ceilings and bulkheads throughout, which allow for
in-ceiling cassette units with exhaust grilles neatly
recessed into bulkhead faces.
Sustainability
Recycled and treated greywater from the nearby
Potsdam water treatment works is treated
and disinfected and then temporarily stored
in a central treatment mini plant installed in
the lower basement. The water is fed via a
separate distribution pipeline system to each
unit’s bathrooms for the flushing of toilets.
This system effectively re-uses grey water and
Axis
alleviates the pressure on natural clean drinking
water resources.
Interiors
Each apartment has been designed to optimise
views, light and to provide a generosity of space
that extends to the provision of ample terraces.
The finishes are split into two main options; a
cool palette, with whites, light greys, and high
gloss finishes, and a warm palette characterised
by natural and rustic tones. The apartment mix
consists largely of two-bedroom units, with one-
bedroom apartments in the lowest wing adjacent
to Axis Lane, three-bedroom units on the corners
and five penthouses on the top three floors.
