“MY VISION IS TO HARNESS THE
POWER AND BEAUTY OF WATER
FOR THE DIGITAL AGE.”
Michael Rauterkus
CEO
GROHE AGICONIC, INSPIRING AND DRIVEN BY DESIGN,OUR INNOVATIVE PRODUCTS MAKE GROHE THE
BRAND OF CHOICE FOR PROMINENT ARCHITECTS
AND CLIENTS AROUND THE WORLD.

Dear Reader
It gives me great pleasure to introduce the seventh
edition of our annual “Water. Intelligence. Enjoyment.”
publication, dedicated to highlighting iconicarchitecture projects from across the world.
As a truly global player, GROHE understands thatpeople take inspiration from their travels, and we areproud to have developed a portfolio that lets users
recreate these experiences in their own homes too.
From luxury products like our innovative
AquaSymphony, that lets consumers reinvent theexperience of a luxury spa in their very own bathrooms,
to our new range of highly desirable designer finishes,
GROHE is perfectly placed both to inspire and empower
our customers to enjoy water like never before.
You may have noticed that for this edition we havechanged the title to incorporate “intelligence”, and for
GROHE this is a key area for the years to come. At
GROHE our business has always been about enjoying
the tactile, physical joys of water, but we also recognisethat in the digital age part of our role is to harness
water’s natural power in new ways. Our latest
developments, GROHE Sense and GROHE Sense
Guard, promise peace of mind, for example, by alerting
homeowners to leaks, frozen pipes and water usage
issues direct to their phones. It’s all part of our mission
to detect and protect the home and find smarter ways
to manage water as part of an increasingly digital
lifestyle, a theme explored further by our Vice President
Design, Michael Seum (page 8).
In our recent history GROHE’s global reach has only
been enhanced by being part of the LIXIL family,
allowing us to combine centuries of Japanese bathingculture and technological know-how into our productportfolio. Already perfectly embodied in the recent
launch of the Sensia Arena shower toilet, for 2017 wewill be drawing on this expertise to add bathroom
ceramics to our range. Offering a truly holistic solution,
our quality ceramics will dovetail perfectly with ourexisting range of faucets, meaning design language
and functionality marry effortlessly for our customers.

Alongside digital, sustainability is a big buzzword in our
industry at the moment – but at GROHE this has always
been part of our DNA. Yes, we are constantly working
to create products that use water wisely, but beneaththat too is our deep commitment to durability andcraftsmanship which has been central to our brandfrom day one. Being recognised for these founding
principles is always gratifying, and so we are delighted
at the news that the German Government has recently
given us an award for Corporate Social Responsibility
this year. The award, in the ‘companies with more than
1,000 employees’ category, was personally presented
by the German Federal Minister of Labour and Social
Affairs and patron of the CSR prize, Andrea Nahles.

Created to honour outstanding examples of social
responsibility, and in a field including Unilever
Deutschland GmbH, Flughafen München GmbH and
Ford-Werke GmbH, winning this award comfirms
GROHE’s dedication to sustainabilty issues.
We hope that you will see these threads of sustainability,
innovation, quality and design excellence running
through all of the projects featured in this book.
Whether it is old-meets-new in a project like theCaixaForum in Madrid (page 50) or the infra-red faucets
we have installed at the German Football Museum(page 88), all of the buildings featured illustrate not justthe best in global design and architecture, but also thehighest standards of luxury and sustainability.
In these pages you’ll also find examples of our verylatest products already installed in some of the world’s
most desirable hotels, including at the Banyan Tree Spain Shanghai’s Westin Hotel. SmartControl has been themost successful product launch in GROHE’s history
and you can find out more about its key role in theWestin spa experience on page 172. And any water
lover is bound to feel a twinge of envy at the GROHESPA products included in the Masa Magayon
development in Costa Rica, built in the rainforest andinspired by water itself (page 138).
Within the walls of the Princess Margaret Lottery Show
home on page 144 you can see how GROHE Blue®
creates a real centrepiece for the kitchen. You don’t
have to be a lottery winner yourself to experience“unbottled water” that’s filtered, chilled and carbonatedwith the new GROHE Blue® Home - another innovation
we have recently launched to great acclaim.
Being founder sponsor of the World Architecture
Festival, we want to support the design community intheir endeavours to create some of the world’s mostoutstanding buildings. It was where we met Schmidt
Hammer Lassen Architects who were the category
winners for their exceptional mixed use building Malmö
Live (page 68).
Finally we also want to encourage interior designers
and architects in the hospitality industry to get involved
via a new global awards programme called AHEAD
which champions the very best of design. For more
information see the article by Matt Turner on page 12.
Looking over the astounding breadth of projects in thisbook, I hope you will find yourself inspired, informed
and excited about how architecture, design and water
itself are moving into the future. At GROHE we areproud to be at the forefront of this journey.

INSPIRED BY TRAVEL,INSTALLED AT HOME
Interview with Michael Seum, Vice
President Design at GROHE, on leading
the future of connected water experiences

This reference book celebrates the mind-broadening
pleasure of global travel – how it can inspire youwith ideas and feelings that stay with you long after
your trip has finished. This culture of travel is not
only making the world smaller, but also smarter, as
consumers demand digital solutions that keep themconnected wherever they are in the world. For
GROHE, being at the forefront of digital development
means giving our customers the gift of peace ofmind, whether they’re at home or away. In thisinterview our VP Design Michael Seum talks indepth about how GROHE is meeting this demandwith two exciting new products: GROHE Sense and
GROHE Sense Guard.
What was the inspiration behind the new GROHE
Sense family?
In this day and age people are travelling all over theworld and controlling their homes with a lot of
connected devices – for example we can turn on acamera and see what’s going on in our living room.
We can monitor many aspects of our homes, but thelast untapped frontier in the smart home is the areaof water safety. It’s a surprising statistic but you’re far
more likely to experience water damage in yourhome than you are damage through fire. The GROHE
brand is about the pure enjoyment of water. If you
can leave your home knowing you are comfortably
protected, with the power to be informed about andeven prevent leaks, you can enjoy life.

8

Can you explain the GROHE Sense family ?
There are two products – GROHE Sense and GROHE
Sense Guard. GROHE Sense is a cylindrical form
with an integrated ring of light. The design is intended
to work in any room where you want to monitor
humidity and temperature and you can put it in any
room where you use water, a bit like a smoke alarm.
It detects and alerts you (via an app and the product)
to any flooding, and can also tell you if there’s achange in the humidity and temperature of the room.
So for example if your heating has gone out or yourpipes might be in danger of freezing, you get an
instant alert. It can even alert multiple people, so that
if you’re away a trusted neighbour can react fast to
solve the issue, as GROHE Sense is not going to stop
the water by itself.
And how does GROHE Sense Guard differ?
The second product in the range, GROHE Sense
Guard, not only alerts you to these issues but also
allows you to switch your water off to prevent leaks
and damage remotely. It’s all Wi-Fi connected.
GROHE Sense Guard uses an algorithm to monitor
what’s going on in your plumbing system, to beable to sense a leak that’s behind a wall, even if
that’s just one or two drips a day. That’s the beautyof this ecosystem of products – we’re putting in
intelligent control but also monitoring so you can bealerted to problems before they become serious –and even track your water consumption.

went into the user experience, the app dynamics,
how you read and visualise the data. That is yourdaily touch point so that’s where your dailyinteraction is. The app is set up using rooms within
a house which is universally understandable andeasy to manage.
Did you have to think about future-proofing thetechnology too?
Yes, GROHE ONDUS (the app) is a platform forconnected experiences. We had to reach out five or
six years in advance to think about what products wemight want to connect to this platform in the future.
With app development, technology is moving so fastthat we wanted to make sure we were ready for
future digital developments too. If I have a mobile
device in my pocket and I’m using GROHE Sense
Guard its highly unlikely that I will use that when I’mactually in the bathroom, But once my shower isconnected, in the future, I can enter the bathroom, I
can access my shower, turn on the light or music in
the shower, set my temperature preferences and soon. So we really thought about the long-term
dynamics of what’s to come.
So was the project a departure for GROHE?
In a way GROHE have long been pioneers in digitalproducts, so no, this is much more like a naturalextension for us. GROHE has great experience withdigital products, with GROHE ONDUS as the first
digitally controlled collection, including a digital
shower and basin mixer. Water safety as a category
is new for us, but the idea of digital water products
is something we were already leading the field in,
and it has been great with GROHE Sense to be able
to draw from and build on our existing expertise.

What was the experience of designing GROHE
Sense like?
It was actually a very hard product to design! WithGROHE Sense we wanted to create something thatlooks like a highly considered tech device, but once
you put it into a room you don’t want it to stand out.
The real challenge in the design process was tobalance the technology aspect of the sensors insuch a way that consumers find the design relevant
in any setting in their homes.
How did you make the design recognisably“GROHE”?
The design has been based on key elements fromGROHE’s design DNA – the ring which appears in our
products again and again is the foundation for the
Sense module. It’s a symbolic form; we use the ring to

10highlight an important area or interaction of the
product. This product goes much further than just thedesign; we’ve also added a whole new level ofinteraction and user experience because this is asmart-connected product. For example when you put
the battery in GROHE Sense and use the app set-up
process, we’ve designed a sequential app-to-productlighting experience that tells you when the product is
active. So there’s a lot of experiential feedback in the
set-up process. What we’ve done is make this entire
experience very easy for consumers to set up.
But with the GROHE Sense family the physicalproduct is only one aspect of the experience.
What I think is absolutely unique about these two
products is the fact that we have considered thetotal consumer experience. Most of the design time

Did you have to bring in any specialist skills to thein-house design team?
Yes. There is a design discipline called digital user
experience. We added this discipline to the design
team. Bringing in digital design capabilities reallyhelped us with the interaction between softwareand hardware experiences. We spent a lot of time indevelopment digitally prototyping and role-playing
user scenarios to resolve the different user
experiences from product set-up onwards.
What has the experience of working on thisproduct been like?
Amazing. I’m proud of the entire project team, notjust design. We have poured all our efforts into thisproject. It’s been one of the toughest projects theteam has worked on because it’s highly complex,
but we’ve put huge attention to detail into every

aspect, from the packaging experience to the firsttime you connect it. There’s no stone unturned on
this one.
What is the most exciting part of the product foryou personally?
For me it all goes back to pure enjoyment of water.
I want people to LOVE their water experiences, andwhen they unbox GROHE Sense it should be a
moment of pure joy – totally simple, no frustration,with the consumer feeling 100% confident withGROHE protecting their house.
Has GROHE Sense come out of consumer demandfor “smart” solutions?
Yes, we’re in a digital era where people are living daily
with new technologies in all aspects of their lives, at
all touch points. What we aimed for is to give people
peace of mind and to enjoy water without stress. WithGROHE Sense you can enjoy life, travel to hotels
around the globe but still monitor the home fromanywhere in the world. Long term I think consumer
empowerment is also part of it. The intent is definitely
to help people shift behaviours – if someone isconcerned about their water bill, these types of
products can help with that. It’s just really exciting.
What further developments do you see for the
product in the future? Is there more to come?
We’re starting with the idea of water safety, but
GROHE ONDUS is part of a much bigger picture –we’re looking to allow people to manage every
aspect of water in their home digitally. In the longterm the idea is we will have one connected appthat drives all your water experiences within thehome. While we’ll have GROHE Sense and GROHE
Sense Guard for water safety, humidity control, etc,
in future you’ll be able to connect your shower
toilet, you’ll be able to save personalised settings,
access your maintenance history, all within thissame app. You’ll also be able to connect to our
GROHE Blue® filtered water kitchen products.
GROHE Blue® uses both filters and carbonators,
and we want to make it even easier for consumers
to replenish those items, but at the same time we’realso bringing in water tracking to access the healthand wellness aspect to the product.
So this is just the start of a new digital journey?
Yes. Makes sense, right?

HOW GLOBALTRAVELLERS ARE
REDEFININGLUXURY

Luxury isn’t what it used to be, at least
not for the hotel industry. Traditional
concepts of luxury may still have theirplace in the market but they are
increasingly being replaced with newforms, as the tastes, habits anddesires of the guests who can afford
such properties change.
Matt TurnerIndeed the very people who can afford suchproperties have changed. Luxury guests are nolonger exclusively middle-aged, Western or male.
And today’s luxury has to be intuitive and adaptable.
A traveller’s perception of luxury not only changes
throughout their lifetime – it can change throughout
the duration of a single holiday. The new era ofluxury travel requires brands to constantly assess
their expectations, and adapt accordingly. In otherwords, new luxury is real-time.
Globally, consumers are becoming more affluent,and they are choosing to spend their increased
disposable income on experiences rather thanmaterial products. This has fuelled an increased
demand for travel across the board – global travel is
growing faster than global GDP, and luxury travel is
growing even more rapidly as consumers seek more
rewarding and luxurious experiences when they
travel.
A parallel trend is the ever-increasing importance ofdesign as a driving force in the hospitality sector.
Over the past twenty years, hotel owners anddevelopers have invested heavily in engaging theservices of designers to help differentiate theirproperties from the competition. Hotel groups haveentire departments dedicated to the interior design
and architecture of their properties.
Hotels are having to adapt their offer to accommodate
the changing demographics of luxury. Today’s luxury
traveller might just as easily be a twenty-somthingtech entrepreneur as a fifty-something CEO. They
might well be Chinese, Russian or from the Middle
East. And it has taken a long time, but hotels are
finally waking up to the different needs andexpectations of female business travellers. There is
still, and always will be, a place for the old school
luxury of a Claridges or a Connaught, but there isalso an ever-increasing diversity of hotels catering
for the needs of wealthy guests.
The range of luxury hotels in this GROHE “Water
Enjoyment” book perfectly illustrates many of thetrends that typify this new paradigm.
At luxury resorts, privacy is a key consideration. At
the W Punta Mita, for example, private balconies,
plunge pools and sun decks allow guests to bathe
under the stars in privacy.
Sustainability is another key driver. New hotels
such as Alila Villas Uluwatu in Bali, designed bySingapore-based WOHA, are being built with moreenvironmentally friendly materials and greater

1213

attention to carbon footprints. Water conservation
is at the heart of this eco-aware approach, withsoaks, rain gardens and a waste water management
system.
More traditional, elegant forms of luxury are on offer
in the Marsa Malaz Kempinski, the InterContinental
Jeddah or the Grand Hotel Thalasso & Spa in SaintJean de Luz. It’s interesting that bathroom fittings
are one of the most commonly used signifiers for acertain kind of brash luxury hotel. Gold taps arealmost as much a shorthand for traditional luxury as
chandeliers and champagne.
Interesting too that warmer toned metals such as
brass and copper have come back into fashion as
guests seek more “authentic” interiors, anddesigners respond with products that may be new,
but have the appearance of vintage, up-cycled or
pre-loved items.
Increasingly, it is not just ostentatious design that
luxury guests seek, but properties that deliver
authentic experiences, in authentic surroundings.
Sleeper Magazine is proud to have worked in close

14

partnership with GROHE over the past ten years of
our European Hotel Design Awards. Now in 2017,
we are working with GROHE and other partners to
expand this collaboration on a global level, with thelaunch of AHEAD – our new awards for hospitality
experience and design. This will see our existing
awards schemes in Europe and Asia rebranded, andaugmented with new events for the Americas andMiddle East & Africa regions. A key aspect of thisrebranding is a slight shift in emphasis from design
and architecture in their own right, to design as it
shapes and enhances the guest experience.
Provenance and eco-sensitivity are more important
than ever before. Guests don’t just want to knowthat the food on their plate in the hotel restaurant isgrown on the farm down the road, but that the tiles
in the bathroom were fired and glazed by local
craftsmen, that the shampoo they wash their hairwith is infused with indigenous herbs or that thewater they bathe in is recycled rainwater. Despite
this hankering for traditional products with a story totell, conversely and simultaneously technology iscentral to the new luxury. As I write this from the
ALIS conference in LA, I have just spent a morning

listening to executives from Google, Microsoft andFacebook explain how robot concierges, appactivated room keys and virtual reality are going toshape the future of travel.
And WiFi – once considered a luxury that hoteliers
could charge a premium for – is now seen as
essential a commodity as hot running water, andone guests do not expect to pay extra for.
What does this mean for the bathroom? Perhaps,where a butler might once have drawn a bath for the
returning traveller after a day’s safari or shopping,
the bubbling tub awaiting might have been activatedby smartphone as the guest orders an Uber back totheir hotel room, and the room-service drinks
ordered from Alexa and delivered by robot. But no
doubt today’s luxurious guest will still want to recline
in the tub with the champagne chilling in a bucket ofice, and a glass to hand. Not everything about luxury
is changing.

GLOBAL HIGHLIGHTS IN
LUXURY HOTEL DESIGN

Inspirational, luxurious hotels aimed at theadventurous global traveller are as diverse as theirguests. Here we highlight three very different
projects, from Holland to Mexico, each definedby their innovative design details, all of themincorporating GROHE in their unique offering.

BREDA
HOTEL NASSAU BREDA

The luxury lifestyle and design hotel in southern
Holland invites guests to have an extraordinary
experience. An old Franciscan monastery from1903 was completely renovated and rebuilt. The
designers added a lot of light and additional space
to the old, dark masonry, creating an atmospherethat combines old and new. The design also
incorporates the religious context, mixing it with amodern ambience. "Heavenly beds, demonic
events, angelic staff and a food sanctuary" enchantguests in a luxurious manner. The bathrooms in thisextraordinary hotel are also hallowed andcontemplative places thanks to brilliant GROHE
products. The GROHE Rainshower® Cosmopolitan
spoils guests with massage functions and the
GROHE Euphoria 110 Champagne hand shower set
provides for exquisite, top-class showering pleasure.

SAINT-JEAN-DE-LUZ
GRAND HÔTEL
THALASSO & SPA

The five-star Grand Hotel, situated in Saint-Jean-deLuz on the magnificent Basque coast, looks back on
a near 100-year history. It was renovated only
recently and now boasts a new, charming splendour.
The interior designer Patrick Ribes from Paris opted
for timeless, discreet luxury in the design anddecoration.
The bathrooms reflect this style through brilliant
GROHE products. The flat-head shower from the
GROHE Rainshower® F-Series fuses seamlessly
with the bathroom architecture and, coupled with
two adjustable side showers, ensures never-ending

HOUSE INLUXEMBOURG

1

The private villa from 1928 was thoroughly renovatedand rebuilt within a period of four months. The project
posed a challenge to all of the participants because
parts of the building were in very poor condition.
EPAD architects made drastic but gentle changes.
The owner wanted the first and second storeys to belinked to make the living areas brighter and to create
more room. The truss was converted completely andthermally insulated. Parts of the oak flooring were
repaired and it was re-laid in some rooms. The interior
design has clear lines and forgoes unnecessary
elements. As a result, the extravagant furniture draws
attention and acts as an eye-catcher in the rooms.
The GROHE products in the bathrooms are the first
choice for people looking for something truly
extraordinary. The superbly designed GROHE
Rainshower® F-Series showerhead is the core of thebathroom. The Grohtherm Cube Thermostat is not
only extremely stylish due to its geometrical design,
but also equipped with the most innovativetechnology on the market, the GROHE TurboStat®.
The latter enhances the sensitivity of the thermo
element and makes showering even safer. The
GROHE Euphoria Cube shower system withintegrated Aquadimmer function also ensuresmaximum water enjoyment.

The architecture expresses a spectacular transfor­
mation: the building’s bricks were part of a power
station that stood there previously. The Swiss architects
Herzog & de Meuron managed to combine old and
new in a fascinating way, creating contrasts on theexterior and inside the building. In the lower part ofthe building, the extravagance of the edifice isreflected in the taps in the washrooms. The GROHE

HOUSE

The private residential building is situated in thebeautiful eastern part of Madrid. The upper floors
afford a fantastic view of the mountains and apanorama of the city. The house is based on acompletely square floor plan of 12 x 12 square metres.
The renowned architect Alberto Campo Baezaarranged the spatial structure in a simple helicoidal
movement. In addition, some of the rooms intersect
resulting in a spiral connection of three diagonal
spaces. This explains the guiding principle of thehouse’s floor plan: "Two plus two plus two equals
much more than six."
Water is enjoyed to the maximum in the outdoor
bathtub, in the pool and in the bathrooms. The
GROHE Europlus basin mixer fits divinely into theexpressive forms of the building’s floor plan. The
GROHE Euphoria shower has a perfect form and its
handle virtually flows into the showerhead. With theSprayDimmer, it saves a lot of water while providing

right across from Dortmund Central Station. The

for movement and dynamism, the shell for a talking
building,” says architect Gerhard G Feldmeyer. The
fascination of ball sports is illustrated for visitors in
captivating exhibition rooms.
Fast reaction times play an important role in football –and in washrooms too. In the German Football
Museum, touchless technology is exploited to thefull. The Euroseco and Eurosmart CE faucets on thewashbasins react directly to every movement theuser makes thanks to infrared control. Water flows
only when it is needed. As reliable as the latest
goal-line technology, the sensor recognises hands
under the outlet. The urinals in the men’s bathrooms
work according to the same principle.

HOUSE

The 140 square metre Charred House was designedby renowned architects Tate Harmer, who specialisein healthy sustainable buildings linked to theirnatural environment. The house is set in the groundsof an historic country house and was conceived as
an "abstracted outhouse" to sit comfortably in themature landscape setting. The natural charred larch
cladding and jaunty form gently mimic the local
agricultural buildings to create a building very muchin keeping with its rural idyll. Super-insulated walls,
triple glazing, mechanical ventilation, air source
heat pump and solar thermal panels combine toprovide a very low-energy home.

The Minta single-lever basin mixer can be
operated precisely thanks to GROHE
SilkMove®. On account of GROHE StarLight®
technology, the chrome surface does not
lose its shine even after years of use. The
swivelling pipe outlet and the extractableswivel arm ensure a high degree of
flexibility.

In a modern kitchen where every object is
meticulously planned to work with an overall
interior-design concept, as in the Charred House,
the water faucets have to be chosen very carefully.
The very special mixers in the GROHE Minta line are
the answer. Outstanding technologies unite withimpressive design and poignancy.

ANDERSONVILLE

The Backyard Andersonville project is a townhousedevelopment on Chicago’s North Side consisting of
23 residential units. Epitomising a modern lifestyle,it supports life in a sophisticated community.
Pappageorge Haymes Architects created an
extravagant exterior that fits in well with the existingneighbourhood and completes it in a positive way.
The modern façade is high in recycled content,
reusing wood pulp and fly ash. Furthermore, it
employs a rain-control strategy that diverts waterback to the exterior, reducing the amount ofmoisture trapped in the exterior envelope. The teamof architects and developers set themselves thetask of creating an environmentally friendly, energyefficient building. The holistic design also includes ahigh-efficiency Energy Star furnace, air-conditioning,a humidifier, Nest learning thermostats, and ahydronic radiant floor heating system.

On account of the additionally planned
ceiling windows, extra light enters the
fashionably equipped living areas on the
ground floor.

The efficiently designed basin mixer fits
in excellently with the modern kitchen
and is a joy to operate thanks tofirst-class technologies.

FRAME HOUSE
1

The architects of the four-member Peak Studiocollaboration, whose office is located south ofTokyo, create extraordinary projects with their own
distinctive style. Frame House was created forpeople who seek simplicity and like to commune
with Nature. Due to the frame, the walls are only
loosely defined and can be changed depending on
requirements. As a result, the house has a very
bright and airy character. Curtains and otherseparating elements can be attached to the frame,
as well as flowers or a hammock. It’s a house that
proposes a particular framing of life.
The GROHE Minta C-spout blends in with theminimalist design. Like the interior design in general,
it dispenses with unnecessary elements andimpresses with its clear, elegant lines. The flexibilityof the wooden frames is mimicked by the water
faucet, which is maximally exploited due to theunparalleled swivel range.
