Black Beauty, house in Berlin Biesdorf, living room with pool view
Project xi. · Residential

Black Beauty.

Location Berlin Biesdorf · Germany
Type Residential House

From yellow clinkered prefab
to elegant contemporary home.

Starting point

A yellow clinkered prefabricated house built in 1990, in a district of family homes, sumptuous gardens and an almost village-like character.

Minimalist interior with taxidermy peacock beside staircase

Turning point

Dismantling the ceiling slab and repositioning partition walls turned an ordinary entrance into a bright vestibule. Retrofitted skylights pulled daylight into rooms that had not seen direct sun in three decades.

Window corner with owl figure, rattan floor lamp and walnut side cabinet

"By dismantling the ceiling slab and repositioning partition walls, an otherwise ordinary doorway was converted into a jubilant and cheerful vestibule, flooded with daylight."

Result

An elegant black facade set against box windows made of larch, which also serve as seating. Inside, a rhythm of dark bays and bright surfaces. A 1990 structure carried into a 2020s home without losing its spine.
