Miniloft Kreuzberg

Apartment // Hotel Miniloft Kreuzberg

Participatory pioneer project: the façade of charred larch wood shimmers in black, while the 14 flats of the Miniloft Kreuzberg offer a feel-good place for travellers to Berlin.

The Miniloft Kreuzberg is located right in the centre of the vibrant metropolis, yet in a quiet area of the former flower market, right next to Besselpark. 14 differently sized, open and individually designed flats, which are not only part of striking architecture, but also of socially and sustainably orientated urban development: With the participative pioneer project Frizz23, the architect duo Britta Jürgens and Matthew Griffin of the Deadline office have realised Germany’s first building group for cultural-commercial use together with 38 like-minded creative companies. The Apartment Hotel Miniloft – a spin-off of the Miniloft in Berlin Mitte – also welcomes guests. Whether for a business trip, a getaway for two or as a retreat for a city break with the whole family.

The new complex, consisting of three separate structures with a shimmering black façade, already reflects the complex mixed use with its irregular window openings. The interior of the flats is bright, clear and cosily minimalist without missing anything. From the double beds to the open mini-kitchen and a dining or work table to the bathroom with its colourful tiles. Each flat is unique, but the design has unifying elements: Walls, ceilings and pillars made of exposed concrete, alternating with white plastered walls, furniture made of red-brown wood and black steel as well as colourful accents and selected art.

Berlin travellers can choose from different categories that can accommodate up to six people – from single and single+ to double and double+ to triple and multiple. Some with just one, two or three rooms, some with south or east-facing balconies, with large windows facing north towards the park, east towards the city square or south towards the sun. Some flats are wheelchair-accessible, others have a view over the rooftops of Berlin or exclusive options such as a wood-burning stove, two balconies and a panoramic window with a skyline in all directions.
The options here are as colourful as the entire building, which sets an example for collaborative urban design and has already been recognised with the German Urban Design Award, the Berlin Award and as a finalist for the Mies van der Rohe Award. The approach followed the motto ‘First the dialogue, then the design’ and offered the participants an ‘empty concrete shelf’ from which they could choose their ideal space. In addition to the mini-lofts, studios, offices, upcycling and bicycle workshops, seminar and project rooms, there is also a space for events and a gallery. On top is the roof terrace, which is open to all Miniloft guests and offers a fantastic view of Berlin.
