The eight story IZB Residence creates a significant center of the Campus Martinsried and through its organic shapes it becomes a distinctive landmark.
“It was our aspiration to generate tension between organic, floating shapes and dynamic flow architectural language. At the same time a certain degree of harmony and well-being”, explains Jürgen Stark.
Architecture
The hotel stands up as a solitaire within the surrounding of the Innovation Center for Biotechnology.
The first two floors conclude the existing square and create an urban character.
The glazed, inviting edge of the building, embedding the main entrance, creates an axes to the West II complex at the same time.
The unitized façade is covered by an additional white aluminum skin. External blinds could be avoided by solar control glass and decentralized A/C. Curtains and blinds allow for individual use in each room.
The dynamic and distance between the floating and curved skin and the glazing behind creates a strong three dimensional appearance. The depth and layout of the façade cut outs implement a comfortable feeling in the rooms.
Interior Design
The dynamic, floating structure of the façade continues throughout the interior of the individual rooms as a multi-functional feature including desk, lounger and dressing table. The rooms appear more generous by the open character of the bathrooms.
The high end standards in technical features as well as design makes each and every room to an oasis of comfort for communication, business activity or just for relaxation.
The ground floor offers exciting views between restaurant, lobby and the external surrounding. A distinctive, innovative lighting system emphasizes the atmosphere.
Small areas and spacious rooms create a feeling of tension.
The dynamics and the floating spaces within the plan connect the individual purposes in a very harmonic way, which gives the open space a high level of wellbeing.
The sophisticated color scheme from black, grey to white achieves an elegant ambiance. From the basement with dark tones ascending to the brilliant white faculty club on the top floor.
The mixture of extravagant architecture, modern interior and innovative lighting design creates an exquisite atmosphere promoting communication and appealing ambiance.
The first floor offers an additional gym for work out.
The faculty club with its floor to ceiling glazing on the seventh floor is the highlight of the building. An exclusive 170m² spacious clubroom offers a stunning golden, metal bar. It provides cozy sofas for intimate communication, a private dining area and club chairs in front of a fireplace.
The terrace extends the space and presents a breathtaking view to the Alps of Bavaria.
