The Design

About Residential Building Diseño de interiores para hostelería

Residential Building es un proyecto de diseño de interiores para un edificio del siglo XVII situado en el paseo del lago de Überlingen, Alemania. El edificio alberga un restaurante desde 1957. La rehabilitación preserva la historia de la construcción y aplica métodos sostenibles. Se restauraron las estructuras portantes existentes y se dio un nuevo uso al mobiliario histórico. Antiguas vigas de madera e insignias se integraron en el interior. Los tonos azules de la zona del bar reflejan los colores del lago, y las ventanas ampliadas abren amplias vistas hacia el agua.
