A 22sqm designer studio in Berlin: the art of living in a small space
Natural textures, and raw concrete define this 22sqm designer studio in Berlin by Grzywinski+Pons at the Locke East Side Gallery
Located at the Locke East Side Gallery, on the banks of the Spree, this 22sqm designer studio in Berlin was created by the New York-based firm Grzywinski+Pons. These are the same architects who designed Buckle Street Studios in London and the WunderLocke in Munich. Their signature style is unmistakable: rigorous yet sensitive.
The hand-scraped wood floor interacts with shimmering glass, directly inspired by the reflection of the Spree. A subtle nod to the river, discreet yet ever-present. The bedroom walls are clad in wood paneling, while the bathroom plays on the contrast between raw concrete and kiln-formed glass. The exposed concrete on the ceiling is intentional. It anchors the space in Berlin, a city that has never been afraid to show its scars. A city that underwent post-war reconstruction that put concrete in the spotlight.
Dried flowers, gray wood, and touches of greenery punctuate the space. Every object has its purpose. It brings to mind those Scandinavian interiors where nature enters without being immediately noticed. The studio overlooks the city. Light is everywhere thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows.
This is where the Grzywinski+Pons project goes beyond simply being a hotel room. This small apartment features a fully equipped kitchenette, a workspace, and a full bathroom. The wood paneling, concrete walls, and books on the coffee table create an atmosphere that blends Scandinavian hygge with Berlin minimalism. This studio reminds us that living in a small space is never a handicap. It’s a matter of design and optimization. And here, both of these criteria are perfectly addressed.
