Excerpt: Hotel Bellman Berlin-Neukoelln by Tchoban Voss Architekten draws inspiration from the vibrant energy of New York’s Meatpacking District. Featuring a striking bronze aluminum and glass façade, the hotel integrates smoothly into its urban context. The building’s form, rhythmic façade, and subtle setbacks respond to the surrounding architecture, creating a bold yet cohesive presence on the city corner.
Project Description
[Text as submitted by architect] On the corner of Karl-Marx-Strasse and Grenzallee, the Hotel Bellman Berlin-Neukoelln is a new building with a striking, golden bronze-coloured aluminium and glass façade that makes an architectural statement in the lively neighbourhood inspired by the raw energy of New York’s Meatpacking District.
The seven-storey perimeter block development blends homogeneously into the neighbourhood thanks to its street-side, closed construction and gives the deserted street corner a structural conclusion. The building heights, building lines and building depths mediate between the partially Wilhelminian-style neighbouring buildings. The staggered backs of the respective building corners adapt to the eaves heights typical of the area, break up the otherwise homogeneous façade grid and become a varied design element.

The hotel is accessible via the main entrance on the street side. There are seven barrier-free and three wheelchair-accessible rooms in accordance with DIN. All floors are accessible by lift.
The existing above-ground parking spaces have been replaced by a two-storey underground car park with a total of approx. 28 parking spaces.
