HIGH-QUALITY, EXCLUSIVE AND POWERFUL: OUR SPECIAL PROJECTS
Architectural gems
As OOW architects, we see ourselves as designers and artists. Our work is always a combination of an exceptional architectural vision, great attention to detail and a careful selection of materials. Our task is to implement all the craftsmanship perfectly. From Berlin, we create powerful spaces and design architecture. Bei all unseren Projekten – ob national oder international – versuchen immer, das Besondere neu zu finden. OOW steht für beauty, architectural quality and a particularly elegant and high-quality design..
we design architecture
OOW is an award-winning Berlin practice designing and delivering buildings and interiors for commercial and housing—focused, bold, assured.
Special, without limitation and modesty: our pearls
Our approach to planning, building and designing around the world? Perhaps it is best described as hedonistic architecture: drawing on the full, without constraints or modesty. We have an appetite for space. We are bold and creative. And that is precisely what we want to present to you here.
Our elegant gems represent exclusive and particularly high-quality architecture, for which our hearts beat most strongly. Our aspirations and spirit are best expressed in these plans and designs. Take for example the stimulating contrasts of light and dark and the futuristic lines of the Social Sphere at Autostadt Wolfsburg or the summer villa Casa Locarno, nestled into the vast natural panorama of the Swiss Ticino: All our projects are exclusive high-end one-offs that work perfectly for the residents or staff in everyday life. Because despite all our love for what’s special: Architecture is only good if people enjoy living and working in these spaces.
"Whether colour, materials or light: for us, design is a composition – every aspect is discussed as a team and thought through to the end. This is how high-end architecture comes about."
Mathis Malchow, Architect BDA, Founder of OOW
How is the building to be used, and what wishes do the residents have?
Even if it sounds corny: Our buildings are always tailor-made. When it comes to materials, shapes or style – OOW’s architecture is completely geared to the future use and the wishes of the residents. Our task: For each space we tease out what makes it special, as can be seen, for example, in the interplay of the vaulted ceilings and the wooden cocoon in a Berlin loft , a former factory floor. We see high-quality design as an exclusive composition – perfectly coordinated and planned down to the smallest detail, for example in terms of colours, materials or light.
Thanks to visualisation, the effect of rooms can be recognised at an early stage
This is also why we plan and design extensively – and, above all, earlier than most architects – with digital visualisations. With the help of computer programmes, we can render spaces three-dimensionally – and in photorealistic quality. This allows us as architects, but also investors, clients or future users, to see how the spaces will one day feel, for example at different times of day.
