About Residential Building Hotellinduse sisearhitektuur

Elamu on sisearhitektuuriprojekt 17. sajandi hoonele Saksamaal Überlingenis järve promenaadil. Hoones on alates 1957. aastast tegutsenud restoran. Renoveerimine säilitab hoone ajaloo ja rakendab jätkusuutlikke meetodeid. Olemasolevad kandekonstruktsioonid taastati ning ajaloolisele mööblile leiti uus otstarve. Interjööri integreeriti vanad puittalad ja embleemid. Baariala sinised toonid peegeldavad järve värve, ning suurendatud aknad avavad avarad vaated veele.
