Old Pub is transformed into a modern, light and elegant Home - The Schluckspecht, a bar in the Friedenau district of Berlin, was a legendary local institution for more than 20 years. Here you can enjoy a cocktail, play a game of pool, or just chat with other people in the neighborhood. And then, suddenly, it was for sale on a real estate site online.
I recognize the bar right away, "says the architect Swen Burgheim. "Some of my friends used to work there." Burgheim just happened in search of the perfect space for a couple of Munich. "They really wanted a penthouse, but apartments on the ground floor are often much cheaper. And we saw real potential in space, "he adds. So instead of going up, they stayed.
Once the old bar was emptied, the space was divided into new areas, a subfloor was installed, and interesting lighting was designed. Now, space is a house style with a cool loft atmosphere.
