What can paint do? In Prenzlauer Berg, it can do anything: the optical illusion painted on the facade of the Schönhauser Allee 43a/44 residential building is guaranteed to catch the eye. It transports onlookers to another world.
It takes courage to take a facade away from its existing building, change it and redesign it with a three-dimensional facade painting. And it demands extraordinary creativity and skill from those who take on the task. This is an impressive example of both qualities.
With the existing windows, the building forms a single unit, chooses colors that complement the surroundings and at the same time create a magnificent depth that enriches the entire street. It takes a wealth of ideas, impressively combined with technical finesse: facade art that has been creatively designed and masterfully implemented!
