CSMM Wins 3rd Prize in the Behrens-Ufer Berlin Competition

We’re delighted to announce that our design, Memories of the Future, has been awarded 3rd prize in the Behrens-Ufer Berlin invitational competition! Congratulations to our team on this fantastic achievement!

Architectural Vision

Our design for the hotel at Behrens-Ufer introduces a striking architectural landmark in this emerging urban quarter. Its innovative design offers breathtaking 360° views of the neighborhood and the Spree River. The building’s distinctive form—with no defined front or back—and the sculptural elements of its base structure create a dynamic architectural presence. It establishes a dialogue with the iconic Behrens Tower while helping define the skyline of the new district.

Design and Functionality

The hotel is designed to seamlessly integrate public and private spaces. The ground floor features the entrance hall, lobby, a hotel bar, and retail areas. The second floor includes a gallery level with a signature restaurant and a spacious terrace overlooking the Spree. The tower’s hotel rooms are accessed via a central core, while special amenities such as fitness facilities, a library, and a rooftop restaurant elevate the guest experience. Green roofs and integrated photovoltaic panels add both aesthetic and functional value.
