In a listed building from 1898 designed by Max Gosebruch, this apartment unfolds as a dialogue between past and present. High ceilings, white painted floorboards and a bespoke Reform kitchen create a calm, precise atmosphere, complemented by colourful built ins and a real wood fireplace at the centre.

The open living and dining area forms the heart of the home. The Reform kitchen, with its warm wood fronts and brushed steel countertop, reads like a graphic element in the space, accompanied by a floor to ceiling cabinet in lime green that combines storage with architectural presence. A subtle wooden structure in the entrance and classic double doors echo the craftsmanship of the original building.

The bathroom in a soft pistachio hue and a bright glazed room, ideal as a child’s bedroom or studio, continue the concept of light, material and function in clear balance. A building permit for a balcony extension adds an outdoor dimension, completing this harmonious ensemble of old and new.

The building reflects the refined character of late Berlin historicism. Red brickwork, segmental arched windows and discreet stone details lend the façade depth and rhythm. The entrance hall, with its green glazed walls, glossy surfaces and ceramic accents, captures the light softly. A double door with muntin windows opens the view outside and preserves the quiet elegance of the house.

Just steps from Kollwitzkiez, the address enjoys a prime location. The nearby Rykestraße offers markets, cafés and restaurants, while a supermarket next door makes daily life easy. The tram at the doorstep provides effortless connections to Mitte, Prenzlauer Berg and the surrounding neighbourhoods, urban and vibrant yet pleasantly quiet in the rear building.
