Altbau apartment renovation for a family in Berlin Mitte

A classical 140 sqm Berlin Altbau apartment has been restored and updated for modern family life. The original period features have been sensibly restored, with the original herringbone floors refinished to maintain its raw wood colour. The floorplan has been modified to create a calm master bedroom and ensuite bathroom in the darker, yard- facing wing of the apartment, while the kitchen has been brought into the front- facing, bright enfilade. The minimalist aesthetic of the carpenter kitchen with sandblasted steel surfaces creates a synergy with the classical architecture, while vintage furniture pieces create a familiar feeling. The re-configured master suite features a contemporary style with seemless plastered floors and bathrooms, flush skirting and custom built-in storage. Natural, tactile materials and a subtle colour palette create a soothing atmosphere.
