In just 20 seconds, Europe’s fastest elevator whisks guests up to the 25th floor of the high-rise POTSDAMER PLATZ 1. A breathtaking view of Berlin is awaiting them at the top. The 24th and 25th floors combine an observation deck, a 360° glassed-in café with roof terrace, and an open-air exhibition. The top of the tower is appropriately called Panorama Point (“Panoramapunkt”). The 103-metre high edifice was built by , who realised his vision of a transatlantic bridge with this imposing work. The style of the tower is reminiscent of American skyscrapers from the 1920s Art Deco era, but in stark contrast to its form, the building is clad in a traditional German peat-fired brick façade. Growing out of its triangular base in a terrace-like fashion, this 25-storey tower is a striking addition to the skyline of Berlin’s city center.
It also is, somehow, reminiscent of the architecture and the mood from the movie 1984 after George Orwell's novel.
