Berlin Art Week
We are thrilled to announce that our architecture studio has been selected to exhibit at the iconic Berlin Art Week 2025 — taking place September 10–14. Bold positions from young and established architects will be presented.
We will present parts of our Skin Manifesto: “The Metropolis as a Multimodal Skin” — envisioning the city as a living, mediating membrane between nature, cultures, identities, spaces, and infrastructures. Berlin Art Week transforms the city into a stage, uniting galleries, museums, project spaces, and cultural institutions in a dynamic dialogue. It’s an honor to contribute to this vibrant intersection of architecture, art, and urban culture:
„Architecture and urbanism embody forms of multidirectional and multimodal communication, mediation and translation. We make a shift from an object-based approach to an interfacial gaze. Our interdisciplinary office envisions a holistic development of the contemporary metropolis as a multimodal skin – a structural, cross-system, and interfacial medium that generates identity by mediating between differences.
As a surface of contact and exchange it mediates and translates between different milieus while enabling a dynamic coexistence between them. The metropolitan skin depicts how difference and identity can engage in a synergistic choreography forging a polymorphic urban and socio-cultural fabric.“

A brandskin is a multimodal fabric that goes far beyond conventional logos and visual identities: it is a three-dimensional, physical embodiment, materialization, and spatial manifestation of your brand values and corporate philosophy.
We create a holistic and cohesive design identity that operates multimodally — that is, on architectural, visual, spatial, and digital levels. The brand skin thus gives your brand a systemic character, recognizable across different spaces and media. The “skin” of a brand functions as an interface between the brand and its users. The core values and philosophy of your company are translated into a coherent design language that encompasses resorts, buildings, façades, interiors, infrastructures, products, as well as print and digital media.
Architectural branding creates a holistic fabric of brand identity in which functionality, aesthetics, and brand values are interwoven. Brand architectures are therefore not merely designed as commercial spaces or workplaces, but are developed as holistic and authentic experiential spaces for your brand.
Café NIL
Rebranding & Redesign, 2022
Reimagined, Redesigned and Rebranded in 2022, Café NIL is more than a café – it is a materialized vision of intercultural identity and a multimodal philosophy which is blending differences.
The design concept weaves historical charm with contemporary aesthetics, creating a seamless dialogue between preservation and renewal. A symphony of colors, textures, and materials converges under a celebratory lighting design, shaping an interior that is rich in layered references. At the heart of this luminous experience we designed a new bar and a 15-meter-long chandelier composed of 120 dimmable lights—an unbroken thread of light that unifies the space while symbolizing the unifying continuity of the nile river.
This interplay of illumination, stone, fabric and colour fosters an atmosphere of connection and warm celebration within, while simultaneously extending an invitation outward. The grand chandelier, visible from afar, serves as a radiant beacon—an architectural gesture of welcome. Here, gastronomy is not merely the act of dining, but an homage to the art of gathering, a poetic celebration of our multifarious existence.

International Competition, Honorable Mention Award, 2020
The proposal was developed for the European competition “Campus for Religions” which was announced in April 2020 by the archdiocese of Vienna’s catholic church in Austria and received an honorable mention award.
The brief was to design an interreligious space comprising a campus for the catholic pedagogical college along sacral buildings for 8 different religious communities with a 2000m² shared plaza. The project’s site is situated in Aspern-Seestadt (in Vienna) which is one of Europe’s largest urban development projects.
The building is conceptualised as an interface which acts as mediator between the different religions. As such the architectural design aims to maintain the different identities of the religious communities while simultaneously blending them into a cohesive interreligious whole. Emanating from the huge shared plaza, the ground gradually morphs into the college’s facade and roof as a topographical skin.
