Nestled in the heart of Berlin’s historic center, within the iconic Palais Varnhagen, this extraordinary penthouse represents an architectural masterpiece – envisioned by David Chipperfield Architects and completed in collaboration with Thiele Architekten as an unparalleled sanctuary of contemporary sophistication.
Spanning approximately 291 square meters, the residence unfolds as a symphony of light, proportion, and craftsmanship. Five-meter-high gallery windows flood the open living, dining, and kitchen area with natural light, revealing striking views across the city’s skyline.
Every element has been meticulously curated to create a dialogue between architecture, art, and materiality: bespoke cabinetry in certified rosewood, Roman travertine stone, elegant oak parquet with walnut inlays, and a custom Boffi kitchen adorned with an original artwork by Ilya Gaponov.
The master suite with its private sauna, the sculptural fireplace, and refined lighting and climate systems embody discreet luxury and effortless comfort. Expansive terraces and balconies extend the living space outdoors, offering rare privacy and serenity in the midst of Berlin’s vibrant core.
A home for connoisseurs, collectors, and aesthetes – where timeless design meets architectural excellence.
