Penthouse-Loft 43

Loft living at the highest level

In the 70s, New York artists conquered empty factories in SoHo, taking over the buildings' sprawling, repurposed storeys and spaces to pioneer loft living .

The desire for generous room heights that let homes breathe and spaces that emphasise individual freedom in the middle of the city is a tradition that remains unbroken to this day. Such spaces create generous living landscapes in which all areas merge together smoothly.

This attitude towards homelife is now finding itself at home in the heart of Berlin – right on Arkonaplatz, where old and new come together. Marked by airy ceiling heights, partly glazed with floor-to-ceiling, wood-framed windows and plastered steel structural girders, Penthouse-Loft 43 – housed in the revitalised A SPACE loft building development – is a real residential rarity in Berlin's historic centre.

Generosity in perfection

You need – at least or at most – two words to descrive this 188 square-metre penthouse loft apartment: pure luxury. It's extravagant floor plan and prestigious outfitting make it a jewel of a home that is set to exceed your highest expectations. No matter where you look, exquisite taste makes itself at home here.

An open and expansive living, cooking and dining area underlines the character of loft living, yet here you're not short on privacy: with four rooms, a daylight en-suite bathroom and two shower rooms, this ready-to-occupy loft apartment showcases a special sort of layout. This architectural gem is framed by two rooftop terraces with a total of nine glazed doors communicating with the living areas.

As everywhere on the property, great importance was placed on excellent design and the use of products from renowned manufacturers. For example, the installation of eleven floor-to-ceiling sliding doors, the finest parquet flooring, ash decking on the terraces and a freestanding cast-mineral bathtub in the en-suite bathroom ensure a thoroughgoing sense of sophistication and elegance.

Location

Berlin stands for art, culture and high fashion like no other European metropolis, is the seat of government and at the same time radiates the energy of a newborn city. This unparalleled combination has become a magnet for the international business, art and media scene.

All the energy and power of the capital seems to re-focus in Mitte. Here you will find museums, opera houses and concert halls thrilling art lovers from all over the world. The density of excellent restaurants is as high as anywhere else in the city and Mitte is home to Berlin's most exclusive addresses for shopping.

At Arkonaplatz, however, despite an excellent, central location in the midst of all of this, the impact of the city is hardly felt. As a mature, tranquil neighbourhood, streets lined with impressive Gründerzeit buildings and green spaces, it offers the perfect environment to rest and recharge your batteries – in short, an outstanding spot in the centre of Berlin.

Perfection: beauty and historical heritage

Penthouse-Loft 43, an exceptional home, has been created in one of the last revitalised loft buildings left standing at Arkonaplatz.

This imposing four-storey building between Wolliner Strasse and Kremmener Straße was built around 1900 as a place of creativity and craftsmanship, and in its new incarnation is already the new home for a number of residents who value something special.

An example insight into the restoration process: the brickwork of the existing façade has been uncovered and whitewashed, deliberately staging the roughcast surface, and a newly created two-storey structure housed in the inner courtyard has been intentionally designed as an adaptive, modern response to the ensemble's overall heritage-inflected aesthetic.
