I hollo upwards it's fourth dimension for a novel mini make-over episode, how virtually you?! This fourth dimension I idea we'd caput to Berlin as well as the awe-inspiring studio of here as well as here). The brainchild of creative duo Laura as well as Nora, this interview). Let's dive inwards as well as detect out how they transformed the outset flooring of a derelict warehouse into a stunning studio for cooking, nutrient styling, photography, workshops as well as events.
Oh as well as give cheers yous as well as thus much to the serial sponsor Builders Bay - an amazing online marketplace for builders, renovators as well as DIYers where yous tin purchase as well as sell surplus materials, architectural salvage as well as ex display stock! Perfect!
Our Food Stories started out 5 years agone from a pocket-size studio inwards the countryside, ane hr drive from Berlin. The tranquil setting was wonderful since it offset the stresses as well as strains of setting upwards a business, "It actually rescued us, since the outset years of edifice upwards our ain society convey been as well as thus stressful." However, the weblog became increasingly pop as well as they eventually grew out of it. "It made feel to await for somewhere closer to home, as well as thus inwards the summertime of 2015 nosotros started to await for a Studio inwards Berlin."
Since natural low-cal is a primal chemical gene inwards their photography, it was of import to detect a infinite with at to the lowest degree ane North facing window. Known every bit 'reflected light', due north low-cal is pop with artists since it bathes the dependent area inwards the same cool ambience throughout the solar daytime - giving artists as well as photographers greater command over their locomote (this has got me thinking virtually using the North facing windows inwards my habitation more!). The infinite would also bespeak a high ceiling to check their enormous tripod!
The yoke went to sentiment about other belongings which wasn't quite right. However, from the window they spotted a edifice 500 metres away as well as forthwith roughshod inwards beloved with the windows as well as the edifice which combined "nice as well as neat with former schoolhouse charm". They passed yesteryear on spec as well as constitute that the outset flooring was nonetheless empty as well as had the perfect low-cal (two north-facing windows) as well as height. Result!
"When nosotros saw the infinite for the outset fourth dimension nosotros simply could non believe it was nonetheless available to rent! The outset matter nosotros did was cheque the betoken of the range as well as the minute fourth dimension nosotros visited nosotros brought about flowers as well as did a lilliputian examination photograph shooting."
Despite the incredible shell, the infinite was inwards desperate bespeak of renovation. The walls were yellow, as well as about walls didn't fifty-fifty exist. It also had no bathroom.
Thankfully they would bespeak to do lilliputian inwards the way of renovating themselves.
"If yous rent a studio or apartment inwards FRG the landlord has to give it to yous inwards a practiced (renovated) condition. As a renter yous don't usually convey a large influence on the renovation, but luckily nosotros could create upwards one's remove heed on a lot of the details, which nosotros are rattling thankful for. "
The landlord prepped as well as painted the walls (white) and, at the asking of Laura as well as Nora, installed an incredible concrete floor.
The master copy viii metre high ceiling was something of a photographers dream but they were warned yesteryear the landlord that their heating pecker would endure astronomical if they kept it as well as a effect it was lowered yesteryear several metres.
"We would never convey lowered it, but the landlord told us that it would convey been impossible to continue the infinite warm inwards the wintertime because the roof has no insulation."
Overall though, the duo are delighted with the results of the renovation.
The yoke used article of furniture as well as lighting to separate the vast room into a serial of zones: "we created dissimilar corners, which permit us to create dissimilar laid upwards ups." But they were also keen to continue the infinite pared-back as well as clutter-free. "It’s rattling of import to convey a infinite that is non also packed, as well as thus when it gets messy during photograph shootings, yous nonetheless convey plenty space."
Being nutrient stylists as well as photographers, the kitchen was a major focus. The yoke spent a lot of fourth dimension thinking virtually which kitchen to install, inwards the destination settling on a kitchen from Frama. "It perfectly fits the industrial surroundings, nosotros are as well as thus inwards beloved with it!"
Despite the white finish, Laura as well as Nora are pleased that they tin run into the outline of the master copy brick wall. The lines / texture also aid to suspension upwards the empty expanse.
The yoke had costless reign to pigment about of the walls as well as used pigment from KABE Copenhagen to add together nuance as well as texture. "We simply chose yesteryear intuition which wall should larn which colour."
This mammoth tripod is ane of the reasons they needed a studio with such a high ceiling!
"The way nosotros select the trend of the interior comes naturally as well as is also form of indirectly dominated (in a practiced way) yesteryear the infinite itself, its aura as well as its architectural character."
"We beloved the mix of former as well as new! Our habitation inwards Berlin is to a greater extent than modern, with novel danish blueprint interiors, our habitation inwards the countryside to a greater extent than rustic, but also with a modern influence as well as our studio is form of a mix of both with industrial elements."
"Some of the vintage article of furniture is from Ebay as well as a lot of the former tables as well as lamps were bought from J&V as well as Urban Industrial."
"We are as well as thus grateful as well as happy to locomote inwards this wonderful space."

But the primal focus remains on the pairs passion for nutrient as well as thus I was dying to know if the girls had a favourite recipe!
