Details
In a 2019-built corporate building of a leading metal processor in Fulda County, an unconventional residential unit emerged on the first floor. This business apartment and secondary residence for an entrepreneur offers hospitality and privacy. Originally designed as office space, it was transformed: adding a bathroom and extra room, creating new sight lines. The colour scheme includes varied textures and hues, complementing soft elements with custom acoustic features. Reflecting the owner's restrained extravagance, a successful entrepreneur in a male-dominated field, this apartment is a surprising gem within the corporate setting.
The Jury‘s Statement
The Business Apartment skillfully blends functionality with aesthetics. The thoughtful transformation from an original office to a comfortable retreat illustrates the versatility and adaptability of interior architecture. The contrasting use of raw concrete against refined furnishings highlights the understated elegance, embodied in a well-conceived color and material concept.
