Good space appeals to all the senses: Advanced training on the topic of materiality

A visit to a materials agency

On the last evening before the Easter weekend, on a sunny day that heralds the emerging spring, we are welcomed in Stuttgart. There is champagne and small appetizers. We sit on Walter Knoll upholstered furniture between neatly stacked magazines, the bulk of which are devoted to the theme of interior design.

We are visiting the material agency "Raumprobe". The purpose of our trip to Stuttgart: advanced training on the topic of materiality (the champagne is incidental).

Materiality shapes space

We understand our work as holistic works that focus on the human being. In order for us to succeed in this, we deal intensively with the topic of materiality.

Through materiality, you connect a building with people.

People experience their surroundings at all times, most of the time unconsciously - with all their senses. Our project teams want to create spaces that work in terms of form, color, materiality and light.

Good space appeals to the senses.

We use materiality consciously

We learn from it how to use the right materials in our buildings. What effect that has. And: how we can use Raumprobe's services to do so. The agency supports us in what we do: We keep up to date with developments in the materials market. We know which materials can be used sustainably and which cannot.

And finally, our project teams work with our interior design teamTeam to develop an individual material concept for each of our buildings. This is how we succeed in creating a holistic work.

Our lesson in room rehearsal will certainly have its effect. Not because of the champagne. But because we all come back to the project work inspired and motivated.
