When Berlin-based architect and interior designer Ester Bruzkus seized the opportunity to relocate from the second to the top floor of her apartment building in Prenzlauer Berg—a vibrant, youthful neighbourhood—she embraced the chance to completely reimagine her living space. With panoramic views of Berlin as a backdrop, she transformed her new home into a masterpiece of interior design, reflecting her signature style of playful material contrasts, bold colour choices, and meticulous attention to detail, characteristic of her practice, Ester Bruzkus Architekten.
Ester redefined the apartment’s layout, introducing a series of geometric zones that seamlessly divide and connect the spaces. Her approach to home interior design shines through in the creative interplay of colours, textures, and bespoke furniture. In the dining area, soothing green tones harmonise with blush pinks, creating a sense of cohesion with the adjacent lounge, where a custom-designed, luxurious sofa in shades of reddish pink becomes the centrepiece.
The apartment’s palette, inspired by candy-coloured hues, is juxtaposed against the raw beauty of the cool concrete floors and ceilings, embodying a modern, industrial edge. This striking contrast is further elevated by the mix of textures: the soft, inviting Berber rug beneath the glistening marble surfaces of modernist coffee tables adds a touch of warmth and refinement.
Ester’s expert eye for kitchen and bathroom interior design is evident in every corner, with functional yet artistic detailing that highlights her commitment to efficient planning and luxurious aesthetics. This Berlin apartment stands as a vibrant testament to the creativity and skill of home interior designers who know how to balance bold experimentation with timeless sophistication.
