The British embassy is the first and only embassy in Germany to be built under a Private Finance Initiative (PFI). Arteos, a Bilfinger Berger-owned special purpose entity, financed and were to operate the embassy building for 30 years.

A further 30-year extension is possible, following which the building will revert to British government ownership. In December 2006 Bilfinger sold their interest in the embassy to the UK firm Secondary Market Infrastructure Fund.

Komische Oper Berlin
This proposed design by REX for the Komische Oper Expansion aspires to create a respectful and individual partner that highlights the Komische Oper building and defines a new urban node befitting the significance of the institution. Its contextual massing, outward-facing public functions, and generous urban plaza integrate the building in the neighborhood’s fabric.
