Once passengers have reached the “eye”, which is literally a door shaped like a pupil that opens to provide access, they are invited to experience the comforts of every imaginable travel amenity from a fully stocked bar to a Light Energy Cabin intended for battery recharging, as well as complimentary food, computer workstations and business services. The ambiance is relaxing and aesthetically pleasing to the tired traveler’s eye, no pun intended, with an all-white décor, colorful sitting areas and giant organic shapes mixed in with well-chosen design classics to set the mood. <br /><br />As Privium claims, “Life’s not about the destination. It’s about the journey”. And this journey involves a stop at the lounge.....<a href="http://www.architecturenewsplus.com/projects/9"><b>more</b></a>

Fabbrica struck us as the most convenient name for this new Italian restaurant.<br />Fabbrica meaning factory in Italian, we envisioned the canteen of a very special factory: a very romantic factory where pleasure is produced for guests.<br />Like in the canteen of a factory you will find long tables and benches at Fabbrica, but than colored in Italian ice-cream shop style colors: pink and pistachio green.<br />The oven is placed in a huge tank, covered with italian mosaic. A large wall composed of crane elements is used to store wood to fire the oven.<br />Every detail combines industrial sturdiness with soft colors or decorative elements. We chose not to intervene with the authentic industrial character of this nineteenth century warehouse so we left all the structures in original state.<br />The walls for example are left intact, in several places large glass panels were placed in front of them covered with Italian wallpaper patterns. The result is that the patterns seem to float in front of the wall in a complex game of reflections.<br />Lovers get to sit in a train structure that floats in the center of the space. The logo of Fabbrica is based on a font in which the point on the i resembles the beautiful shape of a hand made pizza, but one can also see a full moon, as it enlightens Fabbrica at night. <br /><br /><br />Photography<br />Daniel Nicolas <br /><br /><span class="orange">Interior and identity design by <a href="http://tjep./"><i><b>Tjep.</b></i></a></span>

The complex consists of three parts of the building, the flat atrium, connecting the central block and the 23geschossigen skyscraper. The central building is located along the upper road, separating it from Lindau Rothschild Park. At the upper Lindau is a spacious driveway, on reaching the main entrance. From the main entrance that opens into the atrium or via a lift system in the floors of the intermediary. This situation is to receive in connection with the newly created private banking division, which will occur on the ground and 1st floor of the central building, to be reorganized and made more.<br />In future, to move into the renovated office area and meeting rooms, and held small receptions and events at a high level. Optionally, this area expanded to include the event parkseitige terrace.<br /><br /><b>Design approach:</b><br />The newly designed access situation is to function as a generous reception and distribution area, without disturbing installations. A transparent porch, the visitor reaches the customer or in the open-plan reception area. Today's uninviting security gate will be replaced by a light reception desk. This bar not only meets the functional criteria necessary but is also physically very important. It connects and manages the reception area in the new "private banking hall. In the private banking sector is from the reception desk open a customer switch.<br />Ceiling glazing are the climatic barrier between the entrance and the atrium hall and entrance hall and the new "private banking hall. A series of floor to ceiling vertical blinds with Glaszwischenfeldern creates the geographical limits of the new clients in private banking hall. The vertical wood slats and divide the space between the separate meeting rooms and the hall. Like a second inner skin, they provide the necessary functional separation to close but spatially. This ensures that the desired relation between interior and exterior preserved. This idea is strengthened by the more upstream event parkseitig terrace. This can take place in the summer of customer events.<br />The terrace is part of the newly designed Rothschild Park. The facade in this area can be opened a large area. The banking hall itself serves as a prestigious reception and waiting area. A large spiral staircase, like a sculpture, connects the ground floor with the 1st floor, which houses most of the consultancies. They too should be restructured and adapted to the architectural appearance. The corridor walls are designed as a glass timber stud walls. The room walls are designed as plasterboard walls with integrated glass skylights. The central zone is widened and next to the spiral staircase are two more make it round gallery openings for the spatial link between the ground floor and 1st floor. Thus the two levels are not only functional but also spatially linked. In the basement of the existing security cameras is being remodeled. The private individual passes through the Paternoster (elevator) from the ground floor in the 1.Untergeschoss. Here he met a representative entrance hall, which is upstream of the actual vault. The safe itself is replaced by a new in the lockers, the corresponding bank, interior concept are embedded.<br /><br /><b>Materials:</b><br />The external materials used preserved in character and color.<br />In developing high-quality materials are used. The entrance is complemented by a porch. The soil is consistently kept in dark stone. The reception desk is made of a light lacquer surface and leads to the foyer in the customer area of "private banking on." The central service area will be taken through floor to ceiling slats of wood, behind which are the meeting rooms and offices. Carpet Islands, the loosely stacked on the floor, define the individual sitting areas. They can be removed if necessary, for example for reception.<br />The space-shaping power of light plays a very special significance. Three large, round ceiling penetrations shall geschossübergreifenden with light installations for an intimate and balanced lighting situation. Down Lights emphasize height and rhythm of the blades and thus their importance for the room.<br /><br /><b>Conclusion:</b><br />In addition to the special importance of the place it is the interaction of man - light - space and matter, which will determine the effect of the new "private banking division.<br />Our design is expressed in its system - from the plan to the individual items inside - a formal simplicity in interior design and material.<br />The "private banking" services creates this new spatial relationships and connections between inside and outside. He linked and thereby underlines the importance of place.<br /><br />More at <a href="http://www.wittfoht-architekten.com/#/projects/">Wittfoht Architekten </a>and <a href="http://www.architonic.com/aisht/private-banking-zentrale-in-frankfurt/5100627">Architonic</a>

To accomplish this, <a href="http://www.makearch.com/">MAKE</a> utilized both sheet mdf (at floor + ceiling) and flexible mdf (where wall meets ceiling). The resulting forms, taking the same angle at the ceiling as the walls, create a louvered effect that terminates at the service area. Where tables/seating and the customer counter occurs, these rings take a more sinuous form, peeling away from the wall to provide flat usable surfaces while maintaining the overall aesthetic of the “ribs” where they occur. At the customer counter, the area below the peeled away “rib” receives a piece of laminated glass with a rich yellow color consistent with the family of yellows adjacent in the service area. Where the “rib” peels away from the wall to become a customer table, the peeled away “rib” floats. Upon leaving the customer counter and turning around, the customer is aware of the illuminated color spectrum emerging from behind the high gloss white rings, ranging from a rich yellow to a deep red at the exterior storefront. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.makearch.com/">MAKE</a> was also responsible for the Peach House logo and menu design. The logo, a series of rectangular rings one inside the other by way of forced perspective, was designed to be in concert and referential to the interior design, thus furthering the idea of total environment package.<br /><br />Design team: Project Designers: Jess Mullen-Carey + Bill Beauter Electrical Engineer: Jacob Chan of MDC Engineers Glazing Consultant: Philip Vourvoulis of GlasPro Photography: John Edward Linden<br /><br />Client: Charlene Chiu + Kai Liang<br /><a href="http://www.architonic.com/aisht/peach-house-restaurant/5100649">Via</a>
