Engel & Völkers | Stuttgart
In November, the big opening of the newly designed Engel & Völkers shop took place. DITTEL | ARCHITEKTEN streamlined the 200. shop of the real estate company by the guidelines of the franchise company. Nevertheless we could set a course by designing in a modern way and by this means reaching a reinterpretation of the premises.
The modernized rooms´ concept is formed by focusing on the customer service. Being held bright and clear, the open interior concept makes the customer entering the shop in a casual way, offering the possibility of informing oneself easily by the presentation columns or leading first informal conversations.
The shop´s ground plan is used perfectly to full capacity. Focusing the creation of a calm appearance, nothing was left to chance. Lowered ceiling panels accentuate the particular work spaces. The corporate identity color red is the eye-catcher to the premises. The conspicuous light fixtures, which can be found all around the shop, are colored in this very paint. Likewise red, the shop´s highlight is the Engel & Völkers launch, which is completed by a small estaminet.
By playing with lights, molds and colors of corporate identity (CI-colors?) the exterior view certainly wasn´t neglected. Even in the darkness, an extensively glazed façade takes an impressive effect and attracts the passerby’s attention.
