Space for architecture – loft-style duplex in the Rheingauviertel

This maisonette combines the charm of a listed period building with the spaciousness of a light-filled loft. It is located in the Gartenstadt on Südwestkorso, one of the significant residential ensembles of Berlin Modernism.

Spanning around 218 m² of living space, the home extends across the fourth and fifth floors. Its focal point is beneath the roof: an open-plan living space of over 100 m² creates a special spatial effect with ceilings over four metres high, large skylights and a southern aspect. Daylight accompanies this area from morning until evening.

The open-plan kitchen merges with the dining area and the lounge to create a space for shared living and entertaining. A south-facing balcony and a spatially separated study complement this level. Two further rooms and a tastefully designed bathroom can be accessed from the hallway.

An internal staircase leads down to the carefully modernised older part of the fourth floor. There, two rooms, an east-facing loggia and a second bathroom offer space for retreat. Refurbished double-casement windows, old floorboards and high ceilings preserve the design identity of this area. A separate apartment entrance provides additional flexibility.

In the top floor, high-quality finishes, carefully executed details and underfloor heating set a clear design accent. The interplay of historic fabric, an open floor plan and plenty of light makes this flat a special place for people with a sense of architecture and design.

NOTE: The listed historic building does not have a lift.
