We make spaces better. More accessible, more understandable, more legible and more usable. In doing so, we scrutinize the respective initial situation in order to find a creative answer to the underlying problems. When we say spaces, we mean built spaces. Open spaces, discursive and social spaces. Movement is at the heart of our work: on the streets and in people’s minds, generated by unforeseen situations and inspiring design. Even in “classic building commissions”, such as skate park planning, we are interested in taking people with us, showing new paths, recognizing social structures and, if necessary, changing them in order to enable ourselves and others to build on them. We ourselves come from a scene characterized by DIY culture and believe that “know-how” - i.e. the “knowledge about” - is perhaps created in schools and universities; but the “knowledge how” - i.e. the “how-to” - grows exclusively through doing. This is why participation, co-creation and co-production play a major role in many of our projects. And because they can create a sense of identity and responsibility. Responsibility and taking responsibility are key values in our work.

We work as partners and as equals - also and above all with our clients. We do not see any of the services in our portfolio as a “service”. Any form of transformation is always a collaborative effort that cannot simply be ordered from anyone or anywhere. We support serious intentions with everything we have, far beyond the usual minimum. We take the time to find out what is actually needed and try to include as many perspectives as possible in order to offer solutions that are not only answers to possible current questions and problems, but also open up possibilities for different futures.

So if you are looking for someone to participate somewhere for you and according to your ideas and/or produce a nice paper for your desk drawer, please ask someone else - offices for such needs are generally and sufficiently well known.

If you are serious about your desire for change and complicity at all levels, please get in touch at any time!
