touchstones.
At Studio Berlin, our core touchstones guide every project and reflect our commitment to excellence in architecture. These touchstones shape our approach, ensuring that our work is both innovative and client-focused, with a strong commitment to sustainability and inclusivity.
Innovation
We push design boundaries to create forward-thinking and visionary solutions.
Systems and materials evolve in design as in construction and we pride ourselves in continuous education and the seeking out of alternate and improved design solutions, while keeping in mind the build-ability and associated costs.
Sustainability
We integrate eco-friendly practices and materials, focusing on energy efficiency and environmental responsibility.
Sustainability is found in the most rudimentary aspects of design through orientation, scale and layout but also in materials, treatment of the site and its surroundings as well as in sourcing materials and throughout the entirety of construction process.
Functionality
We ensure our designs are practical and enhance the everyday experiences of users through thoughtful layout.
Each design reflects the needs and preferences of the individual and/or family while weaving these in to an innovative design solution.
Inclusivity
We create accessible and welcoming spaces for everyone, regardless of age, ability, or background.
Universal design is not just an outcome but also carried throughout the design process. We aim to accommodate every clients’ individual ability, mobility and needs.
