Berlin’s Michelberger Hotel has been revamped by London-based Johnathan Tuckey Design and Danish architect Sigurd Larsen. Opened in 2009 in the shell of a former lighting factory, the hotel now stands as a collection of elegantly restrained spaces with earthy tones that are warm and welcoming.
Johnathan Tuckey Design’s scheme focuses on the 23 additional rooms for the hotel, while Sigurd Larsen worked on the lobby. The rooms have an undeniable sense of familiarity that seems to tap into our collective memory. A palette of warm, simple, natural materials combine to create spaces that feel less like hotel rooms and more like home.
The architect’s intended to layer materials with a domestic feel over the
Michelberger’s existing features, leaving the original beams and enormous windows exposed. New elements are interwoven with the old, creating a space that speaks to the past and future simultaneously.
