About Residential Building የመስተንግዶ ውስጠኛ ንድፍ

የመኖሪያ ሕንፃ በጀርመን፣ ኡበርሊንገን በሚገኘው የሐይቅ ዳርቻ መንገድ ላይ ለሚገኝ የ17ኛው ክፍለ ዘመን ሕንፃ የተዘጋጀ የውስጥ ንድፍ ፕሮጀክት ነው። ሕንፃው ከ1957 ዓ.ም ጀምሮ ምግብ ቤትን አስተናግዷል። እድሳቱ የሕንፃውን ታሪክ በመጠበቅ ዘላቂነት ያላቸውን ዘዴዎች ተግባራዊ ያደርጋል። የነበሩት የድጋፍ አወቃቀሮች ተመልሰው ተሠርተዋል፣ እንዲሁም ታሪካዊ የቤት እቃዎች አዲስ አገልግሎት ተሰጥቷቸዋል። አሮጌ የእንጨት ምሰሶዎችና ምልክቶች ከውስጠኛው ንድፍ ጋር ተዋሕደዋል። በባር አካባቢ የሚታዩ የሰማያዊ ቀለም ድምጾች የሐይቁን ቀለማት የሚያንፀባርቁ ሲሆን፣ የተስፋፉ መስኮቶችም ወደ ውሃው ሰፊ እይታዎችን ይከፍታሉ።

The lakefront location was central to the design, with the lake flowing into the interior. This was achieved through a thoughtful choice of materials and colors, especially in the bar area, where shades of blue reflect the water’s hues. Floor to ceiling windows offer captivating views, strengthening the connection with the lake. In the seminar area and vacation apartments above, the sensation of floating above the water enhances the visual and emotional bond with the serene surroundings.
