ARCHITECTURE

THE AESTHETICS OF A NEW ERA

Conceived as a cohesive statement for the ultimate experience: a striking granite façade, generous glazing, and an interior defined by the finest materials—marble, natural wood and terrazzo. Across 17 levels, spaces for refined encounters are crowned by a rooftop terrace created for special occasions.

FRANK BARKOW &
REGINE LEIBINGER

John Jahr Haus was designed by the award-winning German-American architecure practice Barkow Leibinger.

Notable Berlin projects by the studio include the high-rise for Total’s headquarters at Berlin Central Station (Hauptbahnhof) as well as the Estrel Tower, planned to become Berlin’s tallest hotel tower.

MULTIPLE
EXCELLENCE

NATURALLY
SUSTAINABLE

The façade of the John Jahr Haus is crafted from solid “Branco Aurora” granite, with visible drill marks that shape its distinctive architectural character.

This rough-hewn natural stone is renowned for its durability and is sourced from a quarry near Viseu, east of Porto.
