Entering the Boros residence surpasses any archetypal ‘home visit’ one might expect. As a former Nazi air raid shelter erected in 1942 in central Berlin, it is a home like no other. Its heavy open doors welcome visitors down a series of interconnected bare concrete corridors. Bullet holes from the Second World War bear witness

Martin Carvajal

After sharing countless Cortado breaks in Soho in the past, we spontaneously decided to transfer our regular afternoon meetings to Martin’s apartment in Williamsburg.
