After studying at the University of Stuttgart in Germany, architects Benjamin Krampulz and Michael Meyer each formed their own firm. Six years later, they entered a design competition together and won, thus launching Krampulz Meyer Architekten<\/a>. Since, the firm has completed the Kitz<\/a>, a boutique hotel in Metzingen, the southwestern city known throughout Germany for its 70-plus clothing outlet stores.<\/p>\n

The 12,000-square-foot property with just 23 guest rooms and suites was erected to serve the shoppers flooding the area every weekend as well as weekday business travelers (Hugo Boss<\/a> is among the corporations headquartered in Metzingen). It\u2019s also the sister property of the Achtender, the client\u2019s other hotel with an antler logo that\u2019s located down the street. Achtender<\/i> is the German word for stag<\/i>, and kitz<\/i> is fawn<\/i>; both monikers are a nod to the region\u2019s game-heavy culinary traditions. \u201cBut it\u2019s not literal,\u201d Krampulz explains. \u201cIt\u2019s about the colors and atmosphere,\u201d Meyer adds.<\/p>\n

Witness the exterior of the Kitz, its emerald bricks and stucco meant to evoke the nearby forests. Inside, a lobby wall boasts foliage-patterned wall covering, hunter-green tiles appoint the caf\u00e9, and rustic birch panels the suites.<\/p>\n

After the Kitz, Krampulz and Meyer dissolved the firm to work separately again. But the change has to do with geography\u2014Krampulz has moved to Vevey, Switzerland, and established Fesselet Krampulz Architectes, while Meyer, still in Stuttgart, has launched Meyer Architekten\u2014rather than creative differences. In fact, the two are currently collaborating on a friend\u2019s home back in Metzingen.<\/p>\n
