The Korsörer St. 20 of Berlin’s Prenzlauer Berg is situated in the heart of the so-called Gleim District, named after the poet Johann Wilhelm Ludwig Gleim. Here two unrenovated flats were acquired in an Art Nouveau town house from 1900, which then were merged and reconstructed by “Sophie von Bülow. Architektur und Design.” during the core refurbishment of the entire house. By redesigning the layout of the flat, architect Sophie von Bülow created a modern light flooded apartment, without loosing the charm of the Art Nouveau style. For maximal use of the 75 square meters, von Bülow combined living- and dining room with the kitchen space by two floor-to-ceiling openings and let the rooms mesh. A beautiful open and communicative space was created. The bathroom was scaled down in order to build a “walk-in” closet. The bathroom was turned into a minimalistic and clean space. Sophie von Bülow’s love for clarity, functionality and materials can be found even in the smallest detail. Concreed constructed the concrete floor and the washbasin. The small bathroom, with its industrial elements and conceptual approach are in beautiful harmony with the preserved Art Nouveau elements, as obtained in the old stucco and case windows throughout the apartment. The old wooden floorboards from 1900, which could mostly be obtained were sanded, leached and oiled in white. The old wallpaper was removed and the walls were primed and re-plastered. The architecture bureau “Sophie von Bülow. Architektur und Design.” transformed the two flats and created a sun filled, contemporary and friendly town apartment that welcomes it’s history and effortlessly throws industrial and natural materials into an updated mix.
