Tourism is booming in Berlin – something that is now benefitting more and more private households. The owners acquired this

small apartment in the heart of Berlin

several years ago and, after the sudden departure of the tenant, wanted to reshape it as temporary rental accommodation. With the simplest of design interventions, the kitchen and toilet were effectively redesigned and the apartment updated for its new use.

Consistency and careful selection of

materials

- the basis of every good design project.

The raw substance of the apartment was so rundown that a

careful restoration

was called for before the renovation. Floors were sanded and oiled; walls, ceilings, stucco, and doors were filled and painted; and the entire electrical system was renewed. Now the space shines in a new light.
