The Eintracht Frankfurt football team has recently renovated and enlarged its historic headquarters in Frankfurt. The construction is part of a single facility in a green area of the city which includes three football pitches, changing rooms for the athletes with toilets, saunas and other rooms, plus a whole range of activities such as offices, dwellings and an area open to the public with shops and restaurants.
Designed to be functional and sombre, the premises are balanced and elegant thanks also to the choice of colours, in particular in the reception areas where the strict white of the walls – partly livened up only by the presence of graphic elements in the institutional colours, white, red and black – contrasts with the dark floor created with the slabs of the Lastranera collection.
The designers chose the Lastranera collection not only for aesthetic appearance but also thanks to the guarantee that material like engineered porcelain stoneware can provide with regard to the wear that the flooring is subjected to in an area featuring intense pedestrian traffic, in this case even more incisive since it will be caused by athletes wearing football boots.
