GRAFTLAB is a Berlin-based laboratory for modern creative environments, located near Invalidenstrasse and Ackerstrasse in the Mitte district. Designed by GRAFT Architects, the building merges living and working spaces with generous green areas. It features an open layout with both high- and low-tech systems, including natural airflow from the underground car park and biogas-powered ventilation.
The six floors accommodate offices, commercial units, and apartments, forming a vibrant, flexible community that blurs work-life boundaries. Interiors foster collaboration through shared spaces like open staircases and kitchenettes. A rooftop overlooks the landscaped courtyard and adjacent park, while the SOLARKIOSK solar garden ensures barrier-free access to greenery. GRAFTLAB champions heterogeneity, flexibility, and natural efficiency – serving as a prototype for the next generation of hybrid office buildings.
