Behrens-Ufer, a former industrial site located in the southeast of Berlin, will be undergoing transformation into a new urban technology hub over the next few years. On the banks of River Spree, research, development, and production will be combined in listed historical buildings and sustainably designed new additions. In the eastern part of the site, the Vertical Farmhouse designed by HENN will be constructed as a hybrid building featuring an innovative working and research environment with a fruit garden in its center.

位于柏林东南部的贝伦斯-乌弗（Behrens-Ufer）曾是一片工业用地，未来几年将转型成为一座全新的城市科技中心。在施普雷河畔，研发和生产将融合在受保护的历史建筑和可持续设计的新增建筑中。在场地东部，由HENN设计的垂直农舍将作为一座混合建筑，以创新的工作和研究环境为特色，并在其中心设有一个果园。

The new build comprises two blocks that enclose an ascending terraced rooftop garden, which creates a network of paths through the entire complex, extending all the way from the riverside promenade to the rooftop gardens. Below the gardenscape is a 9,000 square meter vertical farm for food production in synergy with a fish farm. Inspired by coastal agricultural landscapes, the rooftop garden is designed as a playful orchard with light extensions and overgrown pergolas inviting visitors to pick berries and fruit from trees. It serves as a place for outdoor communication, inspiration, and recreation for those who work in the building or visit the gardens.

新建筑由两座建筑组成，环绕着一个上升的梯田屋顶花园，形成了贯穿整个建筑群的步道网络，从河滨长廊一直延伸到屋顶花园。花园下方是一个占地9000平方米的垂直农场，与一个养鱼场协同生产食物。受沿海农业景观的启发，屋顶花园被设计成一个充满乐趣的果园，配有轻盈的延伸部分和茂盛的凉棚，吸引游客从树上采摘浆果和水果。它为在建筑内工作或参观花园的人们提供了一个户外交流、激发灵感和休闲娱乐的场所。

The pergolas mediate between platforms situated at different heights while interlinking the outdoor space with the work environments and laboratory areas located in the external building wings in a variety of ways. Thanks to the clearly structured grid, the wings can be divided and used in a flexible manner, which allows for a wide range of uses in the future. A bridge connects the two blocks to the riverbank. It accommodates co-working spaces and offers views across the River Spree and into the orchard. Meeting rooms incorporated into the garden terraces provide views of the vertical farm. Lettuce and herbs are grown in this structure reaching a height of up to nine meters, some of them in a fully automated setup. The aquaponics process establishes a natural cycle that uses nitrate-rich water from fish farming as fertilizer for growing plants.

凉棚架连接着不同高度的平台，并以多种方式将户外空间与位于建筑外部翼楼的工作环境和实验室区域连接起来。清晰的网格结构使翼楼可以灵活划分和使用，为未来的各种用途提供了保障。一座桥梁将两个体块与河岸连接起来。它容纳了共享办公空间，并可欣赏施普雷河和果园的景色。花园露台内的会议室可欣赏垂直农场的景色。在这个结构中种植的生菜和香草高度可达九米，其中一些采用全自动装置。鱼菜共生系统建立了一个自然循环，利用养鱼产生的富含硝酸盐的水作为植物生长的肥料。

In contrast to their lush natural surroundings, the building blocks are designed as clear, calm cubes. Its staggered levels allow the new build to blend harmoniously into its environs. The hybrid-timber structure uses a low-tech approach that minimizes resource and energy consumption. The façade combines large glass windows with photovoltaic panels for power generation. At ground-floor level, the building features arcades that open to the riverside promenade, inviting passersby to stroll through the Behrens Gardens.

与郁郁葱葱的自然环境形成鲜明对比的是，这些建筑体块被设计成清晰、平静的立方体。交错的层级结构使新建筑与周围环境和谐融合。混合木结构采用低科技方法，最大限度地减少了资源和能源消耗。外立面将大玻璃窗与光伏板相结合，用于发电。建筑底层设有通向河畔长廊的拱廊，方便路人漫步于贝伦斯花园。

Beehives will be placed on the rooftops alongside the agrivoltaic systems that allow the areas to be used for both agricultural production and electricity generation. Synergies from the vertical farm also contribute to the holistic sustainability concept.

屋顶将放置蜂箱，并配备农光伏系统，使这些区域既可用于农业生产，又可用于发电。垂直农场的协同效应也有助于整体可持续发展理念的实现。

As a new building block embedded in a newly designed urban neighborhood, the Vertical Farmhouse will serve as a model project on an international scale. Technology, nature, and agriculture merge into a holistic experience – right in the middle of the city.

作为嵌入新设计城市社区的全新建筑单元，垂直农舍将成为国际级的典范项目。科技、自然和农业在城市中心融为一体，带来全方位的体验。
