Spanish practice Plantea Estudio has completed the interior of Acid bakery in Berlin, which features a palette of austere and functional materials chosen to echo its urban context.
Acid Berlin is located on a corner lot in the city's central Mitte district, with large ground-floor windows looking out onto Rosenthaler Strasse and Auguststrasse.

Having previously designed the bakery's original outlet in Madrid, Plantea Estudio opted for a similar pared-back style with nods to Mitte's gritty urban character.
The main materials used throughout the public areas include chestnut wall panelling and red Ferrés tiles, which contrast with the more austere sections finished in stainless steel and grey paint. The interior is reflective of Mitte's gritty urban character
"The aim was to achieve a frank and efficient German ambience and at the same time a temperate refuge, a Mediterranean 'nativity scene' in the harsh urban territory of Berlin's city centre," said the designers.
The premises are located on the ground floor of a residential building, with large wood-framed windows providing a visual connection to the streets outside.
