PHILIPP MAINZER OFFICE FOR ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN

For the new offices of graphic design agency Sign Kommunikation, an industrial building was converted in the east of Frankfurt. PHILIPP MAINZER OFFICE FOR ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN redesigned the 430 sqm space to accommodate an open-plan office with meeting rooms, kitchen, archive and a small studio.

Retaining the industrial charm of the building, the generous interior was completely gutted to realise a bright and spacious layout. An inserted wall clad with walnut veneer creates a warm highlight in the otherwise reduced design concept and separates the work desks visually and acoustically from a presentation area as well as the remaining rooms. Furniture in solid oak juxtaposes the white walls and flooring in light tones, presenting an intriguing contrast.
