About Residential Building Reka Bentuk Dalaman Hospitaliti

Bangunan Kediaman merupakan projek reka bentuk dalaman untuk sebuah bangunan abad ke-17 di tepi jalan tasik di Ueberlingen, Jerman. Bangunan ini telah menempatkan sebuah restoran sejak tahun 1957. Kerja pengubahsuaian ini memelihara sejarah struktur bangunan tersebut serta mengaplikasikan kaedah yang mampan. Struktur sokongan sedia ada telah dipulihkan dan perabot bersejarah diberikan fungsi baharu. Rasuk kayu lama dan lambang-lambang lama telah diintegrasikan ke dalam ruang dalaman. Warna kebiruan di kawasan bar mencerminkan warna tasik, manakala tingkap yang diperbesarkan membuka pandangan luas ke arah air.

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.
