PROJECT SYNOPSIS

The Munich-based architects Dannheimer & Joos received the German Architecture Award 2013 for 2012 completed new headquarters for the Kulturstiftung des Bundes in Halle (Saale). Together with Timan Joos and Alexander Fahrenholtz, President of the Kulturstiftung, smow Leipzig contributed to the design and supply of furnishings. Throughout the 950 m² space a combination of design classics, Vitra system furniture and intelligent acoustic solutions created modern workplaces, think-tanks and conference rooms. Classic offices with fixed walls were deliberately omitted. At the request of the client, some of the Kulturstiftung's own furniture was integrated, e.g. original armchairs by Erich Dieckmann or Barcelona armchair and ottomann by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.
