Lindley Lindenberg, Frankfurt, Germany

LINDLEY LINDENBERG is the third LINDENBERG Hospitality GmbH hotel in Frankfurt am Main and is based upon the experience of a guest community, in which long-term tenants and overnight guests not only occupy on of the 100 suites, but also a large number of shared living spaces: An indoor farm, a concert studio, a parlour with a library, a roof top terrace, a wild urban garden, community kitchens, a bar, a bakery, a restaurant and a gym. The communal spaces form the core of the project, and are for the most part vertically stacked on the building’s cast iron-coated glass façade. They create the ‘Wunderkiste’ (Pandora’s Box), a diorama of the LINDENBERG world, and a community that has made togetherness its goal. LINDLEY is playful, inventive and yet consistent in its spatial arrangement, colour scheme, choice of materials and design language. It is a centre of attraction in the previously industrial area in the east of Frankfurt. Since 2012, LINDENBERG has seen itself as a pioneer of co-living, for which access plays a greater role than ownership. Depending on their wishes and plans, guests are invited to move between areas with a particular purpose, and dive into those communities. In this way, LINDENBERG spaces reflect the social need for communal living and working. A new quality of life, accompanied by a sense of togetherness – balanced with the possibility of individuality, and always focused on sustainability in both living and business.
