Lynarstrasse

The Lynarstrasse housing project in Berlin, Germany, is a significant development in the city's residential landscape. Located on a previously unusable plot near the railway embankment, the project features a seven-story building constructed entirely of solid wood from the first floor. The building is divided into three blocks and includes 98 residential units and seven commercial spaces. The innovative project incorporates an experimental living concept, where entire floors are allocated to tenant groups, known as "Residential Clusters," which include private and communal areas. The project also includes a dementia flat and various community facilities. The housing cooperative "Am Ostseeplatz e.G." developed the project, which was recognized in the Deutscher Holzbaupreis German Timber Award 2019 and the Berliner Holzbaupreis Berlin Timber Construction Award 2019. The project's focus on community living and sustainable construction sets a new standard for urban housing in Berlin.
