When weathly German businessman Christain Boros bought this old 1942 air raid bunker in Berlin, he knew it would be the perfect place to house both his expansive collection of contemporary and his family. He commissioned architects Realarchitektur to transform the space that consisted of strict symmetry and uniformity in all the spaces with created a general feeling of disorientation, and to turn them into space suitable for both living and displaying art.

The incredible space is open to the public by appointment, where you can view the collectors amazing works of art from the likes of  Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin.
