Workshops, product presentations, dinners and city weddings for up to 100 guests per space can be organised at OSD Berlin, short for Organisation for Sound and Delight, an event venue of about 1,000 m² in a courtyard building in Berlin-Friedrichshain. Five rooms and a garden are run by one in-house team that handles planning, catering, service and technology.
Seminars and company events
The ROOF, a 160 m² room with large windows and a high ceiling, takes up to 100 people for training, workshops and presentations. It has a modular grandstand with 40 seats, a 5 by 4 m projection screen with a 5,000-lumen projector, a 75-inch rollable touchscreen, an 85-inch presentation panel, six-point sound and air conditioning. The LOFT, 120 m² on the ground floor, works for seminars and coworking by day and seats 80 at dinner. SOUNDSPACE, on the lower level, has 16 workstations with USB, Ethernet and power. A 1,000 Mbit/s fiber line serves the building.
Sound is the house theme. Listening sessions, sound dinners, supper club evenings and team-building formats sit alongside product launches, film premieres, readings and press events, and the venue can combine several rooms for one program.
Weddings and receptions
OSD hosts city weddings and private parties. A day can move from a reception in the garden to dinner at a long table in the LOFT and dancing in SOUNDSPACE, without leaving the building.
Rooms and capacities
The Home (120 m², up to 90 people) combines a curtained stage, a 3D cinema with a 4 m screen, THX surround sound, a DJ booth and a library corner. The Haçienda (90 m², up to 50) is a private restaurant and bar with a high-fidelity sound system and a sofa lounge for 16.

The ROOF takes up to 100, and the 170 m² garden, with a pond, a waterfall and a covered fire and grill station, also takes 100.
Catering
Catering and service are in-house, from barbecues and food stations in the garden to fine dining at a long table. The garden has its own outdoor kitchen, and the Haçienda has a fully equipped bar.
History and setting
The venue occupies the second rear courtyard of a building on Mainzer Straße, away from street noise. The LOFT keeps historic stained-glass windows, an antique lectern and benches from old S-Bahn trains next to current sound and lighting systems. The venue also lists a micro spa among its facilities.
