The Admiralspalast, in the city centre of Berlin, is the first large concert and entertainment building financed through private funding. Once a vibrant magnet in the “golden twenties” and derelict over decades, it is now once again one of the most frequented cultural locations of the city. The concept was to create a multifunctional use with a large concert hall with 2.000 seats, a theatre as well as a large dance club, wellness areas and the noble Grand Café at ground level.
The design philosophy is simple and respects the existing listed building: It preserves where it has great quality, it takes out what is superfluous and it adds whatever is needed. A great new sculptural staircase links all levels together and allows the visitors to experience the building with its various uses.
After a classic concert, visitors can meet in the bar and later go to the club. Or start with a breakfast in the Café, go to wellness temple and meet in the Jazz Club - just as they like. After its reopening in August 2006, the new Admiralspalast is once again one of the favourite meeting places in Berlin, attracting more and more visitors every day.
