Here’s a restoration of a window that had been badly damaged by a broken gutter and the splash-back it caused:

Shutters for a housing estate in Berlin-Steglitz – part 1
The first batch of shutters for the Beamten-Wohnungs-Verein zu Berlin housing cooperative in Steglitz. The outside of the six buildings is being completely renovated and beautifully restored. Lovely colours on all the buildings, very finely matched, and they radiate a lot of warmth.
Heavy-duty machine cabinet
This heavy-duty machine bench can take a load of around a tonne and was built entirely from leftover materials. The mortiser with its cast-iron table, which has found a home on it, isn’t quite that heavy, mind you. The four 60cm-deep drawers can each be loaded with 50kg too. So plenty of room for lots […]
Lattice fence to listed-building requirements
The Jägerzaun-style lattice fence built here was made by us to set requirements. (slat thickness, diamond dimensions, spacing, post design etc.) If you have similar requirements to meet, or simply have special wishes, we’d be glad to hear from you. We’ll also be replacing the gates and many other elements, more pictures to follow. 45° […]
Shutters for period apartment buildings in Berlin – part 1
In Berlin, the Beamten-Wohnungs-Verein zu Berlin housing cooperative is currently renovating some beautiful apartment buildings with a great deal of effort and attention to detail. As part of the renovation, we’re making some of the shutters. Here’s the gable end of one of the buildings. More shutters will follow here later. On the right you […]
huge built-in wardrobe
A customer in Berlin wanted plenty of space and storage. To go with his furnishings, the fronts were to be limed oak, which we achieved here with veneered chipboard and ABS edging.
large built-in hallway cupboard
The brief was a hallway cupboard that almost disappears into the wall. Plus plenty of storage and a compartment for a 2.6m ladder. Built with white veneered chipboard, stainless steel handles and scribed to the wall. The cupboard is 3.28m high.
Restoring shutters
We restored these shutters for customers in Berlin-Steglitz. Thanks to a sound basic construction, only the surface had opened up through swelling and wear, so with a lot of sanding, a bit of filling and of course several fresh coats of paint, the shutters are now doing their job in the customer’s chosen colour. In […]
Sanding the floorboards in a kitchen
These pine floorboards are now shining in new beauty. They were very grey and in places dirty and worn from normal kitchen use. The kitchen units were to stay in place while we worked. For the oil finish, we took our cue from another room in the house. I think the result speaks for itself.
Tree climbing felling of a 15m pine
This roughly 15m pine had to go. As it stood in a very awkward spot, a climbing felling was needed. The effort was rewarded with a lovely view over Glienicke.
Sideboard for the phone
Something small for a change: the job was to hide the router, phone and aerial.
Filing cabinet for a Berlin law firm
A Berlin law firm needed considerably more space for special archive boxes. It’s a simple, purpose-built construction made from veneered furniture board.
Lattice fence and gates renewed
Along with the fence panels and the gates, the wooden posts also became steel posts. At the customer’s request, a special stop and strike plate was made. The already pressure-treated fence will be colour-matched later on.

Roofing of a multi-purpose building with Decra metal sheeting
To match the house, this multi-purpose building got a Decra metal roof with black stone granulate. The verge was clad in slate.
