Understated Elegance in Herzogpark

Refined Living in Munich's Most Coveted Address

The residential building at Kolbergerstraße 5 makes no loud statements—instead, it embodies understated elegance, true to the architectural vision of Pritzker Prize laureate Sir David Chipperfield. Designed for developer Euroboden in collaboration with his longtime partner Mark Randel—who has been leading his Berlin-based Studio Mark Randel for the past decade—this urban palace seamlessly honors the Wilhelmine-era character of its surroundings while completing the historic urban fabric envisioned by Munich's influential architect and planner Theodor Fischer.

The façade speaks through restraint: refined lime plaster in two complementary finishes, vertical pilasters, and understated bands of natural stone. Quality is evident in every detail—from flush-fitted oak entrance doors and precisely detailed steel window frames to bronze-cast balustrade railings. Within its nearly 2,800 m² of living space, twelve residences of varying types create a distinctive program: two three-story townhouses, two penthouses, and eight apartments. The arrival experience centers on a dramatic two-story foyer, with townhouses flanking either side, their basements extending to the second level. Inside, the commitment to craftsmanship continues: floor-to-ceiling doors, oiled oak and other natural finishes, bronze hardware, and sculptural travertine bathtubs define the refined interior palette. The composition culminates in two penthouse suites beneath a traditional hipped roof, with one spanning two levels connected by a dramatic travertine staircase. To the southeast lies a private park along Kolbergerstraße; westward, a pleasant walk brings you to the banks of the Isar.
