Outlook 2017: Architectural concrete for the new Motel One in Cologne

Even if 2016 is not over yet: the kick-off for the first 2017 project has already be made! In the Cäcilienstraße – in direct vicinity to the Cologne New Market (Neumarkt), another hotel of the international Motel One chain is under construction. Of course, the hotel's exclusive location requires a high-quality design and appearance that should harmoniously combine modern elegance with urban ruggedness.

These demands are met by the facade elements made by Hering Architectural Concrete. Based on the designs of the Cologne-based Architectural Firm Gatermann + Schossig, Hering will construct large, white, prefabricated steel concrete elements with several surface layers and built-in windows. Through the use of various processes, such as sand-blasting and mild washing, the boundaries between the individual storeys is enhanced.

Beginning immediately, a large sample of this extraordinary facade concept will be erected at the construction site on Cäcilienstraße. In the new year, the manufacturing of the prefabricated parts will begin. These should be assembled in the fall of 2017.
