Functionality:
Before our brainstorming, we put ourselves into the guest’s shoes and consider their needs: They arrive, maybe stressed, in the room. Where to put the luggage and the odds and ends for one night? While the suitcases can be completely pushed under the bed, a few items are easily put up in the deep frame of the illuminated mirror. The furniture we designed is “open” and light: Here, too, things can be easily stashed away, hung up or draped over, without the room losing any of its spatial generosity. The highlight, however, is the bed – a comfort and relax zone with a comfortable headboard, integrated electrification as well as built-in inductive chargers for mobile phones. 

Creativity:
In the various room types, an “ideal-typical” layout has been realized that manages to create a lot of tranquility and space also in the small rooms. With clever solutions like “open” furniture, the modernly interpreted alcove and the zoning by means of textile elements, a very special feel-good ambience was created. Custom-made curtain rails adjusted to the space situation enable to easily rearrange the alcove by means of opaque and translucent curtains. The color of the alcoves varies here from a comfortably cool shade of blue to a natural green, a vitalizing yellow-orange up to an exquisitely dark red hue. The color scheme is repeated in the light colors of the CarLoft loggias, so that a magical effect is achieved already on the outside. 

Innovation:
Latest mobility concepts make the b´mine Frankfurt Airport unique and distinguish it from the numerous hotels in its surroundings. This is mainly due to CarLift technology. This technology makes it possible in 40 of 241 rooms – the so-called CarLofts – to take one’s own vehicle up to the entrance to the room, and this up to the 10th floor and without the usual check-in at reception. One’s own vehicle can be parked on the CarLoggia to one’s own room, and be charged up directly at the charger for electric cars. On the event floor on the 11th floor, the CarLift is used as well. Here, it enables the presentation of vehicles and heavy loads in the large meeting rooms. 

Sustainability:
“Planning a house in a way that it will remain beautiful for a long period of time and won’t need to be renovated soon, this is what we consider to be our contribution to sustainable planning!” says Cord Glantz, managing director of GEPLAN DESIGN. Materials like, for instance, artificial stone are used in the bathroom wall covering of the Smart Room bathrooms that are convincing due to their low maintenance needs and robustness. The various surfaces were efficiently organized, so that planning was done in a most possibly consistent and seamless way, not least to enable easy cleaning. One example for this are air conditioning and shower heads that are integrated flush in the bathrooms. In this way, care is taken that surfaces wear out only slowly and over a long period of time, if at all.
