The aim of the collaboration was to create an even more harmonious connection between the exterior and interior, enhancing these unique homes built in classical architectural style with exquisite colours to make them even more beautiful and distinctive. Following extensive discussions with Axel Schmitz, colour designer Anna von Ketteler (both pictured on the left) developed four shades that will be used in all future RALF SCHMITZ projects. The colour quartet exudes a subtle, calm elegance – making it exceptionally versatile and easy to combine! Each shade has been named after family members from various generations of this traditional company.

Our first project in Cologne! It is a special pleasure for us to present this gem to you: In the coveted villa colony of Marienburg, we are realising a beautiful building whose design language suits the distinguished quarter. More than 100 years ago, visitors to Marienburg admired the buildings of renowned architects as they strolled through the shady avenues of the quarter. To this day, magnificent monuments with traditional architecture characterise the image of the quarter.

Classic architecture, exquisite interior design and a sought-after location – luxury apartments and townhouses feature an impressive, all-round harmonious look and feel. However, the purchase of a luxury property requires thorough planning; after all, those who know what to look for when choosing the right property enjoy twice the luxury: Not only do they benefit from the exceptional living comfort of their new home, they can also rely on the certainty of having invested in a property that will reliably increase in value in the years and decades to come.

Even in the construction industry there has always been disagreement about what services a professional project developer can and should provide. This is certainly due, at least in part, to the fact that the profession of project developer is not protected in Germany and consequently experts from the fields of business administration and architecture with varying professional profiles are active in this area. On the other hand, however, the schools of thought represented in the architecture sector and the construction industry also have different priorities.

Whether it be making an expressive contrast or creating a harmonious setting, modern garden design is as multifaceted as the architecture that surrounds it. However, when the green spaces are not only exquisite in their own right, but are also equal to the property to which they belong in terms of both aesthetics and functionality, they achieve a level of attention to detail that makes all the difference between a stylish residential unit and a true luxury property.

A high-quality residential property is not only an investment with stable value, it also allows owners to leave something to the next generation that will last and which the beneficiaries can ideally even take over at full value. This is because, under the right conditions, not only can real estate in Germany be inherited tax-free, it can also be subsequently sold on tax-free.

Natural stone or parquet flooring? A roof terrace or a garden? A cosy open fire or a 360° panoramic view? In terms of what constitutes a specifically luxury apartment, the following applies: De gustibus non est disputandum – ‘There’s no accounting for taste’; after all, what provides the greatest pleasure is, as we all know, a highly personal question. But the one thing that all luxury apartments have in common is the extraordinary lifestyle that they provide.

A property is a long-term investment. So it’s all the more important that buyers feel well advised. Rather than buying directly from a developer, therefore, some prospective owners prefer to work with a professional real estate agent who can take them through the entire selling process, from choosing the property to completing the purchase agreement.
