The library, stocked with art and design books for purchasing or loan, features original shelving imported from the revered London Library. Three event spaces on the second floor (with a central balcony overlooking Torstraße) play off its communist roots—once the home of the Politisches Buro, it's aptly dubbed Politbüro and has its original wood paneling.
For pure unwinding, the heated pool, stunningly tiled with green Pyrolave volcanic stone and surrounded by timber decking, striped sun loungers and umbrellas, makes a picturesque place to lounge. Also available to guests and members, the Cowshed Relax spa offers facials, massages, and body treatments, along with sauna and steam room, while the Cowshed Active gym has yoga and pilates classes.
