In the heart of Innenstadt-West, where the weight of industrial history meets the electric hum of the weekend, this design explores the friction between uncompromising grit and refined eclecticism. Here, the "Dortmund Yellow" is reimagined: no longer just a bold strike of color, it is translated into warm sandy undertones and a glow of golden light.

The concept takes the raw, "hooligan" energy of coal and steel and bathes it in a sophisticated, amber atmosphere. By softening the city's rugged working-class identity with a palette of honeyed oaks, sand-washed plaster, and warm-spectrum lighting, the industrial aesthetic is transformed into a refined, cozy sanctuary.

The Shell: Raw concrete and blackened steel provide a "hard-edged" foundation, nodding to the labor and metal music roots of the city.

The Glow: The vibrant Dortmund yellow evolves into diffused architectural lighting and brass accents, creating a "golden hour" effect that warms the industrial surfaces.

The Texture: Soft, sandy-hued textiles and eclectic, plush furniture provide a sophisticated counterpoint to the raw architectural bones, ensuring the space feels curated and inviting.

This is a tribute to Dortmund’s extreme passions—music, sport, and labor—distilled into a space that feels rugged yet radiant, and industrial yet home.

Please read Bob's house rules carefully. If you break them, you will be charged a fine and/or your booking will be terminated, and no one wants that!

• Respect your neighbours. You're sharing the building with other guests and residents. Be aware of your noise levels and keep things tidy. Quiet hours are 10 pm to 8 am daily.
• No parties or any events that might disturb other guests. We know, parties are fun, but people need their rest too.
• No pets, unless otherwise confirmed in advance by Bob W in writing. Just reach out with questions!
• Shoes off inside. Not only does this reduce noise for your neighbours, but it also keeps the apartment clean and in good shape.
• No smoking, even on balconies. Please use marked outdoor smoking areas.
• No drugs or use of any illegal substances. If we find a reason to believe this is happening during or after your stay, you will be reported to the local authorities and that'd be a major bummer.
• No rubbish in the hallways. Please check your apartment for instructions on how to deal with rubbish and recycling.
• Respect our cleaners. Although each apartment is thoroughly cleaned after check-out, please pick up after yourself and use common sense when leaving. If you leave a big mess that takes extra time to clean up, you'll be charged.
• Keep to your check-in and check-out times. Your last-minute schedule changes impact our cleaners and other guests.
• Report any possible damage you see in the apartment during your stay so Bob can fix it.
• You are always fully responsible to pay for damages caused by you, your guests or pets. Any violations of the law or fraudulent activities will result in immediate termination of your booking and will be reported to the local police for further investigation. It's Bob's responsibility to make sure all guests are safe and have a good time! Thanks for your understanding and for helping us out with this.
