Berlin Bunker

Continuing on the theme of homes that aren't what you think... A World War II bunker turned into a penthouse apartment.

I love it's reinterpreted cheerful energy and that hexagon tile floor.

Dear Emma.

I found your site today and loved it.

I posted on my blog, but always with the reference, ok? I hope you do not mind but if by chance you do not like, let me know that I delete, ok?

I'm sorry but I do not speak English so I'm using Google Translation.

Congratulations your work is lovely.

Emma...I visit your blog all the time and never thank you for the great content. You're one of my handful of daily must-reads. So thanks! Amazing how the furnishings/rugs are able to warm up this concrete home. Just beautiful.

Happy new year!

Hög "sukta faktor" här. Pluspoäng till paret som vågade sig på att göra ett hem av en bunker...

It's so interesting how the bunker is both stark and delicate. I love all the details like the thin chairs and ladder for the bookshelf. Additions like <a href="http://www.modernmural.com">wall art</a> always add warmth to a room.

Its cool when people do things like this. Did u see the people who turned a container in to a home? They folded the side down so u could see straight in.

But then again, I lived in a container like that once in Australia, and it was so hot and as soon as someone opened the door, it felt lika an earthquake.

How can one physically turn a bunker (which is buried) into a penthouse (which is on top of a high building)?

Hello,

I like it, it is very stylish, but nothing for me to live in. I need it a bit warmer in colours. But it looks great.

Hi Emma

Just popping back to say that I'm off to Berlin in a few weeks and I'm visiting this bunker. The owners have a massive private art collection and you can go on guided tours at the weekend. Exciting. Check it out: http://www.sammlung-boros.de/index.php?id=2711&L=1
