H4 Hotel Mönchengladbach

The hearts of football fans beat faster in the newly built H4 Hotel directly at the stadium of the first league football club Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Also included: lever handle 162 in robust stainless steel - quality and attractive design in one.
 

Borussia Park Mönchengladbach

The proximity to the Borussia Mönchengladbach football pitch influences the design of the rooms in the H4 Hotel and the building.
The individual rooms reflect the events on the square. Each floor has its individual design and shows great football moments of the club's history. Theme rooms on the floors offer insights into Champions League, European Cup, DFB Cup and championship successes. In some rooms the guest stays overnight with a view from the bed to the field. This makes the overnight stay a unique experience for the fan.

But this hotel is more: on a total area of around 15,000 m² and seven floors, the building not only houses the H4-Hotels brand hotel with 131 rooms and other hotel facilities. The building also houses the club museum, fan shop, rehabilitation and fitness centre with treatment rooms and the club's administration. The fan cannot stay closer to his club.
Even the design of the building is closely based on the Borussia Mönchengladbach association. The club emblem - the Borussia rhombus - is a design principle.

"With the H4 Hotel Mönchengladbach, we have created a place where football fans can follow the sporting action up close," says Alexander Fitz, CEO of H-Hotels AG. "There is a lot of heart and soul in this project. We hope that the guests will enjoy it as much as we do. Both the location and the concept of the hotel promise an impressive stay"

The architects J.M. Slapa, H. Oberholz and Z. Pszczulny have been jointly developing and realising buildings in the fields of office, commercial, hotel, industrial and residential construction as well as airports, sports facilities or facilities for teaching and research for over 30 years.
The internationally active architectural office sop architekten with around 90 employees and headquarters in Düsseldorf stands for a clear, timeless architectural language and for the holistic view of a building down to the last detail.
The architectural principle is not short-term effect or conspicuousness at any price. The architectural office focuses on timeless architecture, clearly structured and long-term. In 30 years a building must be just as present and appropriate, coherent and comprehensible in itself as it is today.

System 162 - Design and quality

The lever handle series 162 from HEWI blends into the avant-garde architectural style of the H4 Hotel at Borussia Park. The elegant but robust style of this hardware series creates an extremely attractive effect on the door.The purist design solution of the lever handle 162 in the mini version reduces the lever handle to the essentials without sacrificing functionality. Thus it gives a noble impression in the hotel bathroom also in the free occupied variant.

The form language of system 162 is based on the mitre cut. The French architect Robert Mallet-Stevens came up with the idea in the 1920s to separate a round tube and join it back together again at right angles on a mitre. He thus created a minimalist door handle for timeless architecture. Today, the design is mainly known under the term "Frankfurter Drücker". The puristic design concept of System 162 is convincing with its straight lines, high functionality and material options.
