A lot of things had experienced this Berlin property that was built around the 1900s. At the beginning of the century functioned as a salt factory, but throughout the history worked also as a STASI observatory. In the end, in 2010 the tarnished building had been begun to be transformed into apartments. The new owners in the open spaces see the implementation of unique opportunities.
The living room of the building that from outside looks to be classical is framed by linoleum flooring, untreated red brick wall, metal-framed factory windows and tiles, which give a neglected impression. On one side of the room that is used for office as well simple, white Salgo shelves keep the files and documents. On the antique carpet there is an oval, wooden small table, which is completed by a yellow armchair and a vintage, floral armchair. The most comfortable piece of furniture is a retro, gray sofa completed with funny textiles. Behind it a bohemian, turquoise blue small bookcase separates the tiny office, where in front of the pale pink wall there is a coat rack and a desk. Beside the huge windows the illumination is provided by a chandelier disguised into an upside down inverted Christmas tree.
The kitchen furniture’s of the American kitchen that is nearby are resplendent in simple white. Beside the wooden counter and the built-in pieces metal Salgo shelves held the kitchen utensils. Behind the furniture can be seen a special shaped, gray and white division wall. This distances the bathroom, where you can relax admiring the view.
In the elegant bedroom a bed frame worked up from pallets holds the mattress. Behind the puritan solution we can see a worn stone wall. A black sliding door separates the wardrobe, which is thrown up by a red wall.
The funny, colorful solutions conjure a bohemian atmosphere among the shabby, neglected factory details. In turn with creative solutions had been managed to establish from the hard spaces a cozy, industrial interior.
