Brutalist Silence by Annabell Kutucu

The latest project by Berlin-based interior designer Annabell Kutucu is a brutalist creative hub for thought leaders, rule breakers and innovators. Located in Berlin’s community space Marina Marina, a re-positioning of 1950’s architecture at the waterfront and home to talented entrepreneurs, the minimalist design blends brutalist silence with wabi-sabi inspired aesthetics.

If you're familiar with Annabell's incredible work, which I have featured several times over the years, you will recognise her clever knack for bringing together new and vintage pieces alongside her own custom-designed elements. I especially love the recessed dark timber shelving. Together with the dark kitchen cabinetry they bring warmth and texture to the concrete surroundings, while beautiful furniture in dark wood and leather further softens the rough architecture, creating an inspiring environment throughout.

No Ordinary Apartment by Annabell Kutucu

Today I was very happy to discover a new project by Berlin-based interior designer and stylist Annabell Kutucu. Featured on the blog previously, Annabell is known for her interior design work across some incredible hospitality projects such as the Casa Cook Cos and Tulum Treehouse. Her distinctive style is marked by the use of natural materials and an understated yet warm, minimalist aesthetic. This new residence in Vienna aptly named No Ordinary Apartment features a beautiful composition of custom-made interiors, wooden furniture, rough linen and carpets, selected mid-century vintage finds and unique objects. 

Located in the bustling neighbourhood of the 6th district in Vienna, the 300sqm apartment is a place of retreat for a well-travelled design aficionado. Divided in two units with seamless connection through wooden sliding doors, the apartment is light and airy with high ceilings and large windows. The bright open-plan living, kitchen and dining space forms the centre of the apartment where friends can come together for long dinners and endless talks. 

One of my favourite areas is the bedroom above. I love the simplicity and rawness of the built-in rustic wood shelf. Large scale artworks feature throughout the apartment and the bright hues of this piece provide a beautiful contrast in the monochrome space.

I also love the steel glass sliding doors and minimalist shelves - perfect for housing an enviable book and ceramic collection!

Loft Apartment + Studio by Annabell Kutucu

A couple of weeks ago I introduced you to Berlin-based interior designer and stylist Annabell Kutucu with this beautiful home. Knowing I would be returning to share more of her work, I couldn't wait any longer to show you this stylish space, Loft Apartment + Studio. The living room, with its herringbone flooring and beautiful big windows would be a dream to both style and spend time in. Even though the room is grand, the modular furniture and layered floor rugs create an intimate, cosy feel. 

A little bit darker and moodier in the kitchen and dining room, there's also a definite masculine vibe throughout the home. The bedroom however has been injected with a beautiful softness thanks to a warm grey palette and textural layers including the bedding and sheer curtains. These elements, together with the stunning windows and tree views outside make this room simply divine.
