A 120 sqm apartment in a former school building in Friedrichshain was transformed into a calm and refined home for a single resident, combining spatial clarity with moments of retreat and indulgence.
The design approach centers on creating a sense of peaceful living, particularly attuned to Berlin’s long winter months. A dedicated 30 sqm spa area — including sauna, jacuzzi, bath, and shower — becomes an essential part of the daily ritual, offering warmth, stillness, and recovery within the home.
The kitchen, combined with the dining area and connected to a balcony, forms a generous hosting space that naturally separates the more private sleeping quarters. This clear zoning allows the apartment to shift between social and intimate modes without compromise.
Custom-made lighting elements and bespoke furniture pieces define the atmosphere, while integrated storage solutions maximize the use of space with precision and restraint. Craftsmanship and practicality guide every detail, ensuring durability, coherence, and ease of living
Set within a 1950s building designed in a restrained Neoclassical style — characterized by its symmetry, clear proportions, and subtle ornamentation — the apartment reflects a dialogue between historical structure and contemporary life. The result is a home that feels grounded, composed, and quietly luxurious..
