rainbow house in berlin

The Berlin home of designer Mischa Woeste and her architect husband (partner in firm Fingerle & Woeste – creators of the apartment) is as colourful as her fashion label Smeilinener.  It is not only the decor of this penthouse that is full surprises, but also the shapes of the rooms and ceilings are unusual. Quite fittingly, the house is called Furious Nutshell.

This apartment has an unusual circular flow from room to room excluding the master bedroom in the middle of the house; that room can be closed off with sliding doors.

Bright pink bathroom, neon green study – mix of materials and in some room styles too. Very unconventional.

Love the colour of the fuchsia staircase

This light is like a halo

The green Saarinen Pastilli chair works well with the purple hues of the wall units

Sliding doors can be used to close off the master bedroom

Even the doorframes are asymmetrical

Child’s room filled with light and colour. Note also the zig-zag ceiling

Tiled floors connect these two rooms – interestingly this sunken bathtub is separated from the kitchen only with a curtain

Kitchen has a collection of light sources

The roof terrace is rather zen in design

The terrace plays with natural elements

The storage units utilise the full height of the room

This green study is more traditional in furnishing choices if not colour-wise

Truly pink on pink -bathroom. The mosaic look like Bizassa glass tiles
