Vintage pieces from flea markets and antique shops meet clean, modern elements, creating an interior that is allowed to evolve over time. Because, as Martin says, "Life is a continuous process of growth – right up to the very end". And this is reflected not only in Martin's personal development, but also in his home.

"My earliest memories are of spending a lot of time in the garden." Martin's connection to nature is still evident today – in his interior design and his work. Large green plants are as much a part of the rooms as sculptural bouquets and floral patterns on textiles. They bring structure, movement, and an organic dimension to the architecture.

The dining area is designed to be both functional and a social hub. It's a place for working, eating, and spending time together. Retro-style furniture lends the room charm and a light, airy feel.

Chrome and glass meet bold colours and textile surfaces. This creates a captivating contrast that brings the interior to life. It's an interplay that is neither purely minimalist nor deliberately playful, but allows for both at the same time.

A few favourites and unusual combinations add personality and spatial depth. Martin isn't concerned with matching everything perfectly, but rather with surrounding himself with things that feel right.

Large French doors connect the different areas and give the apartment structure. They open up lines of sight and allow light to circulate freely.

The bedroom is deliberately more minimalist than the other rooms. Clean lines and a few select elements define the look, complemented by carefully chosen colour accents. A beautiful retreat!
