What we offer

A short list of specific things we do — every engagement is shaped to fit.

01

Cultural strategy

Long-horizon strategy for municipalities and cultural institutions. We facilitate, write and prototype — strategies arrive as documents and as test events you can stand inside.

02

Creative placemaking

For developers and city teams shaping neighbourhoods, plazas and ground-floor programmes. We design the cultural layer with the people who will use it.

03

Spatial futures research

Funded studies into what a place could be in 25, 50, 100 years. Mixed-methods: workshops with residents, futures literature, speculative scenarios, public exhibition of findings.

04

Facilitation

Workshops, retreats and decision-making spaces where culture intersects with urban planning. Bilingual (DE/EN). Up to 80 participants.

05

Advisory & boards

Sustained advisory engagements for cultural foundations and city culture departments. Quarterly or monthly cadence, on-call between.
