Urban living: the 260 condominiums of the “Friends” residential towers in the west of Munich offer modern city dwellers sophisticated architecture with the highest level of comfort. In addition to two communal roof terraces, a kitchen lounge and a gym, a housekeeper is available on request to deal with shopping, dry cleaning and deliveries, and water plants. A service app helps with reserving a place in the kitchen lounge, booking workout times in the gym and organising a window cleaner or laundry service.

The apartments themselves combine floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows with comfortable open-plan layouts. Bathroom, kitchen and dressing room are arranged in a cube system, while the storage spaces are outsourced. This results in interlocking zones within the apartments with no loss of living space. Floor-level shower continue the idea. However, 30 different bathroom layouts required 30 differently-sized shower areas. The solution? Bespoke Floor shower areas of enamelled titanium steel — simply perfect.
