In this apartment, within one of Frankfurter Allee’s representative buildings, the dense 1950s layout is transformed into a space of lightness. Bathroom and kitchen are rotated 90 degrees around the existing service core, existing openings are enlarged and linoleum replaces the original PVC flooring. 

Everything else remains—yet much changes. Daylight now reaches every room, circulation space disappears, and its former role is woven into the everyday use of the kitchen, which is drawn toward the center through visual connection.

The original floor plan remains legible, yet its programmatic logic is reinvented. The intervention preserves the building’s character while opening it up to contemporary living, where light, spatial clarity, and layered connections redefine both how the apartment is read and how it is lived.
