Zander Rooftop

A complex full renovation and interior design project for a 170 m² rooftop apartment in Berlin, on the border of Mitte and Kreuzberg. Studio Bosko managed the complete scope — from structural planning with an engineering architect, through interior architecture, bespoke joinery, material specifications, furniture procurement, and art curation — for a family dwelling with impressive ceiling heights.

Located on the border between Berlin Mitte and Kreuzberg, the apartment overlooks the historic courtyards of Zander & Palm with their soulful industrial brickwork. Bought as a dark and dusty attic, within two years the space was transformed into a cosy and light-filled family dwelling with impressive ceiling heights.

A warm palette thanks to the presence of various types of wood — oak, teak, palisander — makes bright hues and textures pop through experimental treatment of timber and material mixes, as well as curated art pieces. With two small kids and regular dinner parties, the couple needed the kitchen to be both practical and joyful. After 2.5 years of developing, the interiors feel lived in and very liveable — which is what Studio Bosko aims for with every design project they take on.
