Today’s interior inspiration comes via real estate agency Fantastic Frank. This phenomenal period apartment in Berlin may be a bit bare due to the fact that the owners have moved out but boy, do I love the dimensions.
Funny how the mind races ahead as by the time I’d gone through all the images I’d already relocated my entire life and family to Berlin, kitted the apartment out and had a scooter race with the kids though all those double doors covering the entire 20m length.
I adore period properties as I cannot help but imagine the life and the people who have lived there before. Berlin was of course heavily bombed during the war and I’m wondering what this apartment might have looked like in those times.
Now the property finds itself in one of the trendiest areas of Berlin, Prenzlauer Berg, and as it’s such an unusual space Fantastic Frank had the clever idea to host a photography exhibition just before Christmas, inviting the local hipsters and getting coverage by blogging talent Bungalow5 and Coco Lapine Design to name but a few.
Looking at the seven rooms with their impressive ceiling height gives me serious space envy and the original details including parquet flooring, windows, door, stucco and two feature balconies make this a dream for period lovers. I sincerely hope it’ll be picked up by somebody who can restore the slightly tired looking apartment to it’s former glory and have equally exciting times, scooter races or not.
