Building
When a whole new quality emerges from established form. As close to the zeitgeist as the original

Condominiums
Designed that speaks to historical greatness – lovingly curated down to the smallest detail

NOVONO interior design studio has reinterpreted floor plans, restored textures and curated a selection of world-class appliqués, tastefully integrating rare items from a range of European regions and historical periods: old oak, terrazzo, brass, marble – sparing no effort to create an exceptional living experience.
“I study and continue to write the story of spaces – on an urban plane and with a sense of the iconic at its most elemental.”
Apartments
Exceptional, one-of-a-kind pieces that infuse classic aesthetics with postmodern elegance
Each of these apartments is characterized by its uniqueness – including in its matchless aesthetics. It all begins with substantial flooring: BROADLEAF oak parquet flooring in a chevron pattern means that no two pieces look the same; patinated VENTANO brass fittings adorn the doors; real stucco elements embellish the soaring ceilings; and Bauhaus-inspired LUXONOV switches gild on the walls.
Bathrooms with underfloor heating, ceramics from LAUFEN, and luxurious fixtures, either in hand-brushed brass from STUDIO ORE or in matte nickel from AXOR – in each case complementing Italian terrazzo or Calacatta marble.
In addition, all of the 2- to 4-room apartments have at least one balcony or terrace with floor-to-ceiling windows. Countless combinations from several design universe in absolute harmony. Without equal.

Studios
Intelligent room design in the style of a boutique hotel
Small footprint, high quality of life: for younger, temporary and more uncomplicated living, the designers of Claudius have given a lot of thought, pushed boundaries and upended conventions to create a cosmopolitan interior design with a classic atmosphere. Exceptionally practical and simply different.
In the process, they have redefined the status quo: the bathroom behind the bed, the kitchen right where the TV should normally be, or the front door on the terrace. The living room and kitchen area are connected without doors and yet still seem like different rooms.
Despite the minimalism, all studios have a balcony and are furnished to an exactingly high standard: with oak parquet flooring, Italian stoneware and designer fittings from Duravit. This is where living feels luxurious: like a small, upscale boutique hotel.

- Reminiscent of an Italian country house of the 19th century or the minimalist design of the 60s

Location
The true center of Berlin is a green and tranquil place – between high class and high life
Close to gently lapping waters, in direct dialogue with the multiple epicenters of the German capital: the Hansa Quarter is something of an invisible celebrity. West of the federal government and east of Charlottenburg, it occupies an area of interplay between global issues and entrenched bourgeoisie.
Major destinations such as the embassy district on Tiergartenstraße and Berlin’s main train station are all within very easy reach. Thanks to the district’s well-developed infrastructure, the zoo and Friedrichstraße merge into one meaningful neighborhood: your own.
Founded in 1874, the district represents the old center of Berlin. Today, quiet Claudiusstrasse, a street lined with discreet period buildings, is part of the historic neighborhood to the north of the modern architectural settlement. A place that lives and breathes history.
Encircled by the Spree River, nestled in the verdant greenery of the Tiergarten, flanked by Straße des 17. Juni, this is where life can be lived in almost complete seclusion – and yet still in the middle of it all: in the quiet eye of the big city.
