Köpenick: Allende II

Allende II continues the residential structure of the Allende quarter with apartment buildings, local infrastructure and proximity to forests and waterways. Allende II is shaped above all by the deliberate relationship between housing blocks, pedestrian paths and clearly structured shared open space. In Allende II, the daily character emerges through repeated building types, green courtyards and the separation of through traffic from internal routes. Allende II lies in the borough of Treptow-Köpenick, about 17 km southeast of central Berlin. The transitions from Allende II toward Kietzer Feld/Nachtheide and Siedlung Kämmereiheide are gradual, marked by changes in building form, traffic and greenery. The immediate streets and open spaces give Allende II a recognisable local identity of its own. Within Köpenick, Allende II stands out through the smaller everyday zones that exist inside a large planned layout.
