Modern Staging of Water Technology at the Konzerthaus Dortmund
The Right Style is Part of “Calling the Tune“
Variety instead of monotony, harmony instead of dissonance: The Konzerthaus Dortmund has got a lot to offer for every taste. Where the artistic program meets highest demands, architecture and house technology have to keep the level. Therefore, the house, opened in 2002, provides both a varied program and highlights in the sanitary rooms. Faucets, accessories, shower heads and electronic urinal flushes by GROHE are the leading actors here.
The atmosphere in the conductor’s room is particularly “tense“. Refreshments with the GROHE faucet line “Tenso“ are there for the art director to keep cool. The name, deriving from “tension“, tells what the GROHE designers are up to here: the straight faucet body with the arc-shaped handle and the spout running parallel to it form an exciting union.
Besides the brilliant optics, with GROHE products acoustics do matter. This is because the high-quality, quiet carrying out of the faucets, also known as the “Whisper“ quality, is based on the cartridge technology leading worldwide. Therefore, and at the most, the operating of a Grohe one-hand mixer, as for instance the “Tenso“, produces but a gentle ripple.
In order to appropriately stage the acoustic enjoyment for the audience, all artists are to be able to appropriately prepare at the venue. Therefore, in the spacious ensemble dressing rooms the one-hand mixers of the GROHE “Eurodisc“ line make quiet yet clear marks in the showers and at the wash basins. “StarLight“® is the GROHE name for their lastingly shining surfaces, which are not reserved for the “stars“ alone, but add the right shine to the faucet and shower head program distributed worldwide. With the smooth conduction of lines and the touchstone handles, “Eurodisc“ particularly pleasantly appeals to the eyes and the sense of touch
The spacious public sanitary facilities are furnished in a modern style and provide the greatest comfort with the “Eurodisc SE“ line: At the touch of a button, the water flows, and the user does not need to touch the faucets again after cleaning his hands – the water flow stops automatically and is economic. The urinal facilities at the gentlemen’s restrooms work especially hygienically without the need of touching by means of the infrared control “Tectron Skate“.
So the Konzerthaus in every respect manages to form the combination of a traditional, classic furnishing and a new, modern institution continually in motion. With its “symphony of variety“, the “Philharmonie für Westfalen“ is very well-received by the guests.
