OSB meets International Klein Blue

Finding a Berlin apartment is like hunting for Waldo… but I got lucky! The place was perfect—clean, bright, great location, amazing roommate,...

The only challenges were the narrowness, and the absence of a living room and working space.

Solution? Building my own furniture! Using cheap but solid OSB and the beautiful energy of International Klein Blue, I created a space that’s cozy, private, and functional—all in less than a week and for cheaper than the equivalent furniture from Ikea.

Château Momo

Old house,

New life.

One stone at a time.

The Gardens of Château Momo: Part 2 - Planting

We are making the transition from design to real life: we continue the Château Momo gardens project by planting fruit trees, berry shrubs, and fragrant climbing roses.

The Gardens of Château Momo: Part 1 - Inspiration & design

We are setting the stage for transforming a bare walled space into a multi-purpose garden.

The garden(s) will be organized around three themes: movement, nourishment, and feelings.

Transforming a collapsed shed into the Garden of Gains

What was once a crumbling stone building (the remnants of an centuries-old animal shelter) is now taking shape as a new garden space.

After uncovering hidden stone floors beneath meters of rubble, we built a sturdy wooden structure that will support our climbing roses and the CALIRINGS.

With family, friends, and a lot of elbow grease, the Garden of Gains is coming alive…

Fresh Air: Peeling back layers of History to heal the house

This is a picture of me, getting ready to clean the house. It was dirty, dusty, and, even worse, full of mold from decades of humidity. The house truly needed urgent care: the walls, ceilings, and wood beams were all rotten. Everything needed to be taken out and the ventilation pathways reopened, in order to let the house heal.

We immediately opened up the centuries-old ventilation funnels, before tackling the dirty work.

Layer by layer, we removed the damaged parts to come back to a healthy structure.
