DIIIP, Loft M in Cologne
In our video series #Meet the Architects, architects present current projects from their offices. Jochen Reetz from DIIIP explains the design for the Loft M project in Cologne. This apartment, completely redesigned for a young family, is located in a former customs hall of the now defunct Rheinauhafen. It offers spectacular views of the impressive river scenery. The design focuses on room-height built-in furniture, sustainable materials and strong colour accents.
