Brand Experience

The environments we spend time in influence our wellbeing – ideally, in a positive way. It’s not enough for only the functional aspects of the space to work, encompassing the emotional factors is also vital. That’s our firm belief.

Connecting ideas with spaces

Powerful places provide orientation because they transport their own identity. Whether it’s a neighbourhood or temporary usage, a showroom, workplace or hotel concept: the underlying reasoning is decisive. What values and purpose are pivotal for the project? These will provide the basis for a strategic positioning and in turn impact the design.

Connecting people in spaces

So much can be gained from personal encounters. It’s the reason why areas such as meeting points and marketplaces, coffee bars and yoga studios play such an important role in our designs. People become the centre of attention in places like these: it’s where they exchange information and gain inspiration.

Creating great places

We pay great attention to flexibility and adaptability, because requirements change over time – as change seems to be the only thing that’s certain in these uncertain times. The digital layer remains in focus in our workplace concepts as it’s essential for successful hybrid working, streaming presentations and recording podcasts. Plans for tomorrow always reflect the situation today. What ecological footprint have the materials we’ve used left behind? Were they produced sustainably? Are the products reparable and were they created to be long-lasting? Once a place has fulfilled the trio of requirements – multifunctional, digital and sustainable – it can claim to be a place of quality with a long lifespan.

Best Practices of the Brand Experience Team

Herzfelde – a very different kind of hotel

HOSPITALITY SPACES

 

Swap the city for the countryside – and join the community. Herzfelde Palace was an architectural sleeping beauty less than two hours from Berlin. The brief: a revival concept reflecting the local region, with hosts who would become friends, a library, rehearsal rooms, a lake sauna, culinary offerings “from farm to table”, and cycle tours. Inspiration at its best.

GRAPHICS & MEDIA

 

At doubleSlash, the wayfinding system is one of the elements creating identity: signposts and room numbers, all in a uniform colour scheme, act as a guide throughout the building. With their individual system of coordinates, they also contribute to the company’s authentic IT identity. This, along with the corporate values, is represented in the interior design and plays a decisive role in shaping the brand experience.
