Kofmehl Stairs Outdoor

Kofmehl Stairs Outdoor

Doors, radiators and other elements are kept in shades similar to the floor.Concise markings with white majuscules in typical Kofmehl-graphics facilitate orientation. The simple finishing which left space for improvisation combines the dark blue-red-yellow shade of the steel with the familiar colours of the original Kofmehl. Thanks to a manageable complexity, it was possible to independently build the interior structure that was inspired by the original building.

The revival of the old aura is made possible by the transfer of colouring and surface finish as well as by symbolic gestures such as the inscription that is reminiscent of catholic relic cult. This transfer has been successful.

On the one hand, it was possible to credibly integrate elements and themes of the old house into the new structure. On the other hand, the new users benefited from a relinquishing of control and were able to be part of the authorship.The house has acquired a life of its own shortly after the opening photo shoot.
