Commercial Architecture
architectural branding and holistic brand identity
We specialize in a unique form of architectural branding for commercial enterprises designing your brand’s skin in a holistic dimension.
The skin of a brand goes far beyond traditional logos and visual identities: it is a three-dimensional, physical and spatial embodiment of your brand’s values & philosophy. In different media we create a holistic and cohesive design identity that operates not only visually but across multiple perceptual and media layers.
The skin of a brand envelopes the brand while constituting a multimodal and systemic identity, making it tangible in every space and across various media. It acts as an interface between the brand and its users, reflecting the core values and philosophy of the company in the cohesive design of facades, interiors, infrastructure, products, print and digital media.
Our architectural branding approach creates a symbiosis between functionalism, aesthetics, and brand-identity. Spaces are fashioned not merely as places for work or commerce, but as authentic and immersive spaces of a brand’s character.
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.
campus of religions
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.
