Das Auge isst mit Modernisierung von Ladenlokalen ist ein Thema, dem sich viele Einzelhändler im Innenstadtbereich stellen müssen. Die Attraktivierung des Einkaufserlebnisses ist ein wesentlicher Baustein, wenn es daraum geht, den Wettbewerb von Shopping Malls, Billigtempeln und alternativen Einkaufsformen z.B. im Internet) in Schach zu halten. Direkt gegenüber der Sparkasse HRV wurden so in Velbert ein neues Eiscafé und ein Optikerfachgeschäft wieder attraktiv für die Kunden gemacht.

Company Headquarters Features of a Canadair Jet In the new Lufthansa CityLine building, all the working areas were united under one roof. The architects picked up on this unification by adopting typical elements of the Canadair Jets, so lending the building a high identification value. Over and above that, they supported possibilities for re-organisation by employing an intentionally flexible design. In the relocation of their business and the main administration from Frankfurt to Cologne-Bonn, the Lufthansa CityLine united their company headquarters, the flight operations, the technical department and their administration. The new office building with its storage warehouse at the rear was erected in front of Hangar I + II at the Cologne-Bonn Airport. By adapting the typical features of a Canadair Jets even for the ground plan, a high degree of identification with the Lufthansa CityLine was made possible. Just like the seats in an aircraft, the offices are to the left and right of a central aisle.
