An RSH-P project which was designed at a time when Berlin was beginning the process of reunification, the project was not built, but became a powerful landmark for the aspirations of the re-development of the Berlin during this momentous period for the city.

The building, at its highest presented an observation tower which at the time, would have pierced the Berlin Skyline. It was a lightweight steel supported structure which had clear articulation and again gave contrast to the cast concrete superstructure of the main body of the building.

Nested in the centre of the wings of the tower blocks is a 10 storey atrium structure which was proposed to be entirely hung from one single structural beam. The element provides a balance point for huge fabricated steel beams which are coupled to the beam like rockers on a giant cam shaft. The structure and resulting atrium created the buildings name ‘Zoo Window’ as a consequence of the fact that the site, formerly occupied by a 1950’s office block, looked directly at the entry to the Kurfurstendamn, Zoological garden.
