In the historic 'Palais an der Oper' Modal M was responsible for the transformation of exclusive office space in this picturesque building ensemble on Munich’s Maximilianstrasse. The result is a unique combination of historic structure and prestigious new building space. The new design of the building structure and office space layouts for the Palais proved a convincing argument for international company DLA Piper, which moved into a surface area of 4,000 sq. m. in the Palais an der Oper. The architectural handling of historical elements of the building represented a particular design challenge. Working in partnership with the lower-level listed building authorities and the State Office for the Preservation of Local Traditions, the preserved “Klenze Wing” and the “Opera Houses” were carefully and appropriately incorporated into the tenant’s usage concept. The tenant also entrusted the tasks of planning and the interior architectural design of all office areas, including lighting and furniture design, to Modal M. It was even one of the showcase projects selected by the Bavarian Chamber of Architects: DLA Piper in the historic Palais an der Oper.
