DIA Dittel Architekten

Rotating 207 metres above the German capital, the Sphere Tim Raue restaurant adds a new architectural, culinary and cultural dimension to Berlin’s iconic TV Tower. The listed tower sphere is now home to a place that preserves history while also exploring new horizons. A holistic interior design concept by Dittel Architekten and the culinary signature of renowned chef Tim Raue fuse together to create a space that is so much more than a restaurant – and which has its own unique atmosphere and international flair.

Since 2020, Berlin’s TV Tower has been undergoing a gradual and meticulous transformation – from a mere tourist attraction to a vibrant cultural hub. The renovation of the historic revolving restaurant marks a milestone in this development.

Based on a design concept centred on respect for the building’s architectural heritage, the exciting culinary venue covers an area of approx. 420 square metres, sensitively recreating the iconic look of the late 1960s. Working hand-in-hand with preservation authorities to maintain the tower’s historic structure gave rise to an overall concept that embraces the architecture, interprets it spatially and recasts its singular atmosphere.
