Wine, pleasure, style and art
Wine connoisseurs and wine lovers will find the new wine hotel in Volkach to be an exceptional holiday destination. The architectural office konzept a+ from Regensburg took over the project development and created a solution that combines aesthetics and functionality in impressive harmony. Wall and floor tiles of the brand Agrob Buchtal play a special role, for example in the bathrooms of the guest rooms: there, washstands and shower floors made of the same ceramic tiles as on the floor and wall allow a coherent room concept and a special kind of feel-good atmosphere.
The cosy and at the same time contemporary and modern hotel rooms at the foot of the Franconian vineyards were designed in cooperation with the interior designer Silvana Gutjahr (furniture) and the artist Ameli Neureuther (large-format Pop Art pictures). Their works adorn, among other things, the sliding glass partition wall between the bathroom and the actual hotel room. The same applies to the oak shelf designed by Silvana Gutjahr, which serves as a stylishly contrasting base for the ceramic washbasin. The overall character of the hotel skilfully plays with the theme of wine and the associations associated with it. The products used should therefore convince with a correspondingly expressive materiality and create an upscale ambience with natural warm colours and clear design language.
Attention to detail
For the ceramic tiles, the architects opted for the Agrob Buchtal brand: for the bathrooms in the guest rooms, they chose the Nova series (format 30 x 60 centimetres with slip-resistance class R10). This collection impresses on floor and wall with its soft matt-gloss contrasts and could also be used in the floor-level shower due to the slip resistance R11/B which is also available. With Nova, a harmonious combination with the wood decor of the furniture and the muted warm wall colours has been achieved, whereby the colour and feel of this tile series evoke the desired associations with natural elements.
A stylistic solution is provided by the washbasins of the Surf system by Agrob Buchtal, which in this project are made of ceramic tiles from the Nova collection and, thanks to the resulting material homogeneity, fuse sculpturally with the wall tiles. Using different variations of the tile colours basalt and medium grey, the architects created an attractive interplay between tone-in-tone combinations and excitingly staged contrasts. Surf is therefore a stylish and valuable solution in every respect, enabling hoteliers or restaurateurs to make a statement and differentiate themselves positively.
