Montblanc House

Project description

The newly constructed Montblanc Museum is located, on Montblanc’s company premises in the west of Hamburg. The building houses a museum with café and boutique as well as a modern training area for the reception of selected guests. The building concept is derived from the company philosophy and the style icon of the company: the unique pen box on the exterior and the elegantly curved body of a fountain pen in the interior. The focus of the dry construction measures was on the technical implementation of the high architectural standards of Nieto Sobejano with very complex room intersections, freely “floating” staircases and especially the outstanding surface treatment. The design highlight is the “Montblanc dome” – a vaulted acoustic ceiling with a circular cut-out in the foyer.
The German expert jury praised the technically sophisticated finishing by the contractor Jaeger Ausbau GmbH + Co KG Dortmund, who placed themselves entirely at the service of the architectural idea. In particular, the visually striking language of the unique wall and ceiling surfaces repeatedly creating exciting spatial experiences. According to the jury, the Montblanc House is a perfect example of the manifold advantages that modern dry construction offers, especially in the realisation of cultural buildings.
