DOXS NKLN
MIPIM Award Nominee 2025
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.
BRICKS Berlin
GRAFT revitalized the historical post office premises in Berlin Schöneberg, expanding it with two new buildings and converting the original rooftops for commercial purposes. A 32,000 m² modern ensemble accessible to the public was created comprising offices, restaurants, retail outlets and apartments. The project as won numerous international architecture awards.
Paris Luxury Offices
An existing office building has been transformed into a place that fosters creative exchange and efficient collaboration.
The client, who operates in the luxury goods sector, came with a clear vision for the project and a distinct identity based on tradition, history, and French aesthetic, as well as constant improvement, technical innovation, and creative audacity–which would be reflected in the collaboration and the final result.
The office complex belongs to the historical Haussmann buildings in Paris and consists of partly listed buildings and modern additions. The refurbishment focused on creating a healthy, sustainable, and intuitive work environment with maximum flexibility. While revealing the full potential of the existing building which houses over 800 desks across several departments, the new design pioneers in new ways of working and energy efficiency.
