Baker's Shop and Cafe in Hamburg
Situated on the ground floor of an Art Nouveau building dating from 1905, the rooms of this baker's shop and cafe - which had been disfigured by numerous alterations in the past have been restored to their original character. The architectural concept sought to minimize changes to the historical substance and to integrate the additions in such a way as to create a harmonious whole. The restrained spatial design is distinguished by glass counter units and steel multifunctional shelving. The transparent facade affords visitors to the cafe direct visual contact with the street. A limited number of materials were used - maple, steel, stainless steel, stone and glass - and special attention was paid to their surface treatment.
