The Tchoban Voss Architekten team has developed the renovation of the former Berlin tax office Wilmersdorf, built in 1971. It covers about three-quarters of the block Blissestrasse 5 / Berliner Strasse 132 / Uhlandstrasse 97 / Wilhelmsaue 26-27.
The aim was to give it a contemporary and sustainable approach as well as a commitment to the existing architecture of the 1970s. The requirements for barrier-free use of the building were also taken into account.

At Tchoban Voss Architekten they bet on the modernization of the building's services and set out to close the underground car park with the installation of a partially lowered floor slab.
The new façade is of the curtain type and has rear ventilation with a white aluminum sheet and large-format powder coating, which makes it highly resistant to the elements. While the facade of the car park was covered with aluminum slats and with a color similar to that of the main facade.

Description of project by Tchoban Voss Architekten
The former Berlin-Wilmersdorf tax office, which was built in 1971, covers around three quarters of the block Blissestrasse 5 / Berliner Strasse 132 / Uhlandstrasse 97 / Wilhelmsaue 26-27. The ground floor is almost completely superstructed by buildings and mainly used for retail and parking purposes. The rising storeys are divided into four separated but connected buildings, which are set back to different distances from the edge of the block.
The project is an example of a contemporary, sustainable approach and a conscious engagement with the existing architecture from the 1970s that characterises the city in this district.
In the course of the far-reaching refurbishment measures of the nine-storey office building complex, the office floors of initially two of the four high-rise buildings were converted and equipped with a pressure-ventilated staircase as well as a fire brigade lift. The building services were modernised and the underground car park was sealed off by the installation of a new, partially lowered floor slab.
The new, rear-ventilated, curtain-type façade consists of large-format, highly weather-resistant powdercoated white aluminium sheet cassettes. These are structured by widely projecting reveal boxes of the windows, individually manufactured from extruded aluminium profiles. The new, thermally separated and highly heat-insulating aluminium turn-tilt windows optimally meet the current requirements for thermal and sound insulation. The single-storey façade of the multi-storey car park facing Wilhelmsaue was clad with aluminium louvres and given a colour scheme similar to the main façade. A roof terrace of approx. 145 m² was built on the roof of component 3.
The complex also received an appropriate, representative entrance. The lobby and the lift lobbies from the 1st to the 8th floor were furnished with wall cladding made of large-format, real wood veneered panels and plinths made of mirror-polished, black titanium nitrite-coated stainless-steel profiles.
Requirements for barrier-free use of the building were taken into account during the renovation.
