CURRENT OWNERS:
Why did you purchase the apartment?
“We both instantly fell in love with the location: incredibly central and within walking distance of everything that makes life worthwhile for us — museums, theatres, concerts, cafés and restaurants.”
How did the apartment become your home?
“We immediately felt the space and potential the moment we first walked in, although the original layout was rather impractical. An architect designed a plan for us that fit like a glove. The impressive length (28 metres) was preserved, while cleverly creating surprising spaces throughout the apartment — ensuring it still never feels boring, even after all these years.”
