The award-winning architecture of Daniel Libeskind's Sapphire in Berlin Mitte challenges. Slated windows, sloping surfaces and lines that only in the rarest of cases do they meet at a 90 degrees angle. A basis for interior planning that could hardly be more challenging. The Fabian Freytag Studio meets the sculptural design inside the penthouse of the penthouse 106 with a concept that is invidualized and sets a symphonic play of surfaces.
What at first glance sounds like an overwhelming abundance of materials is in reality a unique interplay of organic surfaces. The diagonal walnut picks up on the daylight streaming in from above. The reflections of the hammered steel lend lightness to the soaring spaces. Patterns enclosed in the natural stone act like frozen forces of nature and paradoxically give the rooms something soft and calming. The interior by Fabian Freytag Studio breathes something human into the abstract forms of Libeskind's architecture, creating a homely retreat in the sculptural building.
