Glaubten Areal
Product + Space
Concept + Strategy
A spatial design concept for Glaubten, the specialist hospital for social medicine and addiction, that brings together values, identity and history. It covers the hospital, the Schärme addiction-accepting residence and the administrative offices in the same building, creating a shared design language across every area.People are at the heart of it. The design offers orientation, a sense of security and appreciation, and makes the institution’s social and medical values tangible in everyday life. At the same time, it responds to the different needs of each use – from treatment and living areas to staff workspaces.The concept builds on the legacy of Pfarrer Ernst Sieber and strengthens the identity of the place. The result is an environment that builds trust and makes the institution’s special mission visible in the space itself.

Orientation, history and values
We started with lots of conversations, personal memories and historical material. From these, we developed a curated system of quotes, photographs and narrative elements that guides visitors and staff through the foundation’s history. The wall designs help people find their way, convey what the foundation stands for and keep defining moments of its story present in everyday life.
We paid particular attention to handling the content with respect and authenticity. The design wasn’t meant to stage things, but to document, remember and connect. The result is a spatial narrative that links past and present.
The interventions were realised with high-quality printed vinyl and traditional paste-up paper. The mix of materials gives the spaces a lively, tactile quality and underlines the documentary character of the project.
