About Residential Building Viesmīlības interjera dizains

Dzīvojamā ēka ir interjera dizaina projekts 17. gadsimta ēkai pie ezera promenādes Īberlingenā, Vācijā. Ēkā kopš 1957. gada darbojas restorāns. Renovācijas laikā tika saglabāta ēkas vēsture un pielietotas ilgtspējīgas metodes. Esošās nesošās konstrukcijas tika atjaunotas, un vēsturiskajām mēbelēm tika piešķirta jauna funkcija. Interjerā tika integrēti veci koka sijas un simboliskas zīmes. Zilā toņi bāra zonā atspoguļo ezera krāsas, bet palielinātie logi paver plašus skatus uz ūdeni.
