Kaffee, headquarters, Germany

One of Germany’s most beloved coffee brewing companies, Kaffee, has just moved into their curvy new 106,000 square foot headquarters. 3Deluxe, the visionaries behind the architecture and design of the project, wanted to combine the effect of a striking sculptural architecture with the functionality of commercial workplace needs for 300 employees. The result of this idea manifested into a 4-story, asymmetrical, form-flowing layered structure.

Every morning, employees are greeted with a drive through coffee shop, giving the people of the company a moment to experience the products of their company on a daily basis.



Asymmetrically curved facade bands connect all the buildings and flow together, you would never guess there is actually an orthogonal grid of the underlying concrete frame.


The interiors follow in suit with the exteriors; form flowing. The walls undulate to become seating and desks, the floors pop up to create benches, and the walls break open to create shelves and lighting.



Ultimately, the team at Kaffee wanted the expressive architecture of the new headquarters to be established as a fundamental part of the company’s branding, because competence and innovative spirit is their mantra.

Schrannenhalle marketplace by Oliv Architekten Ingenieure, Munich

http://retaildesignblog.net/2012/05/03/schrannenhalle-marketplace-by-oliv-architekten-ingenieure-munich/
With a unique concept consisting of a mixture of retail business and gastronomy, the new Schrannen Halle in Munich breaks new ground. Customers can now move freely around the different market stalls, thus experiencing a new product presentation.
The challenge was to develop an overall concept in which the wares occupied the foreground and the charm of the hall remained a great experience.



Materials and colors are restrained, emphasizing the natural and offering perfect surroundings for the wares. Oak and nero assolutostand for naturalness, honesty, and continuity, and clear shapes and lines determine the image. This results in a coherent overall picture, and the hall appears to have been designed as a single unit.



The materials retain their natural character: oak, brushed and oiled, oxidized steel – matt coated or oiled, optical points of light created by the use of white tiles, as well as uniform dark slate boards for price and product information.

Designed by Oliv Architekten Ingenieure

Jürgen Mayer Completes New Berlin Residential Building

J. Mayer H. has recently completed their new residential building, dubbed JOH3, in downtown Berlin. Located in Johannisstraße in Mitte near Museum Island and Friedrichstrasse, the building is characterized by an undulating striated facade that constitutes a vertical landscape of surface and shadow and which, according to the architect, hints at the gradated garden courtyard within. The design draws on the city’s typical housing typology, with an aggregation of units stacked to a modest height that surrounds an interior green court abutting the wall with the neighboring building. Following the same model, the ground floor has been sanctioned for commercial use, demarcated by the larger and more expressive voids in the slatted facade.

The elevation’s whimsical organization is less haphazard and meandering as initially appears, its ostensibly arbitrary pattern underlying the variability of the apartments and breadth of housing options within. Each of the units corresponds to a different floor plan and sectional changes that yields a diverse collection of spaces. All the apartments are oriented along a southwest axis with views out to the city and inwardly towards the courtyard creating a visual link from the private to public realms. Penthouses and other larger units open onto the historic Friedrichstadt district, while condominiums are organized vertically in multi-story units, complete with private gardens.

Town Hall Square Solingen, Germany

In 1993 the city council of Solingen, an industrial town in central Germany, decided to merge all the municipal services administration offices in one new building. In this context it was decided to create a new quarter, composed of the municipal buildings, housing, shops, gastronomy and offices. To receive innovative solutions for a new kind of municipal district the city of Solingen advertised an architectural / landscape architectural competition.via
The winning design defines the whole area as an urban landscape, a perceptibly continuous public space. The concept is characterized by an intense interaction of architecture and open space. So the Town Hall Square becomes an urban living room, the connecting access road turns into a linear pocket park and the courtyards into public gardens. For the designers the objective was to create the town hall district as an open space for all citizens, a place where people meet and spend their time. A network of squares and promenades connects the scheme to the surrounding.
To build a coherent area, a pattern of black and white lines traces the whole public open space. Like a marquetry, a connecting concrete carpet integrates various functional elements and provides zones with different characters and uses. The entrance to the new quarter is formed by a wide square. Its design is inspired by the movement of people. Along the edge it offers enough space for walking, seating and events. In the centre three huge, organically shaped benches along with a group of flowering trees (Sophora japonica, Japanese Pagodatree) establish an area to pause and communicate. Four courtyards within the quarter are a counterpart to this open, lively square. The courtyards are arranged as abstract gardens, as green, quiet places. Here the black and white pavement is transformed into strips of gravel, perennials, bulbs and grasses. Wooden platforms serve as seats and contain the ventilation of the underground parking. The centre of the Town Hall Square is designed as a linear pocket park: Two footpaths frame a mounded grass strip, planted with multi-stem cherry trees (Prunus × yedoensis, Yoshino Cherry). The park provides areas for playing and relaxation, it acts as a green boulevard and links all parts of the project.Landscape Architecture: scape Landschaftsarchitekten, Düsseldorf, Germany

The Museum of BMW In Munich

Munich is the home of BMW. Here is the headquarters of the company and a museum nearby that shows all the history of the brand.

The museum consists of two buildings. In the first there are exhibited modern models and visiting there is free.

In many cars you may sit, touch a wheel, change gears, listen to music...

You may sit on the sofa, lokk through a magazine...

BMW Z4. Maximum speed - 251km/h. Acceleration up to 100km/h for 4.8 seconds.

Inside the building some strange robots are moving, politely going round people.

The second and the main building of the museum. The main part of the exposition is located here. To enter students have to pay 6 euro, adults - 12 euros.

Probably this museum will be interesting not only for those who knows something about BMW and likes cars...

These bikes are kept on some tiers and in chronological order.

Engines. The history of the company began from aero-engines. Then went bikes and later - cars.

The hall telling about the history of the company. Over each book there hang speakers to provide comments for each page being watched by a person.

The huge table with touch surface. Along the table there is a line with dates, and along the edges - references to various models, events, interesting facts. Each reference will open something interesting. 

The hall presenting luxury models of various years.
