URBAN CELL
URBAN CELL is a concept for a new type of affordable residential quarter that responds to the challenges of the current property market by applying innovative technical, constructional, and–above all–social solutions.
The license concept, which incorporates a comprehensive planning package and access to exclusive construction partners with price guarantees, includes modular timber building units, decentralized energy provision as well as digital twins and a smart-city control system to facilitate community organization.
DOXS NKLN
DOXS NKLN will transform a former industrial recycling yard on the banks of a canal in Berlin into a “Haven of Culture,” benefitting future users and the local community alike.
Taking up motives from the shipping industry and the surrounding industrial architecture, the design draws on the special character of the site.
GRAFT's plans for developer Trockland include an urban ensemble of three new mixed-use buildings, attractive outdoor spaces, and a publicly accessible promenade along the canal.
