Stainless steel worktop and floor-to-ceiling windows bring a sense of industrial style to this loft apartment that impresses from every angle. Dark wood surfaces along with black steel-framed appliances complete a set-up which is ideal for entertaining friends or simply enjoying the view after a hard day’s work.


"I wanted a home that was spacious and stylish but that also pays tribute to Berlin's creative energy."
Josef
Sound engineer
As a creative in the music industry who frequently works from home, Josef wanted a space that makes him feel inspired and collected. This effortlessly cool loft apartment is everything a Berlin innovator needs: light, airy, stylish and comfortable.
When he’s not busy working, Josef loves to entertain, so the open-plan kitchen was a must. Whether it’s drinks on the terrace or a dinner among friends, he has everything he needs (and more) to wow his guests.
