A modular design update with sustainability factor by Dornbracht | News | Architonic

The Black & White theme, which already begins in the entrance hall and, in this case, runs through the entire apartment as a black and white thread, is also evident in the bathroom, using very subtle design elements. Here, too, the architects sought the path of the greatest possible preservation. ‘We decided to leave the existing installations from 2000 and just update them with new fittings. This was only possible because the new Dornbracht products fit onto the old connections,’ explains project manager Michael Pöckl from Huggenberger Fries. ‘For example, the more modern MEM fitting was mounted on the same plate that previously hosted the classic Tara. That is what we understand by sustainability: With a product designed for the long term and as a system, it’s very easy to tie in, continue it and thus modernise without tearing everything down.’
