The Arkonaplatz, the Rheinsberger Straße, the Schröderstraße, and the Schlegelstraße are some of the locations we have been involved in redeveloping. At the beginning of 2007, we completed the Oxford-Residenz, an ideally situated property in the Kleine Jägerstraße 11 in Berlin-Mitte, and moved into our offices there. In 2009, we finalised our Kastaniengärten project in Prenzlauer Berg with 41 apartments, town apartments, and loft apartments, as well as two commercial units. We have nearly completed our two most current projects: ten exclusive apartments and two generously proportioned commercial units have been developed in the Meisterhaus at Hausvogteiplatz 14. In the Scheunenviertel, we have nearly completed the construction of the Prado Residenz as well as the front section and garden house of the Sophie-Charlotte and living houses at Linienstraße 216 217. Both projects have been fully sold, and the preparations for our new projects are in process. We can already reveal that things are going to get exciting in the Markgrafenstraße, Bismarckallee, and other projects in and around Berlin. Your Maik Uwe Hinkel and all of the Living Bauhaus Team, with a business that has been operating in a cooperative and friendly manner for years www.livingbauhaus.de

Living Bauhaus CONCEPT HISTORY REFERENCES Living Bauhaus is a registered real estate brand in the area of property development. The brand was launched in 2009 in order to represent the services offered under one uniform name. The Living Bauhaus brand is focused on the construction of residential and commercial properties and complexes in Berlin and Brandenburg, and can be traced back directly to the company cic group, founded in 1993. cic group was founded and initiated by Maik Uwe Hinkel, born 1963. The concept behind the Living Bauhaus brand is the quality of the construction and the quality of life of the customers should be given priority both before and after the completion of the respective project. In order to realise this ambition, the brand focuses on the Berlin housing market. The company s headquarters are also to be found in Berlin-Mitte: The Living Bauhaus offices are situated in the Kleine Jägerstraße 11 less than fifty metres away from the historic Hausvogteiplatz. Following the guiding principle of Bauhaus, in which architecture should work collaboratively with the other forms of arts and crafts to create a holistic work of art, the Living Bauhaus brand has dedicated itself to the Bauhaus manifesto and has been promoting these guiding ideas since 2012 with the Living Bauhaus Kunststiftung (Art Foundation). The company cic group emerged in 1993 from Dr. Büttner & Partner, a Berlin-based real estate project development company founded in 1989. Since its inception, the company has focused on the development and marketing of residential and investment properties. In order to unite all the services offered such as project management, construction, marketing, sales, architecture, interior construction, building services, project design, specialist property management, concierge services, tax and legal consultation, purchase contracts, and declarations of division of ownership under one product name, Living Bauhaus was developed and successfully launched on the market. Mr Dipl. Ing. Kay Tews has been a constant partner since then in his role as Head Engineer for this as well as for other companies associated with him. The sites of the Living Bauhaus projects are geared towards the highest possible quality of life and comfort. Living in the city centre offers many advantages, including the proximity to shops, public transport, schools, and cultural institutions. The Living Bauhaus properties are all situated in a central yet peaceful location. Living in Berlin s centre, combined with a preference for peaceful surroundings in which to live, led to the creation of the slogan Leben sie ruhig mittendrin ( Enjoy the quiet life in the centre of it all ), which has been used in the company group since 1993.

The whole is more than the sum of its parts. This piece of wisdom imparted by Aristotle to his students informs all that we do at Living Bauhaus. Thanks to our cooperation with renowned specialists from various areas of expertise, we create products which encompass much more than just the respective property.
