Amy Brandhorst’s apartment in an old piano factory brings sociable living to Berlin’s bright young things

- JULIET BENNING

For Amy Brandhorst, an enterprising young interior designer, Berlin has always had a strong pull. Brought up in London, Amy first fell in love with the city when she was a student on her exchange year. Upon graduating, she returned to embark on a career in property, which swiftly morphed into interior design services for her agency’s clients. ‘I’d learnt to speak German and I was attracted by the low cost of living and lifestyle well suited to artistic temperaments,’ says Amy. ‘If you’re a creative person and you work hard, you can get where you want to go.’
