open Space

Where art and architecture meet, something special happens — spaces open up. They begin to breathe, to move you, to invite a different way of seeing.

With our ideas for art in architecture, interior spaces, and wall design, we like to rethink places — to give them an atmosphere that feels alive, in tune with what’s around them.

We look for connection, for the hidden character of a room, and let color, shape, and imagination reveal new perspectives.

Sometimes it’s a bold splash of color, sometimes a quiet installation, sometimes a wall that tells a story — every project is a conversation with the space, its history, and the people who bring it to life.

Tell us what you have in mind — your space, your vision, what you’d like to create.

We’ll think along with you and find ways to make it real, together.

Wall lettering for a Childcare center

For this childcare center we wanted the entrance to feel playful and welcoming — a place where imagination begins right at the door. The colorful logo was shaped from matte acrylic letters and set on the front wall, while the rest of the text was painted directly onto the concrete. Together they create a sense of depth and movement, making the word “Fantasiereich” — “realm of imagination” — shine with warmth and joy.

Project "My School"

As part of an "Art in Architecture competition by the City of Munich", represented by "QUIVID – Munich’s public art program", this project was realized on the roof above the entrance of the elementary school at Amphionpark, in Munich. The lettering is made of laser-cut aluminum sheets, painted in bright colors and mounted on a galvanized steel frame with a shimmering finish. Dimensions of the lettering: 13.95 x 2.04 m.

The colorful letters spell out “Meine Schule” — My School — loud and clear for everyone who’s already learned to read. And for those still figuring it out, don’t worry — the older kids will fill you in. Because it’s not just any school — it’s my school. Up there, written in big, friendly cursive, just like the handwriting you practiced as a kid. The four horizontal bars behind the letters look a bit like those old notebook lines that helped us keep our a’s and o’s in shape. Only now, the letters aren’t trapped on paper — they float in the air, full of color and light, with real sky shining through: morning, noon, or dusk, cloudy or sunny.

Painter Endy Hupperich has quite literally drawn into the sky. The piece says a lot with just two words — a small grammar lesson turned into something much bigger. And it sparks all sorts of feelings: a bit of circus fun, a dash of roller-coaster thrill, a reminder that learning can be both wild and wonderful. It’s a piece that makes you smile — a wink in aluminum and color. This school isn’t a gray box or a factory for facts. It’s a place that greets you with color and warmth, that tells you right away: you belong here. And maybe, if you look closely, it also whispers a little reminder — that learning starts with owning your story, your my. That’s how I’d like it to be — for my school.

Project "Pole - STOA 169"

Design of a column for the Hall of Pillars – STOA 169 – in Polling. "POLE" – The hero has hung up his cape” is a collaborative work by Endy Hupperich and Lorena Herrera Rashid. In this piece, the two artists turn their gaze toward the world we share — with its constant noise, its bright surfaces, and its quiet moments of loss. Their work gently questions what we take for granted: the growing uniformity in how we live and see, the endless stream of images and messages, the rise of artificiality, and the restless pull of consumption and distraction. At the same time, it speaks of something tender — of nostalgia for what’s fading, and of the small acts of meaning that still hold us together.

Hupperich and Herrera Rashid draw on their different cultural roots and personal landscapes to create a dialogue between image and language — between irony and empathy, reflection and play. Their column for STOA 169 becomes more than an architectural element: it’s a quiet pause, a moment of humor and humanity, a reminder that even heroes need a rest sometimes.

Project "Na DNA"

Created in 2014, Na DNA is a two-part Art in Architecture project by Endy Hupperich, realized within the framework of a public art competition organized by the State Building Authority in collaboration with the Biomedical Center (BMC) of the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU).

Part I: The first part of the project is a large, blue tableau — 650 × 350 cm — made up of around twenty small "laboratory cartoons", brought together through screen printing. At first glance, the image recalls a protein gel stained with Coomassie Brilliant Blue, a familiar sight in scientific laboratories. But here, instead of proteins, it’s a mixture of humor and imagination that has been "applied" — a collage of comic-like fragments turned into a visual experiment. The cut-out sections within the blue field echo the gel’s missing bands, transforming the logic of science into something more open, more playful — a poetic exploration of structure and chance.

Part II: The same cut-out shapes appear again, this time as part of a Maypole that pierces the bridge connecting two wings of the BMC building. Hupperich reimagines this traditional Bavarian symbol in a contemporary way: a sign of shared identity, community, and creativity — and also of pride in Bavaria’s role as a place of innovation. The blue spiral winding around the pole calls to mind the DNA double helix, turning the traditional Maibaum into a living metaphor for connection — between people, disciplines, and ideas. The plaques attached to it show pictogram-like depictions of research themes from the various BMC institutes, translating science into a visual language everyone can read.

Taken together, both parts of Na DNA form a dialogue between art and science, between tradition and discovery. It’s a work that invites curiosity, celebrates collaboration, and reminds us that creativity — whether in a lab or in a studio — is always an act of connection.
