In the course of the overall redesign of the VIP areas in the stadium, Büro Korb redesigned the VIP area North (VIP rank Platinum), various boxes and, as a highlight, the VIP Club West with two restaurants, lounge, bar area and various boxes.
Design concept and materials
In addition to the use of high-quality materials, we have placed an emphasis on the staging of the rooms through light. For example, the entrance areas of the boxes and restaurants are structured by dramatically backlit spatial elements and the passageway to the stadium is designed as a light tunnel that can be used with various light scenes. Another theme that runs like a thread through the area is the combination of architectural and graphic elements.
The interior design is entirely geared to the game, for example, by staggering the ceiling in the restaurants and raising it towards the stadium interior. The furnishing of the restaurants allows a view of the pitch from almost every one of the approximately 130 seats. In the lounge, the guest sits slightly elevated on a platform and can watch the game from a relaxed position.
The restaurant and lounge areas are consistently differentiated and divided into different zones.
The restaurants are defined as a quiet zone by a heavy, woven carpet. The communication point before and after the game as well as during the break is the central bar in the front area. Guests are the focus of attention as they walk across a red carpet on their way to their seat in the stands and enter the stadium through the light tunnel, almost like a player.
In the lounge, on the other hand, a completely new football experience is possible in hip and cool surroundings. With a DJ and finger food, a club atmosphere is created here and after the game it’s party time.
