Galvanized steel components are standard solutions in a wide range of applications. In this innovative example, BeL - Sozietät für Architektur anticipated a viable next use phase by selecting components from a modular galvanized steel formwork system that would otherwise be used during concrete construction.
By adapting this galvanized steel formwork system into the fixtures, fittings, shelves and dividing walls of this cyclo-cross store in Cologne, the possibility to repurpose these items when these fittings are no longer required by the shop is assured. The galvanized steel components are certain to have a positive value in future and today create a robust and creative backdrop to the store.
