Dear Reader
It gives me great pleasure to introduce the sixth
edition of this annual publication “Water Enjoyment”,
celebrating iconic architecture from around theworld. The projects featured within the book aretestament to the exciting era of change we’re
experiencing, where great design has created a truly
global language, but also where the incredible
diversity of culture and aesthetics across our planet
is being explored and celebrated.

GROHE SmartControl

At GROHE we are proud to be at the heart of thischanging global landscape, where the future oftechnology is already transforming our idea of thehome into something smarter and yet also more
personalised. We are passionate about theways in which digital advances andinnovative design are improving ourown intimate relationships with
where we live, down to the most
personal of daily routines. As aforward-looking company we havealways been at the forefront ofadvancing water technology– but
we are also steeped in history. At
this juncture it is exciting to see astronger interest than ever before
in the ancient rituals and knowledge
that surround bathing culture
across the globe being explored
and improved upon to create
outstanding water expe­riences fortoday’s consumer. Take our latest
innovation, the Spalet shower toilet,
inspired by the growing demand for
tailored intimate care and higher-thanever standards of personal grooming. We
have drawn on the expertise and ideas that havebeen at the heart of Japanese bathing culture for
centuries by applying our own engineering expertiseand design excellence. It’s just one example of ourethos of combining the best aspects of traditional
water culture with the latest cutting-edge technology.
The result is a genuinely progressive product thatwill revolutionise the cleaning routines of consumers
before the day has even begun.
Smarter products are only part of the story however.
A better term might be ‘smart luxury’, where
technological advances are used to produce
indulgent, emotional experiences in the home. Take
our latest innovation, 3D showering, where theintuitive push-button GROHE SmartControl withmemory function delivers an ideal shower
immediately, with no water wasted, offering
customers a comfortable, sensual, ecologically8smart shower that is also simple to control. The
opening part of this publication focuses on theluxury residential market and includes a feature of
globally relevant studies that outline the insights
suggesting a change in values has arrived. Michael
Seum, GROHE’s VP Design, also explains how thesechanges have an exciting impact on product design.
As the world’s leading single-brand sanitary fittings
manufacturer, we are honoured to see our products
specified in such striking examples of iconicarchitecture.
From
hotelsandresidential
developments to sports facilities and hospitals, thisbook illustrates the diversity of our product portfolio
and the reach of our expertise.
Many of the projects included have been designed
to achieve the highest levels of sustainability and to
set new standards in resource efficiency. The Edgein Amsterdam has accomplished the mostsustainable office building in the world and has now
been honoured with the highest rating ever awarded
by the global certifier for sustainable real estate
Building Research Establishment (BREEAM).
It’s not just new-builds that can benefit from GROHE
EcoJoyTM products. Castilla Termal Monasterio
deValbuena in Spain, the beautiful 12th century
hotel and spa, was recently renovated to include
GROHE Eurocube with EcoJoyTM in the bathrooms
to complement its spectacular location. When not
hosting the World Economic Forum, The Davos
Congress Centre is keen to ensure its guests have acomplete solution in personal comfort and care. The
Centre has recently upgraded its bathrooms toinclude the new Sensia Arena Spalet, offering
complete personal cleaning.
At GROHE we know the importance of paying close
attention to the needs and aspirations of all ourcustomers, and innovating to meet them. As Mastersof Technology we excel in design, technology, andsustainability, meaning we are perfectly equipped toprovide products that exceed all expectations – bothtoday and tomorrow.
As you leaf through this book, I am sure you will be
inspired by the spectacular projects from around theworld. Some of them you will be familiar with, others
may be new to you, but all of them are united by ashared value. Products designed and manufactured by
GROHE.

CREATING AN EMOTIONALCONNECTION IN THE HEARTSOF OUR CUSTOMERSInterview with Michael Seum, Vice President Design
at GROHE, discussing how the luxury residential
market is changing and the exciting impact this has
on product design.

Industrial designer Michael Seum is GROHE’s Vice
President of Design taking over from Paul Flowers
in June 2015. Born in America, he is an award
winning designer whose international design
career spans large corporations; acclaimed design
studios and entrepreneurial start-up brands such as
Procter and Gamble, Whirlpool (USA & Italy),
PepsiCo Sports and Nutrition, Minimal and WiMolabs. At GROHE Michael is responsible for delivering
insight-driven, meaningful solutions that capture
the spirit and imagination of GROHE consumers
throughout the world.
1. Michael, what’s your future master plan for
winning over the hearts and minds of consumers
and their interior designers in these markets withproducts that tick all of the functional andemotional boxes?
We want to create experiences that go beyond theactual product. The goal is to create a strong
emotional connection in the hearts of ourcustomers, through design and experiences. That is
the focus. We’ll achieve this by working with a deep
understanding of their needs and a constantmonitoring of trends – where design, architecture,technology and even society as a whole are going. I
am always aiming to embed a sense of meaningand purpose in both individual products and thebrand as a whole and I love that at GROHE thewhole organisation understands that capturing thehearts of our consumers is our goal.
2. Your design philosophy ensures that the senseof purpose and meaning of products andexperiences do not get lost even in today’s massproducing global economy. So how can demanding
clients and their interior designers in the luxury
segment identify the high-end water enjoyment

12

products with perfect features for their luxury
bathrooms and kitchens? What makes thedifference between perfect mass-market productdesign and water enjoyment products for a luxury
lifestyle?
The possibilities for designing for luxury living are atan all-time high, as the number of super-affluent
individuals grows worldwide. It’s an exciting
opportunity for designers and the GROHE designteam as it allows us to really push boundaries andexplore the idea of products that previously might
not have been practical to develop. The difference,as the saying goes, is in the attention to details.
Details are of the utmost importance in all our
products, for all GROHE consumers, but for thehigher-end market details take on a new meaning –they want absolutely everything to have been highly
considered, and that includes ways to makeproducts even more personal to them. In fact, later
this year we will introduce an extension of our new
Essence line of products that will enable
personalisation of colours, finishes and materials.
This level of personalisation really elevates the
Essence line to a bespoke experience, allowing
designers and consumers to bring new andluxurious possibilities to their bathroom designs.
3. Michael, you have had extensive experience inmultiple facets of design, ranging from productpackaging, brand experiences, user testing andethnographic research to interaction design,
defining strategies and envisioning future concepts.
What qualifies as “luxury water enjoyment” in theresidential property sector?
Consumer perceptions of what the bathroom is or
can be have evolved very quickly over the last
decade, to the point where bathrooms can beenvisaged as a luxury or luxurious space. So GROHE

13

products are going well beyond the rational
expectations of consumers – they also have toembody the emotional needs we have in our homes,
needs like calming, relaxation, privacy and personal
wellbeing. And speaking of emotional needs, ourever-expanding range of luxury F-series customisable
shower systems is the ultimate in home luxury
wellbeing experiences. The F-series really allows aconsumer to create their own personalised experienceby incorporating steam, chromatherapy and soundtherapy, creating the ultimate luxurious escapefrom our hyper-connected lives! And going beyond
great design let’s not forget the obsessive attention
to the quality and craftsmanship of our products.
Luxury is also something you feel, it’s a tactile
experience from the way a faucet turns, how thematerials feel in your hand, right down to how itsounds. It’s about carrying those brand values
through every layer of the bathroom experience forour customers.
4. What about digital technology in bathrooms andkitchens? Is this the new standard for the feeling of
luxury water enjoyment?
With products like the F-digital series GROHE has led
the industry in the digital bathroom and kitchenrevolution, and I now see the conversation shifting tobeing about the ‘Smart Home’. I certainly believethat digital will become standard in many bathrooms,
but at GROHE we think that ‘Smart’ is broader thanthat. It’s about creating new, smarter water solutions
that save water, energy and effort while enhancing
the customer experience. And although digital will
be important in that, it can also be something as‘simple’ as the new GROHE SmartControl shower
function, an elegant analogue solution.
5. What opportunities do you see for future high-end
developments in luxury bathrooms and kitchens?
Are there currently any product categories andsolutions in particular that you believe are ripe fora new luxury style?
We’re seeing a real expansion in interest in wellness
and body care in the bathroom, with items andrituals that were once culturally specific to one
region now in demand across the world. The new
GROHE Spalet shower toilet that we’ve developed
is a great example. We’ve created a productexperience that offers a wonderful symbiosis
between different bathing cultures, offering a
product that uses Japanese expertise in ceramics
combined with our distinctive design aesthetic tocreate a really luxurious user experience that canalso be completely tailored to the individual. That’s
where I see luxury design going… and it’s great toknow that at GROHE we’re already there.

FINEST HOMESWATER ENJOYMENTDEFINING THE SHIFT IN VALUES

What will define individual perceptions of luxury
in future bathrooms? How will the needs of people
in different regions of the world differ when it
comes to furnishing their luxurious residential
homes? What will define long-term luxurious
living trends and how can GROHE strike a strong
emotional chord in the hearts of its customers,
bringing luxury water enjoyment to all types of
exquisite homes? The following compendium of
globally relevant studies outlines insights thatsuggest people’s values are changing.
The sense of luxury in different regions of the world
and cultures can differ greatly or even be diametrically
opposed. This also applies to the finest homes.
However, global studies provide valid information
about the direction in which the demands and valuesof buyers, owners and users of residential estates
are moving. For the teams of architects, investors,
designers, and decision-makers who rethink andcreate luxury home furnishings with passion,
enthusiasm and expertise, demands and values are
not the only important issues. During the design
process, there are always some key facts on their‘luxury compass’ that help them understand whatvalues and possibilities are at issue.
Let’s have a look at the potential. Today, approximately
150 million people worldwide feel the need tosurround themselves with luxury products and are ina position to do so. The starting price of a luxury
residential property is two million dollars on averageworldwide. In Beverly Hills, the minimum price for aluxury home is eight million dollars. The newwatchword for the high-end category is ‘trophy
houses’ – properties that sell for 10 million dollars or
more. Incidentally, luxury residences are not slow
sellers. After they are listed, the finest homes sellfaster than any other types of homes worldwide,
within an average of 31 days (according to Christie’s
global study ‘Luxury Defined’).
A CHANGE IN VALUES AND HUMAN LONGINGS
But what kind of feeling about luxury impacts
people’s desires when they furnish their homes?
Here is an example. Major changes since 2008 have17

significantly altered the understanding of luxury inEurope and the US. Quality of life and selfdetermined time as immaterial values haveincreasingly gained importance compared to theluxury provided by material values. Today, people
want things to be more understated, more discreet,
more comprehensive and hence ‘quieter’ (source:
Brand Trust study “New Luxury and Brands
Reloaded”). A different picture emerges if we have alook at China, where luxury is still something new. In
China, there is a ‘fast and extroverted’ lifestyle, anddistinction plays a greater role.
The growing disparity in perceptions of luxury in
different cultures and the resulting changes in values
are spawning new challenges for global brands like
GROHE. In future, the task will be to gain an evendeeper understanding of the values and requirementsof people from very different socio-cultural contexts
and, of course, of the common ground between
them as human beings, wherever they may live. At
issue, in a nutshell, are innate human longings foremotional security, health, wellbeing, and sharedharmony – and individual realization.
THE BATHROOM –THE HEART OF NEW LIVING SPACES
The representative study “Das Bad 2034 –Mittelpunkt neuer Wohn- und Lebenswelten“ (The
Bathroom 2034 – The Centre of New Living Worlds)
conducted by the Zukunftsinstitut Frankfurt am
Main shows in which scenarios these yearnings are
addressed and how they are put into practice inbathrooms. The study shows the extent to whichbathrooms, bedrooms and living rooms will merge
in future, particularly when it comes to the bathroomsof wealthy people.
SCENARIO 1: THE INDIVIDUALISEDMULTI-FUNCTIONAL BATHROOM
The former cross-generational bathroom will have asmart-home design in 2034. The concept is: every
user can turn his initial “blank bathroom“ into his
own personal bathroom by means of modular andopen systems. All he has to do is enter the bathroom,
and all of the elements will switch to his favourite
settings, ranging from room temperature, music
and coloured lights to the height of the washbasin
and toilet. Preferred surfaces such as wood, stone ortiles will be realistically projected on other surfaces.
In addition, the individual furnishings can be used inmany ways: the bathtub will transform into seating
furniture, the washbasin into a place to put on
makeup, and the mirror into a news monitor.

18

SCENARIO 2: THE BATHROOM AS HEALTH
CARE CENTRE
The bathroom will become the heart of individual
health management, with various elements of theroom taking on monitoring functions. They will saveand check physical and vital data and edit them forthe user. The toilet will check urine levels, thetoothbrush will collect information from saliva, andpeople will be able to determine their blood levels
easily using non-invasive methods. Health will
become visible and tangible, and the user himself
will be able to check and improve his health thanks
to hands-on applications, because the bathroom will
be able to slip into the role of a gym. Internet-based
technologies will complete these ‘health-care
centre’ functions of the bathroom. The user will beconnected online to the nearest pharmacies, will beable to get medical advice via live chats, or cansimply ask the web for the best restaurants for ahealthy and balanced meal during his lunch break.
SCENARIO 3: 100% SUSTAINABLE ENJOYMENTWITHOUT THE GUILT
Sustainability and resource efficiency are criticalissues in society, and they will be taken for granted
twenty years from now. By 2034, awareness of thesematters will have increased to such an extent thatbathrooms will have a positive ecological balanceowing to their high level of resource efficiency. They
will function autonomously with a neutral energy
cycle and will be independent modules for homeconstruction that will no longer necessarily bedependent on public water and energy supplies. The
zero-emission bathroom will enable users to takeseveral showers in the course of a day or to fill up
their whirlpool without burdening the environment.
The bathroom itself, as the user’s own small power
plant, will be a system for heat recovery and water
treatment. Untreated water will be converted intomethane gas and will be used to generate heat.
There will hardly be any waste water thanks to thevacuum toilet. In terms of design, too, sustainability
and naturalness will be in demand. Eco-friendly
facets of bathroom products will range from carbonneutral manufacturing processes throughout theentire lifecycle to recycling. As building materials,
natural materials like wood and mud are again on
the rise. They provide a comfortable indoor climate
and are hygienic, free of pollutants and compostable.

body and soul into harmony. As a result, it will offer
an experience like watching a 3D movie. With
sound, moods created by lighting, essential oil
scents and projected natural scenery, the bathroom
will take the user on an adventure into anotherworld. Whether steam room, lounger or massage
bathtub – the body will be pampered while the mind
breaks new ground. Instead of unwinding in a purely
passive way, people will be able to develop theirpersonalities through new meditative experiences.
Virtual realities will have a therapeutic effect, and thebathroom will make coping strategies available tothe user to alleviate stress and prevent burnout.
With the help of digital themed worlds, the room willbe transformed into a yoga studio or spa lounge andwill be geared to the person’s biorhythm with its
diverse functions. Its architecture will open up to the
bedroom, and the wholesome atmosphere of the‘selfness’ bathroom will induce restful sleep.
LUXURY WATER ENJOYMENT –GROHE DEFINES THE CHANGE IN VALUES
We can rest assured that these scenarios will
become reality in the finest homes. With a view tothe future development of luxury bathrooms,

GROHE is a pioneer and innovator driving this value
shift. On the one hand, GROHE is defining thepresent and future of Luxury Water Enjoyment in allof the finest homes worldwide. On the other, GROHE
is making fascinating product ideas for Luxury Water
Enjoyment accessible to the large target groups ofwater connoisseurs across the globe. After all, mostof today’s consumer goods used on a day-to-day
basis were once luxury products for a small circle ofpeople. This includes cars, mobile phones,
mechanical watches, chocolate, champagne,
cashmere, silk, air travel holidays, and eveninnovations for kitchens and bathrooms. Today’s
luxury will be accessible to people in the mass
markets of tomorrow. As GROHE defines the change
in values of Luxury Water Enjoyment segments, it isalso developing innovations that will make outstanding
comfort and resource-saving management of waterand energy in bathrooms and kitchens feasible allover the world. Or, as Michael Seum, Vice Presidentof Design at GROHE puts it: “Our goal is to strike astrong emotional chord in the hearts of our customers... a wonderful symbiosis between different bathingcultures.”SCENARIO 4: EXTERNAL CLEANING MEETSINNER BALANCE

HOUSE OFTHE INFINITE

The villa in its minimalist setup is made fromtravertine, a nod by the Spanish architect Alberto
Campo Baeza to the material used by the Roman
settlers who were responsible for the expansion of
the city of Cadiz almost two thousand years ago.
Baeza imagined the house as “an acropolis, where
the gods descend to converse with humans.” Thehouse, indeed, resembles an archeological site,
since half of the building is sunk deep in the desert
and the accessible flat roof features detached walls
which look like ruins.
Inside, the design of the house remains austere yetmodern, and the mainly open floor plan helps
animate local occasions and enhances the vast
living space. The House of the Infinite is clearlymodern and seems to be timeless. Thus, in thebathroom, Baeza opted for GROHE fixtures fromthe Rainshower Classics range because of their“simple lines and good finishes” that would match
his designs.

The Topo House, completed in 2013, perfectly fits
into the surrounding natural setting, as it more orless directly blends in with the rolling hills of
Wisconsin. The house rises into five interconnected
open levels with an “observatory” at the top,
providing a panoramic view of the surroundings.
This unique building clearly shows how a house canmerge with its context so that the boundaries
between landscape and architecture are blurred.
The exterior skin of the house features 190
aluminium fins that appear to change colour
depending on light and shadow. Moreover, the finsalso serve as a kind of rain screen protecting thebuilding. As the house is equipped with a closedloop geothermal system, its narrow footprint
captures cool cross breezes in summer, limiting theneed for air conditioning.

Barceló Milan, completed in 2012, is located on Via
Stephenson, near the trade fair facilities and close
to the site of Expo 2015. The new hotel was created
to re-examine, unhinge and completely renew thecriteria of the whole industry and its promotion andcommunication strategies.
The Italian interior architect and designer Simone
Micheli, who is one of the top five architects in Italy,
has obtained the prize “International & Property
Award 2015” in the category “European hotels withmore than 200 rooms” for his work on Barceló
Milan interior design, lighting system, heating system
and air conditioning.
The hotel does not want to be a business hotel or asuper-design hotel: it is a three-dimensional manifestoof the union between architecture, sensory experienceand design excellence, for the synergy between
iconic furniture and the private experience of whoever
occupies this space.

The Cures Marines 5-star hotel is nestled in the rightwing of the Casino in the heart of Trouville. This 20th
century neoclassical building was designed in the
Belle Époque style. It is just a stone’s throw awayfrom Deauville and has been the jewel in the crownof sea water treatments since its creation in 1912.
A renovation project provided Cures Marines with afacelift in the style that was typical of grandbuildings at the beginning of last century. Inspiredby the first sea-bathing spas, the Cure Marines
Institute revives guests possessed of a desire forwell-being. The hotel has 103 rooms available

Located within a late-Edwardian apartment building,the 5-star Marriott Hotel in London‘s Park Lane isnow, after an extensive renovation, a leading luxury
hotel in London. The renovation project, led by theinterior design firm RPW, included, among otherthings, the transformation of 152 guest rooms andthe redesign of the lobby. The result is a blend ofmodernity and historical authenticity.
Shades of white, dove blue and lavender havecontributed to a soothing and sophisticated ambience.
Guests find themselves immersed in details like thecollection of British artworks on display. The
timeless but top-notch selection of materials usedthroughout the hotel includes silk, leather, solid
wood and marble. Last but not least, the entrance
vestibules to the guest rooms provide a sense ofarrival that feels as appropriate today as it might
have done 100 years ago.

PREROWSCHEUNEN TRIO
The so-called Scheunen trio in Prerow was built by
Möhring Architects. The houses, or “barns”, wereawarded with the Landesbaupreis Mecklenburg
Western-Pomerania 2014 in the category ofbuildings that cost less than one million Euros. The
jury praised the integration of the houses into thecultural building tradition of the region and thearchitect’s deliberately contemporary design. The
windows open on to terraces so that the central
rooms of the houses can be expanded. The roofs
are covered with common reed, a nod to the
traditional roofing in northern Germany.

MILAN
CITY LIFE
In 2004, Studio Libeskind, in conjunction with Zaha
Hadid Architects and Arata Isozaki Associates,
landed the tender to develop and reconnect theexisting city fabric of Milan to an abandoned
246,858m² site, previously home to the city’s
historic fairgrounds. With a high-rise complex, ahuge park, a public square and underground station
scheduled for completion in 2016, the first housing
parcels have been completed by Studio Libeskind
and Zaha Hadid Architects.
The residences feature faucets from GROHE’s
Europlus line, such as the single-lever basin mixer,
the GROHE Sena hand shower set and the GROHE
Essence single-lever bidet mixer. All these fittings
are characterised by a timeless aesthetic design
and are thus the ideal match for these exclusive
residences.

1

The façade‘s design involves continuity
and fluidity: the envelope of the buildings isdefined by a curvilinear movement of
balconies and terraces, opening up into arich variety of private spaces, both interior
and exterior, echoing the landscape below.

2

Great care has been taken with the site andthe buildings orientation, taking into
account environmental and comfort
requirements so that most apartments facesouth-east, and at the same time ensuring
the best views from the terraces, towards
either the city or the public park.

3

The Libeskind residences display a rhythmic
pattern and are draped with brise soleils
made from new, highly sustainable
composite wood. Each building is topped
off by double-height penthouses, conceived
as villas, with generous terraces, luxury
finishes and city views.

are now linked together by a veranda stretching theentire length of the complex.
A special feature of the hotel is the bakery, as well
as a Wine & Deli bar, a design shop, a cinema, spa,
sauna and gym. Guests are not confined to theirrooms but can meet up in the “Wohnzimmer”, theheart of the Inselloft, where they can sip their wine
in front of the open fireplace. The hotel was
redecorated by brothers Marc and Jens Brune who
developed a concept that adequately fits to the airof Norderney and its buildings.

DAVOS
CONGRESSCENTREThe congress centre, built in 1969, has been graduallyextended and underwent its latest extension in 2011
helmed by the architect Heinrich Degelo. The newcongress centre now provides an optimal infrastructure
for events of all kinds and offers capacity for 5,000
attendees. It has a new plenary hall and a total of 34
meeting rooms, making it the biggest congress venue
in Switzerland. The centre works both as a single
entity with an entry area for large-scale occasions, andin form of three independent autonomous areas. Thisis made possible by the foyer, to which the separate
parts of the building tie in. One big challenge for thearchitect was to unify the former jumble into a clear
complex that the Kurpark (“spa gardens”).
The aesthetic appeal of the centre has also beenenhanced by the addition of two washrooms fittedwith high qualitative LIXIL and GROHE products andbased on an overall concept by the head of design at
GROHE. The washrooms were completely remodelled
and fitted with the latest sanitary equipment. Since
April 2015, GROHE has been part of the global market
leader LIXIL Water Technology, with GROHE remaining
an independent brand. At the congress centre in
Davos, the redesign of the washrooms was also driven
by the fact that the washrooms are used by numerous
people from different parts of the world on a daily
basis, thus the focus was on ensuring intuitive
operation and the greatest possible convenience.

The Dutch real estate developer and investor OVG
Real Estate has accomplished the most sustainableoffice building in the world and has now beenhonoured with the highest rating ever awarded by
the global certifier for sustainable real estate, theBuilding Research Establishment (BREEAM). The
Edge in Amsterdam has been given a BREEAM“outstanding” rating. OVG Real Estate worked closely
together with the main user of the building, theworld’s leading accounting and consulting company
Deloitte, while putting the project into practice.
By using innovative and intelligent technologies, theoffice building of 40,000m², scored a rating of 98.36
percent. Previously, the One Embankment Place inLondon was ranked first.
It is the first building that utilises LED lighting from
Philips connected to ethernet. Employees can use
their smart phones to adjust the light and thetemperature individually at their workplace. This
innovation not only saves energy costs but also helps
to control the energy efficiency of the building basedon the data collected. OVG’s office kitchen features
GROHE Blue and GROHE Red faucets. GROHE Red
allows you to draw filtered kettle-hot water directlyfrom the faucet without having to wait, while GROHEBlue purifies ordinary tap water. The built-in cooling
unit and exchangeable carbonisation bottle add thedesired chill and sparkle. Since many people bring
their own sparkling water in plastic bottles into work,
because they are concerned about the impact tap
water might have on their health, GROHE Blueactually helps people to minimise their impact on theenvironment by lowering their consumption ofplastic, architect Ron Bakker explained.

The D2 Tower, an office building developed by
Anthony Béchu and fellow architect Tom Sheehan,
is located in the business district La Défense, andwas completed in 2014 and inaugurated in
January 2015. At a height of 171 metres, thebuilding features 37 floors above ground andthree underground, providing an effective area of
50,000m². In October 2015, the skyscraper wasawarded with the Emporis Skyscaper Award 2015
in bronze.
The architects opted for steel as the material of
choice due to the great speed of construction it
offers. Using steel allowed the architects to use
30% less material compared to other structural
solutions; a saving that has also contributed to
improving the tower’s environmental footprint.
When viewed externally, the “diagrid” structure
gives the building a diamond-like shine. While one
side of the tower is aligned with the ring roadnearby, the other side describes a convex curve,
and both join together to create a sharp edge thatrises vertically to the sky.

tower in Paris’s business district La Défense.

already been awarded a prize by “Junior Architects”
from Berlin. Interiors were designed by Wiewiorra`s
team in cooperation with the Detmolder Schule fürArchitektur und Innenarchitektur, a university ofarchitecture and interior design.
The development was created according to themotto “sustainable architecture”, hence only
recyclable and environmentally friendly building
materials were used. The window panes were
removed from the Palace of the Republic andintegrated into the recycled Plattenbau.

2

The new stadium for the Athletic Club of Bilbao,
built by architect César A. Azcárate Gómez (IDOM),
was completed in 2014, now incorporating the old
stadium of San Mames. One challenge was not only
to maintain the amazing football atmosphere of theold stadium, but also, in terms of urban architecture,
to take into account the rest of the buildings that
constitute that particular area of the city. In order toprovide an intense connection to the city and its
surroundings, the architect focused on the façade
which is illuminated by state-of-the-art lighting
systems at night so that the entire stadium forms anurban landmark over the estuary.
The stadium has a capacity of 53,500 spectators,
3,000 hospitality seats, as well as leisure andmeeting areas, restaurants, cafés, the museum of
the soccer club and a sports centre open to the
public under one of the stands. The setup of thelatter is completely focused on the pitch in order toenhance the pressure that the fans exert on thematch, as the architect explained. According toGoméz, the old San Mames was known worldwide
for being a pressure cooker, with the crowd on topof the players.

BLACK DESERT HOUSE

2

Black Desert House, located near the Joshua Tree
Park in Los Angeles, was, according to thearchitects, a unique project and an almost once-ina-lifetime opportunity. They felt they were “building
a house in a natural cathedral”. Sitting like a shadow
in California’s Yucca Valley, the house combinesmodern American Land Art architecture withcharacteristic features in the International Style,such as the large curtain walls and the flat roof. As
for the creation of the interior and outside of thehouse, the emphasis was on increasing theperception of the surrounding landscape. Thus, thehouse contrasts the rugged landscape and, on theother hand, reflects its terrain.
The dark-coloured interior anticipates a cave-likefeeling as in the cliff-dwellings of the Southwest. As
a result, the views are more pronounced during theday, while the building seems to merge with thenight sky to provide ample space for contemplation.
The kitchen sink is equipped with GROHE Minta
Kitchen faucet, reflecting the perpendicularity ofthe basic architectural principles due to its angled
design on a small scale. GROHE Essence Basinfixtures, finished in chrome and used throughout
the house, complement the aesthetically minimal
design of the bathroom. The GROHE Essence lineof faucets has been updated since the completionof the Black Desert House, as it works particularly
well in cosmopolitan interiors.

were necessary. In 2012 architects Rowland +Broughton brought back the original charm of thehotel using cutting-edge technology. Today, theJerome is considered a historical icon of theskiresort of Aspen.
The interior designer Todd-Avery Lenahan usedfurnishings in the Western Victorian and Art Decostyles. Modern light fittings and GROHE faucets

NEW YORKFAR POND

1

The challenge for Bates Masi Architects on thisproject was to keep the structure of an existing kit
house while doubling its size. As the original isbased on a post and beam skeletal structure, thearchitect opted for a contrasting panel system in the
addition. Thus, Perforated steel is used throughout
the house in order to reduce the need for additional
components that require wasteful shipping andpackaging. According to the architect, infill material
was used through out both structures, on the floors,
walls and ceilings to unify the old and the new.
The bathroom features GROHE’s Atrio floor-mounted
single-lever bath mixer for freestanding tubs, which
is an easy way to add a touch of luxury to any modern
bathroom. A floor-mounted bath mixer lets you
chose the exact location of the bath, giving you thefreedom to plan your bathroom without compromise.

12This 1960’s house received a makeover in 2012 by

Martha Carvalho and Jason Urrutia. The designers
wanted to improve access from room to room andto the exterior, while adding natural light and vaulted
ceilings, all signatures of their design approach
which focuses on how one “feels” within spaces. The
centre of this design was the kitchen, with theemphasis on its central location within the houseand its relationship to the rooms adjacent to it. As inmany homes, the kitchen serves as the hub of thishouse. Its feel and finishes were critical to thehome’s design. Note the GROHE kitchen faucets
from the K7 and Concetto lines, which are theappropriate complements to the rest of the kitchen,
combining perfect beauty with function. K7 andConcetto were developed with input fromprofessionals and geared to the needs of home chefs.

This private residence, completed in 2011, was built
by Cornerstone Architects and is located in Austin,
Texas. In order to accomplish the owner’s goal of aresidence providing a warm setting for daily life, thearchitects used natural finishes like stained woodwith grey tones, as well as concrete and limestone.
The main focus was taking advantage of thedowntown views the lot offered. Another keyemphasis was centering the home around thefamily. Kitchen, dining and family rooms are theheart of the home. Every room is very spacious,
providing the feeling of a warm home requested by
the owner. Another demand of the owner was thatthe construction had to function on green features
like geothermal heating/cooling, rainwater harvestingand passive solar coverage due to the special
design of the roof.
Form follows function. This famous Bauhaus dictum
is evident in the GROHE Minta line of faucets in the
kitchen as well as Atrio in the bathroom.

The Palace Hotel opened in 1875 and then again in 1909
after it had been gutted by the earthquake. It saw its lastcomprehensive multimillion-dollar renovation in 2015
when it was remodelled for major structural
refurbishment and had an interior redesign by indidesignof Los Angeles. The update tried to maintain the original
Beaux Arts style of the second opening in 1909;
however some basic changes were necessary, forexample the replacement of the carpet and upholstery.
The corridors and high ceilings remained the same,
while the public spaces now feature more modern
touches that mingle well with old ones. The Palace also
witnessed historic events such as President Wilson’s
speeches in support of the Versailles Treaty in 1919. It
was the largest hotel in the world in 1875.

have passed with flying colours are they free to carry
the GROHE name out into the world.
Activities such as washing hands, showering andmaking coffee may seem rather trivial to the rest of us.
But for the Masters of Technology at GROHE, they
represent a science all their own – one that we
passionately seek to perfect with the ultimate in care,precision and meticulous attention to detail. All thewhile, we never lose sight of our goal – to share thePure Freude an Wasser.

WHAT IS ULTIMATE
CLEAN?
WASH OR WIPE?

When you think of cleaning what springs to mind?
Surely not paper? It’s fresh, flowing water! The mostnatural cleaning agent there is, it’s kind to the skin
and wonderfully effective. That’s why humans haveused it for cleaning since the dawn of time. We
wash our hands and bodies daily as part of ourhygiene routine – it’s refreshing, soothing andleaves us feeling good. We wouldn’t consider aquick rub down with a paper towel to do the samejob – except when we use the toilet. In many
cultures cleaning with water after visiting the toilet
is just as natural as washing hands. And today, as
our interest in hygiene and personal grooming
grows, more and more people want to get thatclean, refreshed and secure feeling after using thetoilet. As a result shower toilets – toilets with an
integrated bidet function – are becoming increasingly
popular. Now GROHE introduces its revolutionary
shower toilet, providing gentle natural cleansing
using just water.
