By Nestled in Berlin-Charlottenburg, MOMM Apartment stands as a testament to the marriage of historic charm and contemporary design. With Studio Loes at the helm of the interior design, this 205 m2 7-room apartment underwent a transformative journey, breathing new life into its early twentieth-century residential structure.
Rediscovering the Essence
The apartment’s original layout, characterized by high ceilings and a labyrinthine floor plan, posed a challenge ripe for innovation. Studio Loes embarked on a mission to reimagine the space, drawing inspiration from the iconic firewall that spans the west side. By strategically integrating bespoke built-in furniture crafted from wood and natural stone, the design team aimed to foster cohesion while celebrating the apartment’s architectural heritage.
Preserving History, Embracing Modernity
Throughout the renovation, Studio Loes retained key historical elements such as stucco moldings and round arches, seamlessly juxtaposing them against contemporary furnishings. In the entrance area, light-varnished oak built-ins pay homage to the past while offering practical storage solutions. The focal point—a towering walnut bookshelf—stands as a testament to functional artistry, serving as both a storage unit and a striking visual centerpiece.
Seamless Integration
The wooden furniture extends seamlessly into the kitchen, where a minimalist aesthetic takes precedence. Stainless steel shelves and a center island underscore the room’s functionality, creating a space where form meets practicality. Meanwhile, a 15-meter-long hallway elegantly connects the living area with the dressing room, adorned with wooden fixtures that blur the boundaries between rooms.
Artistic Flourishes
Studio Loes’s attention to detail shines through in every corner of the apartment. Cleverly integrated recesses serve as artful frames, while bespoke “mute servants” crafted from rock crystal and stainless steel add a touch of elegance to the space. In the bathroom, a captivating watering hole motif takes center stage, showcasing Turkish marble slabs arranged with artistic precision.
Conclusion
MOMM Apartment stands as a testament to Studio Loes’s ingenuity and commitment to blending past and present. Through meticulous craftsmanship and thoughtful design, the space has been transformed into a harmonious sanctuary—a place where history and modernity converge in perfect harmony.
