Arno Brandlhuber and Muck Petzet are renowned for their way of reimagining urban construction and living. And every collaboration between their two firms places further emphasis on innovation. With LAIKA, the two architects have added yet another asset to the city of Berlin.
Arno Brandlhuber came to Berlin in 2007. Along with a few plans in his back pocket, he also had a vision: to develop a new, more diverse type of residential construction in the heart of the city. Brandlhuber’s buildings are always a commentary on our urban way of life and a reflection on communal living in the city. And despite all the formal precision, the focus is on how the architecture is used – how do people spend time in each particular space?
With his commitment to sustainability research and his work as a curator, author and propagandist for a new understanding of existence as a resource, Muck Petzet goes beyond the boundaries of his profession. His work is characterized by the principle of minimum intervention – he wants to benefit the economy and society while minimising the impact on the environment. The result of this approach is durable, repairable, convertible buildings that can withstand changing conditions thanks to their openness and spaciousness.
To increase the feel-good factor at the LAIKA, there is access* to the Health Club & Spa, which is located in a neighboring residential building. Fitness rooms, saunas, a pool with counter-current system and a terrace surrounded by greenery invite you to relax and unwind. Activities such as Reformer Pilates and fitboxing are also available in the immediate area, ensuring an optimum mix of fitness and wellness.
* Access for selected apartments only.
With its diverse range of offerings, the AM TACHELES urban quarter saves time and resources by reducing unnecessary journeys. LAIKA is perfectly integrated into the public transport network and offers for-rent parking spaces for bikes and cars (including e-charging stations) in the underground car park.
The approximately 50 high-profile shops, restaurants, cafés and bars located within walking distance further enhance the quality of living at LAIKA. Highly respected institutions such as the Friedrichstadt-Palast and Fotografiska, which attract hundreds of thousands of visitors from around the world every year, offer ample creativity and inspiration.

The issue of healthy living environments has long gone under the radar. But in 2006, the ECARF seal was introduced to recognise allergy-friendly products. With this in mind, materials such as floors, adhesives, sealants, paints and varnishes, fixtures and fittings made of steel, aluminium, plastics and wood, and even the plants in public areas are all tested for pollutants. And LAIKA, along with its surrounding urban quarter, is ECARF-pre-certified.
