room to grow.
Together we have lived in ten countries, from London to Barcelona, from Dhaka to Shanghai. This diversity of perspectives, cultures and aesthetics flows into every one of our projects. What connects us is a conviction: good space answers real needs. It gives what we carry within us an outer space to grow. Anna designs, Marie-Thérèse steers, and in the interplay of the two, a living place emerges.
Anna Fiege
Co-Founder, Design
Anna came to space through fabric – from the University of the Arts London to a diploma in textile and surface design at Kunsthochschule Berlin, and on to interior design at eina in Barcelona. At Burda Verlag she led interior styling projects; for a silk manufacturer on Lake Como and in Marrakesh she designed her own products. She shapes not from the outside, but from within: she attunes herself to people and their needs and thinks ahead to where a life is heading. So design becomes a process – and a space emerges that suits not only the moment, but what is to come.
Marie-Thérèse Gels
Co-Founder, Budget & Strategy
Marie-Thérèse studied for a bachelor’s and master’s in the Netherlands, France and Germany, before a placement at Grameen Bank in Dhaka led her into international finance. At Commerzbank she was responsible for the East Africa and DR Congo business within Financial Institutions, and later ran three Chinese branches from Shanghai. From 2015 to 2023 she was managing partner of CMF Capital in Berlin, where she oversaw a project of over 200 million euros with more than a hundred stakeholders. She is convinced that everyday life often absorbs us so completely that we lack the strength to turn to what matters most – ourselves and the space around us. This is where she comes in. With strategy, budget and timeline, she brings the drive to realisation that moves people closer to their potential.
