Interior Architecture & Bespoke Furniture Design
(what we do)
AB Studio is a Berlin-based design practice led by Alex Baumueller, specialising in hospitality interiors, residential environments, and bespoke design-build projects. The studio works across concept development, technical planning, furniture, lighting, and construction coordination to create spaces with identity, atmosphere, and long-term value.
Conceptual Design
We craft spatial narratives that define the soul of a project, and create interiors that act as cultural anchors and high-value destinations.
Technical Architecture (LP 1 - 9)
We execute the full architectural lifecycle, translating design concepts into technical documentation, permit-ready planning, and on-site coordination.
Bespoke Design-Build
We sample, prototype and build our own designs in the shop, to ensure a high level of detailing and execution quality at every scale.

(our philosophy)
Building Destinations through Architecture & Craftsmanship
At AB studio each project is approached as a complete environment where architecture, furniture, light, and materiality work together. The goal is to create spaces that are clear, warm, functional, and timeless.
We build the value of an exclusive experience, ensuring every design choice from the grain of the wood to the intensity of the light, creates a memorable story for the people who experience the space.
"With over a decade of experience across Europe and North America, I work at the intersection of architecture, craftsmanship, and storytelling, transforming ideas into environments that engage both visually and emotionally."
