Light-transmitting concrete for the ­German headquarters of Flixbus

Flixbus is among the market leaders in Germany with one of the most extensive intercity bus offerings in Europe. The interior architecture of the new Flixbus German headquarters in Munich was designed to reflect the company’s innovative strength, and to be inviting and discreetly prestigious at the same time. Allmann Sattler Architects, from Munich, met these expectations by using Lucem light-transmitting concrete as elevator cladding and as a special highlight to accentuate the floor design – as well as for the washbasin countertops in the toilets.
