Josef's dream home

Berlin kitchen with stainless steel tops

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.
