Make-Over: A Magnificent Berlin Studio
I remember it's fourth dimension for a novel mini make-over episode, how nigh you?! This fourth dimension I idea we'd caput to Berlin too the awe-inspiring studio of Our Food Stories too Design Tales (take a expect at previous earlier + afters inwards the serial here too here). The brainchild of creative duo Laura too Nora, Our Food Stories is a culinary feast for the eyes too has garnered a next of roughly 1 1000000 Instagram followers who halt yesteryear each twenty-four hours to larn recipes (read to a greater extent than nigh the duo too their move too receive got a expect within their homes inwards this interview). Let's dive inwards too notice out how they transformed the kickoff flooring of a derelict warehouse into a stunning studio for cooking, nutrient styling, photography, workshops too events.
Oh too give thank you lot you too hence much to the serial sponsor Builders Bay - an amazing online marketplace for builders, renovators too DIYers where you lot tin purchase too sell surplus materials, architectural salvage too ex display stock! Perfect!
Our Food Stories started out 5 years agone from a small-scale studio inwards the countryside, 1 lx minutes drive from Berlin. The tranquil setting was wonderful since it offset the stresses too strains of setting upward a business, "It actually rescued us, since the kickoff years of edifice upward our ain fellowship receive got been too hence stressful." However, the weblog became increasingly pop too they eventually grew out of it. "It made feel to expect for somewhere closer to home, too hence inwards the summertime of 2015 nosotros started to expect for a Studio inwards Berlin."
Since natural low-cal is a fundamental chemical constituent inwards their photography, it was of import to notice a infinite amongst at to the lowest degree 1 North facing window. Known every bit 'reflected light', northward low-cal is pop amid artists since it bathes the dependent plain inwards the same cool ambience throughout the twenty-four hours - giving artists too photographers greater command over their move (this has got me thinking nigh using the North facing windows inwards my habitation more!). The infinite would also necessitate a high ceiling to jibe their enormous tripod!
The duo went to stance some other belongings which wasn't quite right. However, from the window they spotted a edifice 500 metres away too straightaway vicious inwards honey amongst the windows too the edifice which combined "nice too neat amongst quondam schoolhouse charm". They passed yesteryear on spec too flora that the kickoff flooring was notwithstanding empty too had the perfect low-cal (two north-facing windows) too height. Result!
"When nosotros saw the infinite for the kickoff fourth dimension nosotros merely could non believe it was notwithstanding available to rent! The kickoff matter nosotros did was cheque the hollo for of the range too the 2nd fourth dimension nosotros visited nosotros brought some flowers too did a footling attempt out photograph shooting."
Despite the incredible shell, the infinite was inwards desperate necessitate of renovation. The walls were yellow, too some walls didn't fifty-fifty exist. It also had no bathroom.
Thankfully they would necessitate to practise footling inwards the way of renovating themselves.
"If you lot rent a studio or apartment inwards Federal Republic of Federal Republic of Germany the landlord has to give it to you lot inwards a expert (renovated) condition. As a renter you lot don't usually receive got a large influence on the renovation, but luckily nosotros could create upward one's heed on a lot of the details, which nosotros are really thankful for. "
The landlord prepped too painted the walls (white) and, at the asking of Laura too Nora, installed an incredible concrete floor.
The master copy viii metre high ceiling was something of a photographers dream but they were warned yesteryear the landlord that their heating mouth would move astronomical if they kept it too a number it was lowered yesteryear several metres.
"We would never receive got lowered it, but the landlord told us that it would receive got been impossible to move along the infinite warm inwards the wintertime because the roof has no insulation."
Overall though, the duo are delighted amongst the results of the renovation.
The duo used slice of furniture too lighting to split the vast room into a serial of zones: "we created dissimilar corners, which let us to create dissimilar gear upward ups." But they were also keen to move along the infinite pared-back too clutter-free. "It’s really of import to receive got a infinite that is non every bit good packed, too hence when it gets messy during photograph shootings, you lot notwithstanding receive got plenty space."
Being nutrient stylists too photographers, the kitchen was a major focus. The duo spent a lot of fourth dimension thinking nigh which kitchen to install, inwards the cease settling on a kitchen from Frama. "It perfectly fits the industrial surroundings, nosotros are too hence inwards honey amongst it!"
Despite the white finish, Laura too Nora are pleased that they tin run into the outline of the master copy brick wall. The lines / texture also assistance to intermission upward the empty expanse.
The duo had costless reign to pigment some of the walls too used pigment from KABE Copenhagen to add together nuance too texture. "We merely chose yesteryear intuition which wall should larn which colour."
This mammoth tripod is 1 of the reasons they needed a studio amongst such a high ceiling!
"The way nosotros select the vogue of the interior comes naturally too is also sort of indirectly dominated (in a expert way) yesteryear the infinite itself, its aura too its architectural character."
"We honey the mix of quondam too new! Our habitation inwards Berlin is to a greater extent than modern, amongst novel danish blueprint interiors, our habitation inwards the countryside to a greater extent than rustic, but also amongst a modern influence too our studio is sort of a mix of both amongst industrial elements."
"Some of the vintage slice of furniture is from Ebay too a lot of the quondam tables too lamps were bought from J&V too Urban Industrial."
"We are too hence grateful too happy to move inwards this wonderful space."
