Light-filled Berlin Pied-à-terre
Mediterranean Bathroom, Berlin
We had to move plumbing and walls, tear down the ceiling and then rebuild the entire bathroom. In the end, we invested the most time and money here.
We know from previous home renovations that if you're going to splurge on materials, do it in the smallest room to make the greatest impact. We took this to heart and invested heavily in a custom steel + glass shower and handmade Moroccan tiles. We’d fallen in love with zelij on a trip to Morocco; zelij is handmade by artisans who have learned their trade from generations before, and our love for them is their uneven, imperfect & beautifully blemished surface. Their natural terra cotta color fits the other Mediterranean-inspired touches we were bringing into the apartment. It was a bit difficult to source them, but we felt strongly about using unglazed zelij to keep a raw, matte finish that would feel natural to walk barefoot on.
