TERMINO Magazine | Brandenburg Atelier by Thomas Hall-Thompson

A Symphony of Functionality and Aesthetics

Nestled just outside Berlin, overlooking the tranquil Grosser Lienewitzsee, the Brandenburg atelier stands as a beacon of modern architecture and design innovation. This TERMINO-commissioned residence embodies more than just a structure; it represents a harmonious melding of architectural vision and some of TERMINO’S brand's core values: flexibility, sustainability, and timeless design.

A Dance with Nature and Sustainability

Designed by the young visionary architect Thomas Hall-Thompson (@t.dh.t), the atelier is a testament to modern principles that cherish and elevate the natural world. Its design seamlessly integrates with the surroundings, creating a profound connection with nature. The extensive use of locally sourced Brandenburg forest wood underscores a commitment to sustainability, minimizing environmental impact while enhancing aesthetic harmony with the landscape.

Large Windows: Capturing the Essence of Nature

The atelier's features large windows at the lower levels, which frame the enchanting views of the woods and the lake, blurring the boundaries between interior and exterior. These windows echo the brand's philosophy of creating adaptable living spaces in harmony with their natural settings.

The Heart of Modularity and Timeless Elegance

Each room in the Brandenburg atelier showcases TERMINO's dedication to modularity and timeless design. Carefully selected hard surfaces in each space offer distinct ambiences, ensuring a unique multi-sensory experience. The TERMINO systems' modular design allows for flexible rearrangement, aligning with the dynamic patterns of natural light and seasons.

The Kitchen: A Masterpiece of Functionality and Thoughtful Design

The heart of the atelier, the kitchen, is ingeniously crafted from 13 modules, offering ample storage and complete functionality. A clever layout distinguishes the cooking area on the left, preparation space in the middle, and washing area on the right. This thoughtful division of labor not only enhances functionality but also epitomizes the considered layout, making usage impressively efficient and elegant

Synergy with Furniture Design: Elevating Aesthetics

The atelier's architecture extends to a collaboration with furniture designers, reflecting a fusion of innovation and creativity. This synergy adds a layer of uniqueness to the interiors, enhancing aesthetics and emphasizing the timeless design principle.

A Vision for Future Architectural Endeavors

The Brandenburg atelier is a model for future architectural and design projects, bringing to life the principles of flexibility, sustainability, modularity, and timeless design. It's a space where architecture and brand values merge, creating an environment that is aesthetically pleasing, connected with nature, and sustainably minded.

The Brandenburg atelier, with its innovative design and thoughtful integration of TERMINO's philosophy, continues to inspire in the realms of architecture and design.

Tucked into Ritterstraße in Berlin-Kreuzberg, the studio and office of BUS Group occupies a building designed by Ebers Architekten, known for residential and commercial spaces that balance durability with individual character. The space now houses the full operation of BUS Group, a studio working across 3D motion, graphic design, and art direction.

As opposed to your classic liminal space office layout, BUS Group’s HQ entrance lands you on an elevated mezzanine-like platform.

When BUS Group took over the space, one of the first decisions was structural: the original wooden staircase was replaced with a metal one. The decision set the material logic for everything that followed. Metal runs throughout the studio, in the meeting table, the lamp, the shelving, the balcony, and the TERMINO kitchen island, a consistent thread that gives the space its industrial clarity without becoming cold.

The kitchen is positioned between two rooms, operating simultaneously as circulation and enclosure. Sliding side panels allow the space to close off, shifting it from passageway to contained room when needed. Positioned in front of the large, Ebers Architekten–designed windows, the TERMINO unit catches a soft, indirect north-west light that reinforces the studio’s subdued material palette.

The kitchen sits between two rooms. The space is simultaneously a passageway and its own private room, close-able ´through two rolling side doors. The TERMINO sits right in front of the large classic Ebers Architketen windows, reflecting the sunlight light from the north-west.

Earlier this year, TERMINO sat down with BUS Group founder Manuel Birnbacher. Watch the interview HERE.
