The Tower and Wings residential complex in Berlin's Kreuzberg, one of the few projects built by renowned architect John Hejduk, brings his imaginative ideas into everyday life through a 14-story tower, two five-story buildings, and subtle green details.

Safir Arjan - Kreuzberg Tower and Wings residential complex in Berlin is one of the projects built by John Haydock in collaboration with Moritz Müller between 1986 and 1988. Hidok only turned a limited number of his architectural designs into actual buildings; The issue that makes this collection a remarkable example of his works.

This complex was designed for the Berlin International Building Exhibition in 1987 with the aim of providing social housing. The composition of the building consists of two five-story buildings and a 14-story tower. The gray facade of the buildings is accompanied by balconies, pale green awnings and small star-like signs.
