This project is located in an elongated building in Budapester Straße witch was erected between 1956 and 1957. The third storey of the Bikini House was originally omitted, so that the upper and lower floors were linked merely by a series of columns. This prompted Berliners to give it its colloquial name. In 1978, the missing storey was added to create space for the arts gallery. Nowadays, this concrete construction is an unoccupied space, which create a physical border between the Breitscheidplatz and the zoologischer garten.
