Sign Kommunikation, Frankfurt am Main, Interior Design

2017, Frankfurt am Main, Germany

For the new offices of graphic design agency Sign Kommunikation, an industrial building was converted in the east of Frankfurt. PHILIPP MAINZER OFFICE FOR ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN redesigned the 430 sqm space to accommodate an open-plan office with meeting rooms, kitchen, archive and a small studio.

Retaining the industrial charm of the building, the generous interior was completely gutted to realise a bright and spacious layout. An inserted wall clad with walnut veneer creates a warm highlight in the otherwise reduced design concept and separates the work desks visually and acoustically from a presentation area as well as the remaining rooms. Furniture in solid oak juxtaposes the white walls and flooring in light tones, presenting an intriguing contrast.

Sign Kommunikation, Frankfurt am Main, Interior Design

2007, Frankfurt am Main, Germany

Commissioned to convert the interior of an old steam cooling station nestled on the banks of the Main river in Frankfurt into new offices for the graphic agency Sign Kommunikation. With its dark brick façade and loophole-like windows framed by red and white folding shutters, an office layout was conceived based on generous and natural use of space, while specifying varying materials as exposed concrete and walnut to create masterful contrasts. The centre of the building is a ten-meter (thirty feet) high concrete entrance hall whilst its true centrepiece is an atmosphere created especially for the needs of creative minds, which is at once equally conducive to individual contemplation, communication and teamwork. Services provided included all planning phases (planning phases 1-9) and implementation of all furniture.
