This colorful apartment packs a big punch in a small footprint.

Modern home with Living Room, Chair, Bench, Coffee Tables, Shelves, and Concrete Floor. Architect Ester Bruzkus of Bruzkus Batek redesigned a compact apartment in Berlin to serve as her home. The previous layout had two bedrooms and one bathroom, but Bruzkus created an open-plan arrangement with only one bedroom to free up space. A folding wall can be pulled out for privacy. Custom furniture joins pieces by Charles and Ray Eames for Herman Miller and Gervasoni. The bathroom is enclosed within the black cube, which can be entered from either the bedroom side or the living room side. The paintings are by Berlin-based artist Niki Elbe.

Modern home with Kitchen, Concrete Floor, Rug Floor, Pendant Lighting, Marble Backsplashe, Wood Cabinet, and Engineered Quartz Counter. By using color, wood, and polished concrete floors, this apartment in Berlin is full of personality. In the kitchen, polished statuario marble covers both the island's countertop and the backsplash in the custom kitchen cabinet block. PSLAB designed the light fixtures, and the island has open shelving incorporated into it for easy access to cookbooks and other reading material.

Modern home with Dining Room, Table, and Chair. A polished concrete floor was selected for its durability. Using a design move inspired by Japanese architecture, Bruzkus introduced a change in height to help separate the sleeping area from the living area.

Modern home with Bath Room, Pendant Lighting, Marble Wall, Wall Mount Sink, Corner Shower, and Pedestal Sink. In a bathroom otherwise dominated by the neutral tones of Statuario marble, a powder-pink wall of cabinetry adds a colorful contrast—and creates ample storage to boot.
