AUKETT+HEESE are the architects for the tenant fit-out of Universal Musics new Berlin Headquarters in a listed heritage building which was formerly a cold-storage warehouse.

Universal Musics new location is situated adjacent to the "Oberbaum"-bridge over the river Spree east of the city centre. The building houses over 500 people in 9 levels with a total area of approx. 17.000 sq.m.

The different operating companies and record-labels within Universal Music appointed Designers to develop individual concept designs. In addition the building has a restaurant, a club, a sound studio, a kindergarten, a travel agency, hair salon and advertising agency etc.
