Wappenhalle (Coat-of-Arms Hall)

From transport hub to communications hub

The old arrivals hall of the Munich-Riem airport is converted into the centre and reception hall for the communications and administrative building “Wappenhalle” – an impressive property in Munich Riem.

Ten self-contained office premises line the reception hall and event location, which in modern guise retains the charm of cosmopolitan times gone by. The concept for the communications property was realised in collaboration with SAM Architekturbüro based on a competition design submitted by the architects PRPM. The most striking feature of the design is the transparent glass braces that connect the individual buildings and frame the inner courtyard.
