This 4-room apartment is located on the 1st floor of an old building from the turn of the century in Berlin and it is on the market by Fantastic Frank. The renovation of the building was carried out in 2011-2013, whereby the entire building technology now meets the latest standards. The four rooms have the typical proportions of old buildings; high ceilings, beautifully dimensioned floor areas, large high windows and doors.

The entire apartment is characterized by a unique interior design. Modern built-in fittings such as wardrobes or bookshelves document the claim to combine modern and old. This respectful handling is evident in the preservation of everything historical: ceiling stucco of a special kind, plank floors and rod parquet in fish-bone form, double and single-leaf solid wood doors with cassette-like ornamentation with original door frames, old door handles etc.

The most striking are though the chosen colors. White runs through all rooms with ceilings, doors, skirting boards, niches as well as entire rooms. This contrasts with colored anthracite tones, warm brown or a sulking room pink based on Farrow and Ball. This light-dark contrast is brave and at the same time impressive. Contemporary design in its most beautiful form of expression – unique. The abstract expressive art comes from Rabe Habdank  and the color-washed furniture from Johanenlies .
