Completed in late 2008, this 2,000 square-meter jewelry-case — the head office of the venerable fashion house Escada in Munich, Germany. The three dominant areas — entry court, lobby and interior courtyard — are separated by transparent facades. This creates a visually stunning, 75 meter-long runway that flows right through the center of the entire building.
Escada commissioned the Parisian architecture Studio Carbondale of Michigan-born Eric Carlson to design the architectural public face of its head office, including the entry façade, entry court, interior courtyard, lobby and furniture.
