WHAT WE DO

ANAIS ARCHITEKTUR is an office for architecture and design in Vienna.

Our focus is on combining ARCHITECTURE with GRAPHICS, COLOUR, ARCHITECTURE PSYCHOLOGY and COACHING.

We give shape to your individual functional and atmospheric wishes and needs and translate them into FORM, COLOUR and MATERIAL.

Architecture
+ interior design

THE THIRD SKIN. The built environment nowadays forms the daily living environment for the majority of humanity. Therefore ecologically and socially responsible architecture and liveable cities are more necessary than ever – both for individual well-being and for social coexistence.

ANAIS ARCHITEKTUR develops innovative and individually tailored solutions for your functional and atmospheric requirements. We accompany you from the analysis of needs to the planning and implementation. From the holistic concept to the smallest detail.

Visual
Communication
+ graphic design

MAN IS A VISUAL ANIMAL. Successful visual communication is of decisive importance due to the high proportion of information that is absorbed through the sense of sight and the visual functioning of our brain.

ANAIS ARCHITEKTUR combines spatial solutions with graphic design to create a coherent visual image with recognition value. We translate your corporate identity into spaces and create architecture-related graphic design, such as orientation systems, exhibition catalogues and design manuals.

Colour
+ light

COLOUR IS COMMUNICATION. Next to form, colour is the most important design tool in architecture: it supports the space in its message and the users in their actions. A well-balanced colour composition uses the entire colour space with all its nuances and applies them in the respective context according to perception-psychological and visual-ergonomic aspects.

ANAIS ARCHITEKTUR supports architects, private individuals, companies and organisations in the implementation of colour in space through consultancy, lectures and colour concepts.

Architecture
Psychology
+ coaching

SPACE WORKS. „We shape our buildings, then they shape us“, Winston Churchill once said. The integration of human-scientific findings about the interactions between people and their environment into the design of human living spaces increases the well-being and health of the individual on the one hand, and has a variety of positive effects on social coexistence on the other.

ANAIS ARCHITEKTUR supports private clients, companies and planners in the design of human-friendly living, working, learning and urban spaces through the application of architecture psychological findings. In the run-up, during planning and in the existing building. Systemic, resource- and solution-oriented.
