Make a new layout work in daily life
Before planning a partition, we discuss circulation, door openings and the furniture that will occupy the room. A plan showing what currently gets in your way is more useful than an inspiration image alone.

Painting in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg
Refreshing a shop in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg does not necessarily mean replacing its fittings. Mark counters, shelving and surfaces you want to keep so protection, access and painting preparation are included in the intended scope.
Before work starts
Let’s check the details that could hold up your renovation
Access, existing materials and rooms you still need to use can change the order of work. Tell us about your property so we can plan around it.
Prepare for work in an occupied building
Tell us whether rooms will remain occupied and which shared routes need to stay clear. Work areas, material storage and coordination with building management should be discussed before strip-out begins.
Plan the fit-out and furnishings together
For a shop or studio, the counter, workstations and storage help determine the layout. If fittings are already ordered, we need their dimensions and delivery details to coordinate the work.

Get the important decisions out of the way early
Have the condition of the surfaces assessed
Old coatings, cracks and varying absorbency can affect the final appearance. The right preparation depends on existing conditions and the planned coating system.
Light reveals differences
Large windows and raking light reveal unevenness particularly clearly. We discuss expectations for smoothness and appearance before starting and describe them in the scope.
Consider colour in the room
A colour looks different depending on daylight, lighting and adjacent materials. Sample areas can help you assess the choice in the actual room.
What to send us
Describe the condition and desired result. Whether rooms are empty or furnished affects protection and workflow. Required trade authorisations must be clarified before commissioning.
What affects the quote
Area, substrate condition, desired finish, number of stages and material system determine the work. Ceiling height and furnishings may require additional steps.
Your questions
Questions about your Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg project
Anything else on your mind?
Write to us.
Why is a coat of paint sometimes not enough?
Stains, cracks and uneven substrates do not automatically disappear under new paint. Cleaning, repairs, filling or other preparation may be needed depending on the condition.
Does Albahri carry out all painting work directly?
The painting work included and the appropriately authorised specialist contractor are agreed beforehand and recorded in the quotation.
Can I enquire about changing the layout only?
Yes. Explain what the current layout prevents you from doing and whether doors, ceilings or finishes also need changing. An existing element cannot be judged removable from a floor-plan image alone.
Can existing fitted items stay during the work?
This can often be considered in the plan, subject to their condition and the access needed for the work. Mark the items you want to retain on your photos.
