name: New Interior Apartment

location: Düsseldorf, Germany
What if your home could be completely taken apart and recycled when you move out? That’s the genius behind the Urselmann Interior Düsseldorf apartment, a 1939 home transformation in Germany engineered entirely around circular disassembly. The design team partnered with manufacturers so every single material can be returned and reprocessed later—achieving a net-negative carbon balance that makes green living look effortless!
Instead of permanent walls, this eco-friendly haven uses clever multi-tiered timber platforms and flowing perimeter curtains to create secret zones. Need a guest room or private bedroom? Just pull the heavy curved curtain around the elevated bed platform, and voilà—instant privacy! The timber platform even hides storage, a desk, and a cozy meditation nook beneath it.
Natural textures like cork, straw, wood, and seagrass fill the space, while vibrant color pops give it a bold, energetic personality inspired by architect Luis Barragán. A punchy Mexican Pink hallway flows seamlessly into cool green-blue living quarters detailed with glossy turquoise tiles and lush indoor plants.
The Urselmann Interior Düsseldorf apartment proves that sustainable design doesn’t have to feel clinical or boring—it can be colorful, super practical, and full of life. Could you see yourself living in a fully flexible, eco-circular home like this? Drop your thoughts in the comments below!
