On the north side of the Spree river - also being dubbed the ‘Mediaspree’ district- a new building is taking shape – actually from the outside is nearly finished.
First impression is very positive from the backside, the river side – a very modern, spectacular protruding out-jutting top middle section [see foto] between two rather conservative red brick sides -well-blending forms which do not clash but add to the other older buildings either side of it.
All in all a very aesthetically pleasing addition to this somewhat negelegeted city area.
The architect is Sergei Tchoban who graduated in architecture from the Russian Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg in 1986. After a few years of work experience in Russia he joined nps Architekten BDA Hamburg in 1992. In 1995 Sergei Tchoban became a partner in the office nps partner Architekten BDA. In 2003 the practice was renamed nps tchoban voss GbR Architekten BDA.
The following year 2004 Sergei Tchoban established the architectural office tchoban & partners in Moscow, Russia.

It lies almost directly across the river from the Badeschiff and close to ‘MOLECULE MAN’ statue.
