Minimal Details Designer: jonek + dressler architekten
Location: Bielefeld, Germany
The architects aimed to preserve the main visual identity of the building but minimize any detail. Part of the extensive energy-saving concept, as well as the aesthetic approach, is the integration of triple-glazed, openable windows with no visible frames from the outside. The entrance door is entirely flush-mounted and all functions such as the door communication, camera, letterbox and the doorhandle are totally integrated. → archinect.com Posted: 11/08/2010 digg | del.icio.us | stumble | email this
