildings. However, the solid, block-like appearance of these forerunners is altered through façades that are more akin to an airy, light, and even crystalline architecture. Somewhat hidden by the trees on Bertolt- Brecht-Platz, the front of the building is symmetrically balanced. In other words, this main façade is divided into three parts: a broader central section and two narrower side sections. The vertical windows, each divided into separate fields by three to six printed glass panels, are horizontally framed by a light-colored aluminum.

仅在大约33,000平方米的总建筑面积下，有八十七栋公寓，其内部由法国设计师菲利普·斯塔克领导的一支团队设计。拥有300间好房间的酒店占据了另一个楼层面积的三分之一。其余的空间留给办公室和商店。所有的公寓都位于大楼的安静的西北区，所有的办公室都位于安静的东南部。

Just under half of the approximately 33,000 square meters of gross floor area is dedicated to eighty-seven apartments, the interiors of which have been designed by a team led by French designer Philippe Starck. A hotel with a good 300 rooms occupies another third of the floor area. The rest of the space is reserved for offices and shops. All the apartments are situated in the quieter northwestern section of the building, and all of the offices in the less tranquil southeastern section.
