Flughafenbeck Steiner Höngg

After successful renovations at Zurich Airport in 2019 and 2020, pfeffermit 2022 has expanded the first branch of the new design line on city territory. In a village setting in Höngg, the bakery is a popular place to go 365 days a year for residents. The last renovation was 11 years ago.

It quickly became clear that the main counter would be moved and find a new place symmetrically behind the entrance door. Attention was paid to hiding the new piping for refrigeration and sanitary facilities in the basement in order to keep the sales area free of visible technology. In addition, a separate delivery access was desired.

Pfeffermint was able to convince the client to remove the suspended ceiling and thus gain valuable room volume. At the same time, it was possible to expose the valuable concrete look. The choice of light floor and ceiling colors brightens the entire space considerably and provides a perfect framework for the design in between. The light-colored seamless floor is nicely aggregated by Swiss pebbles.

As the main design element here, pfeffermint chose lengthy, dark green wall tiles that run throughout the space and whose hue is repeated in a lighter shade on the walls. The work area feature a light gray color scheme. The bread rack in ash wood functions as a brand-strengthening design element across all locations. In this store, pfeffermint also used the ash wood in slats that hide the view from the outside into the spacious work area.

During the renovation work, a vintage Citroën HY in front of the branch and in the look of the Steiner Flughafebeck continued to provide customers with bakery products.
