The Herzog Bar & Restaurant in Munich is an outstanding fusion of eras that co-exist and complement each other: mid-century and contemporary. The post-war beauty of the bar was preserved by Build_Inc. during the recent renovations, producing a result that is strikingly unique. Take a peek!

Keeping in mind the distinctive look and feel of buildings from the mid to late 1950’s, the Build_Inc. team respectfully employed some of the most noticeable effects in the design from the era, namely brass and textured concrete.
The brass veins then continue like tentacles throughout the entire space to wrap around the gray concrete bar, climb up walls and adhere to the wide windows, before finally forming the ambient lighting fixtures throughout. Touches of golden brass can even be seen stretching through the furniture, embracing the lounge chairs and the edges of the lacquered wood tables.

Reverence is also paid to the great Swiss-French architect, Charles-Edouard Jeanneret-Gris, better known as Le Corbusier, in the striking umbra-black paint used on all the visible structural elements in the space, such as the ceiling and supporting columns.

This grounds the entire design in a strong basis and ties all the forms together. As a result, Build_Inc.’s goal, that of both respecting and highlighting the building’s past while adhering to the high-standards which contemporary customers have come to expect from gastronomical destinations such as Herzog, is achieved to striking effect.
