Elegant apartment in Berlin
This 140 sqm apartment, untouched for four decades, was thoughtfully reimagined for a professional couple seeking a peaceful yet functional home base. With green being the client’s favourite colour, it was used as the key accent throughout the space — offering freshness, harmony, and continuity.
The vision was clear: create a welcoming, comfortable environment to return to after long workdays. To achieve this, we opened up the original layout by removing non-structural walls and doors, allowing natural light to flow freely through the apartment. Discreet, functional storage was built into every opportunity, ensuring the space remained uncluttered while seamlessly incorporating the clients’ treasured antiques and art into an eclectic yet cohesive style.
Entrance Hallway
Electric meters were cleverly hidden behind a bespoke shoe cupboard, with silk wallpaper covering the storage doors to create an inviting and intimate first impression.
Living/TV Room
The centerpiece is a bespoke TV unit crafted from zircote teak veneer, cut from the side of the tree trunk to showcase its natural grain and contrast. A custom-designed sofa and coffee table complement the space, while carefully positioned lighting highlights the clients’ sculpture and art collection. A striking Indian marble fireplace in a neo-classical style immediately draws the eye upon entering, functioning as both a design anchor and a sculptural focal point.
Kitchen + Dining
The minimalist, open-plan kitchen and dining area balances everyday functionality with easy entertaining. Hidden doors — designed to appear as seamless wall panels — discreetly conceal utility areas and private rooms, preserving the visual calm of the space.
Bathrooms
The primary bathroom, designed for her, features a luxurious bizaza green leaf mosaic and a hamam-style shower with integrated steam equipment, evoking a serene spa experience. A second, equally refined bathroom connects directly to the office, offering his private space.
Master Bedroom
Tranquil and uncluttered, the bedroom features tailored HIS & HER storage solutions to maintain a peaceful and orderly retreat.
Office
Overlooking a quiet courtyard, the office offers a calm space for work, complete with a sofa bed for guests and direct access to the second bathroom.

Eclectic four bedroom family home in Berlin
The design concept for this apartment was to create a warm and beautiful yet functional family home with generous entertaining space. By either removing or opening up as many walls as possible, we managed to bring in a modern loft feel. This also helped to maximise the distribution of natural light in this upper ground floor garden apartment.
Every room has a unique character and at the same time the transitions from room to room are effortless and fluid. The sense of open space allows for a multitude of fascinating perspectives into the differently themed rooms, resulting in ever-fresh inspiration and joy. At the same time all the rooms individual functions are wonderfully practical to use and enjoy.
In addition, great care was taken to keep the multi-cultural background of the family in mind and so furniture and materials have been sourced from all over the world and applied with truly artistic flair.

The focus of this design was to create luxurious and functional spaces for the family who enjoy entertaining extended family and friends. The distinct sense of sumptuousness was achieved with the use of high gloss woods, silk wall papers, antique gold finishes, rich choices of fabrics for furnishings and crystal chandeliers.

The apartment design reflects the owner’s love of elegance, art and tranquillity. The owner’s contemporary art collection and Italian-sourced furniture blend seamlessly with more traditional architectural features and antique Persian rugs. The sense of peaceful elegance is further deepened through the use of luxurious materials, textures, and the subtle integration of adjustable mood lighting to provide a wonderfully atmospheric experience.
