S14                                  A beautifully restored Altbau of  in the heart of Charlottenburg, Berlin, this full apartment renovation places the kitchen at the center of everyday living. Crafted from warm wood veneer and topped with a stainless steel countertop, the kitchen combines natural tactility with a precise, architectural expression. Its defining feature is a pair of concealed doors, seamlessly integrated into the cabinetry. One reveals a handle-free refrigerator, while the other leads to a hidden utility and storage room, keeping all functional elements quietly out of sight. Throughout the apartment, the original wooden flooring was carefully sanded and finished with a white-pigmented oil, enhancing its natural texture while bringing a bright and timeless atmosphere to the historic spaces. The dialogue between warm timber, stainless steel, and restored original materials creates a calm, refined interior that respects the character of the Altbau while introducing a contemporary way of living.
