A: We like to be inspired by the places where we plan. It is also necessary that we carefully study which materials have been used and try to draw up a suitable material concept. If possible, we also try to reuse materials, but it is often difficult because there are many restrictions. We rather rely on constructions that can be dismantled, that are handcrafted and have a material quality.'.

But we still believe in the fact that well-designed spaces have a positive impact on people.'.

Studio Karhard is a Berlin-based architecture and design studio founded in 2003 by Thomas Karsten and Alexandra Erhard, behind some of the city’s most recognizable spaces: from Berghain and Panorama Bar to restaurants, medical practices, and private residences across Berlin.

We spoke with them about what makes a space meaningful, why a building’s history is part of its future, and what Berlin looked like when they first arrived.
