What convinced you to join the hej.build Architecture Advisory Board?
What appeals to me most is the exchange, the change of perspective and the opportunity to gain insights into new subject areas. I find it exciting to bring different viewpoints together, to question existing ways of seeing things and to develop new ideas from them together.
What is most on your mind at the moment in architecture, interior architecture or building products?
What’s on my mind is how we reach and move people with architecture. Which aspects are crucial so that spaces don’t just work, but also have an emotional effect and stay in the memory?
What does good architecture/interior architecture mean to you?
For me, good architecture always responds specifically to the place, the surroundings, the use and the people. It emerges from the interplay of these factors and so develops its own identity. That’s why it can’t simply be transferred to another place at will, but always works in its overall context.
Is there a current highlight or an all-time favourite project?
Our »Retablo« project has stayed with me in a particularly positive way. The task of creating a café with seating in just 21 m² was a real challenge. Thanks to the openness of the clients and the operator to unconventional ideas, we were able to develop a concept tailored specifically to the space that meets all the requirements. The result is a special place that I always enjoy returning to.
