The outdoor facilities of the office building belong to the overall project, which also includes the residential building attached to it to the north-west and the residential tower to the north-west. The design of the overall open spaces of these three projects is entitled “Green Waves from the Spree”. Like the waves of the Spree, the slightly curved, green areas with their hedges and tree lines on the buildings in Hannah-Karminski and Gutenbergstrasse.

Embedded in this landscape of waves are the axial paths around the office building, which lead to the Spree, as well as the adjoining squares and terraces for semi-public events and everyday office life. The hilly landscape design continues in the private and communal rooms around the social housing building and the Spreebogen residential tower, the design of which seizes on the design language of the rounded polygonal architecture and thus allows the open space to become part of the architectural whole.
