Anarchitekton GmbH was commissioned on the one hand to accommodate the ICT infrastructure within a room - that was created especially to this end - meeting the latest security Standards and, on the other hand, to adjust the existing customer areas t o the specifications of the new owner. Five customer reception salons were established, featuring different characters in terms of color, just as at the headquarters. Memorable rooms had to be created through fabric-covered walls, wall-to-wall carpets, drapes and architectural lighting for the reconditioned furnishings delivered by Mirabaud. A particular challenge was the integration of the salons - inspired by the appearance of 19th century rooms - in a building dating from the late 1960s with its typically moderate ceiling height. The illusion of amply high and representative reception rooms was created through indirectly lit ceiling mirrors. The impression intended by the customer rooms was illustrated to the client by means of plans before the implementation started. The different characters of the customer salons are interlinked through the use of a color range for plain as well as for patterned fabrics. which allows for flexible combinations.
