StoDesign - Design meets architecture

"... and sometimes a few points/dots more to make a building a unique landmark."

When buildings blend harmoniously into their surroundings or cityscape, an optimal interplay between architecture, colour and design has been achieved. A team of architects, colour and design specialists supports you in all aesthetic aspects of building and develops individual colour and material concepts with you: for facades and interiors - from individual buildings to complete cityscape designs.

"...or the love of wild animals to make balconies distinctive."

StoDesign offers project-related colour and material concepts, your wishes are implemented in the best possible way. The designs are intended to inspire. They show design options in digital, virtual visualisations that enable decisions on architecture, design and technology.

For example, the artist Matto Barfuss provided the animal concept for the individual balconies in Helmstedt. A beautiful example of how to cleverly combine themes, such as LebensART and ARTenvielfalt (https://www.kwg-helmstedt.de/lebensart.html) in colour concepts here.

Colour and material concepts

"...or using strong colours to facilitate a friendly atmosphere."

One focus of StoDesign is the design of appealing multi-storey and underground car parks.

To develop a good orientation in the parking area by means of colour design is a responsible task for us, which we gladly accept.

The concepts are developed on the basis of the objectives and tasks discussed with you. Regional contexts and a differentiated consideration of the given architecture are examined and taken into account.

Colour tones, surfaces and materials are defined. All this is done in close consultation with you.

"...or bringing the inspiring power of nature into the car park."

Nature is a never-ending source of inspiration. It also exerts a fascinating effect on people. Natural colour tones and earth tones are attributed with calming properties.

StoDesign takes a differentiated look with you at the intended use and function of the building and examines and takes into account the building's surroundings so that a harmonious unity is created.

Technical and design variants are developed and tested.

Let yourself be inspired...

With great attention to detail, the StoDesign department develops colour and material concepts with a unique character. Each underground car park is individually designed in terms of colour and adapted to the surrounding requirements. An unmistakable calling card in the urban environment. Let us inspire you...

Excursions and workshops

The StoForum Design excursions take you to very special places with modern architecture, which are in an exciting context with history, culture, urban development and landscape.

The excursions are led by experienced local architects. As excellent connoisseurs of the cities and regions, they stand for the professional quality of the programmes and grant you "glimpses behind the facades".

The only jointless skin of our buildings, plaster, has been receiving more attention again for some years. Our workshops deal with the importance of the great material plaster in architecture - historically and contemporarily. You will learn how to plan plaster surfaces. And you will learn about the design-relevant properties of plasters as well as craftsmanship processing techniques.
