Office with Show Kitchen

On the penthouse level of the office, the large, free-standing kitchen block replaces the conference table and becomes a meeting point for employees and guests.

Black and White Prelude

The entry of the guest suites features a strong black and white graphic that covers the whole surface of the wall.

Ceiling with Scales

The fitness area with white parquet, silver bar alcove and blue raffia wallpaper looks cool but still homely. The vaulted, light silver scale structure of the ceiling complements the rather cool color mood.

Opulent Office

Lush structures and graphics determine the impressive space of the private office. Shades of saffron yellow over sandgold and a gray background give the room a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Airspace as Space of Light

In the air space above the passage to the terrace on the first floor, six lights by Tom Dixon float like celestial bodies under a tinted mirror.

Noir Saint Laurent

The natural stone basins in the guest bathrooms are made of Noir Saint Laurent, a natural stone that is particularly decorative thanks to its strong contrasts between black, gold and soft gray.

Living Art:

The metallic bench in the large dressing room is reminiscent of a living mythical creature with steel scales and flowing metal skin.

Tunnel as a Garden Gate

Bringing in the trees was a logistical masterpiece for the gardeners. Only a small tunnel under the house was available for delivery of the 8 meter high trees.

Acer Japonicum

A beautiful Japanese maple is eye-catching and a destination. Several stepped levels structure the garden and put the sculptural tree on a pedestal.

Cloud Miracle

The Sky Lounge on level 36 of the Cologne Tower in the Mediapark enchants with a delicate, airy and transparent ceiling installation that hovers like a cloud over the large conference table.

WonderBar

Our bar at a dizzy height above Cologne is surrounded by vastness and clouds – real and invented – our floating layers of translucent acrylic give the impression of being right in the sky.

Stone Snail

In the entrance area we laid a large snail made of shell limestone, travertine and Patagonia – a homage to the sea visible on the horizon.

Sunny Yellow Relaxation Zone

In the fireplace room, the golden yellow cuddly sofa competes with the sunny yellow of the Mallorcan light.

Serge Mouille in the Office

The desk in the client’s office is crowned by a sculptural ceiling light by Serge Mouille.

Water Blue – Sage Green – Caribbean Turquoise

The spa is a blue and green creation contrasted with gold and bronze accents.

The stairs are crowned with a bronze mirror ceiling on the upper floor. Five gently, luminescent rings float weightless underneath.

Rhombus with Lightbulb

The golden diamond wallpaper in the foyer of the Wallstraße residential building in Berlin Mitte is graphically at least as convincing as real ceiling panels. Mirrored lightbulbs at the crossing points of the diamonds also make the ceiling shine and increase the three-dimensional effect of the wallpaper.

Coral Red…

..is the graphical contrast to the golden ceiling. The association with this wallpaper was by no means a coral reef, but the macro shot of a leaf – a little bit of nature in an otherwise very urban environment.
