With The Rosen, STEIN & PARTNERS has developed an interior design that draws more heavily on the history of the site and on classical modernism. The starting point for the design was the question of how to combine the spaciousness of the former train station with a calmer, almost private atmosphere.

Instead of a consistent loft aesthetic, the result is an interior that bridges the gap between European mid-century design, contemporary minimalism, and the materiality of the historic structure.

A defining feature is the large-format natural stone cladding. The finely textured slabs form a continuous surface and lend the rooms architectural depth without appearing ornamental. Their irregular pattern deliberately contrasts with the strict geometry of the joints. The stone is complemented by walnut, oiled woods, natural textiles, and handcrafted furniture. The renovation primarily utilized durable materials sourced from Europe; existing wooden components and selected pieces of furniture were restored and integrated into the new design concept.

The floor plays a special role. The small-piece wood parquet draws on 20th-century design traditions and introduces a more refined sense of scale to the spacious rooms. Together with the warm wood surfaces, it creates a hierarchy of materials that deliberately blurs the line between architecture and interior design.

STEIN & PARTNERS relies on a clear spatial organization. Custom-built fixtures integrate storage, a library, and workspaces, creating tranquil architectural spaces within the open floor plan. Individual pieces of furniture, on the other hand, are deliberately left freestanding. Their more organic forms and the use of leather, wood, and textiles introduce a tactile contrast to the otherwise precisely crafted environment.
