Original in Berlin founder, Lars Triesch,  showcases his one-of-a-kind Ray Kappe home in Berlin

Tucked into the lush landscape of Kleinmachnow, just outside Berlin, Lars Triesch's California-inspired residence channels the spirit of mid-century modernism with effortless sophistication. Designed by the late, great Ray Kappe, the home seamlessly merges the warmth and openness of Southern California architecture with the serene beauty of the German countryside, creating a perfect reflection of Triesch's eye for timeless design.

Lars Triesch's passion for design began in his teenage years, sparked by his involvement in music. His fascination with California culture and architecture eventually led him to discover Ray Kappe's work, particularly after viewing the documentary Coast Modern. Deeply inspired, Triesch pursued the vision of creating a home in Berlin for his family that reflected Kappe's iconic style. Although Kappe passed away in 2019, his legacy lives on through his collaboration with Triesch, ultimately leading to the realization of this architectural marvel, making it the only Kappe home outside the United States.
