When the St. Petersburg company "Aquarius" turned to the architect Evgeny Skorikova with a proposal to make a showroom HANSGROHE, it was taken with joy. In Russia, this is the first mono-brand showroom of the famous German brand. They decided not to start from Moscow, but from Petersburg. The architects thought it was worth connecting two styles in space - the signature minimalist image HANSGROHE and the image of St. Petersburg (the showroom is located in the historic center of the city, not far from Nevsky Prospect).

Since the premises of the showroom is located in a historic building, the configuration of windows, ceilings, layout should have remained the same. The architects emphasized the atmosphere of antiquity: the vaulted ceiling was painted in neutral gray, the walls were decorated with panels with finely drawn graphics. All shower heads from famous designers Philippe Starck, Antonio Chitterio, And mass-Marie... you can try it out: they are installed above the pool, laid out with a nostalgic white tile of 15x15 cm.
