Panoramapunkt Berlin boasts an iconic architectural style that harmonizes modernity. The building, dating back to 1999, was conceived by architect Hans Kollhoff. The Kollhoff Tower, characterized by its postmodern design, stands on the former Berlin Wall path, marked by cobblestones. The buildings' facades primarily use materials like brick, terra cotta, and sandstone. These create a range of colors including beige, soft brown, and ocher. Its remarkable glass facade reflects the city's dynamism while offering panoramic vistas. 

The tower rises as a modern marvel, yet its design pays homage to the past. The architectural elements blend seamlessly, with its dual role as an observation deck and an urban landmark.
