JOI-Design is pleased to announce that Thomas Scholz has been promoted to Director of Contracting and Finance. Corinna Kretschmar-Joehnk and Peter Joehnk, co-managing directors of the Hamburg-based hospitality interior architecture specialist, are delighted to confirm his new position.
“Thomas Scholz possesses a rare combination of skills. Not only is he a talented interior designer, he also has a great deal of business and legal expertise” says Peter. “We are happy to entrust him as an authorised signatory of contracts effective immediately.” An accomplished carpenter and interior designer, he joined the practice in 2004 and was promoted to project manager one year later, with contract and finance responsibilities added when he became an Associate in 2013. Thomas comments, “It is truly satisfying to contribute to the growth of JOI-Design and ensure our three decades of creative vision continues into the future to shape a lasting legacy in the world of hotel design.”
About JOI-Design
JOI-Design was founded in Hamburg in 1984 by Peter Joehnk, who, alongside Corinna Kretschmar- Joehnk, has cultivated the practice into one of Europe’s most respected leaders in hospitality design. Thirty years of experience has led to a firm belief that design is the hotelier’s best marketing tool. As designers who are “shaping atmosphere”, this principle manifests itself through their genuine interest in the art, architecture and social inheritance of the location which is ingeniously woven into the interior character of each project. JOI-Design’s diverse four and five-star projects encompass modern airport and business new-builds, grand historic establishments, restaurants and spas for many of the major hotel brands, as well as independent properties, across the continent.
