Alexander Dewhirst

We engaged Alexander to do our interior design for our new office in Berlin. We have an open space office with several meeting rooms and a big kitchen for the entire team for having lunch together and working in an atmosphere that „feels like home“. First of all: communicating with Alexander is easy and efficient, he is fast and flexible in finding a solution. His pragmatism helped to keep the overview in this big project but he always kept attention to lot of details as well. We can see this in our „whiskey“ - meeting room, which is full of handpicked details. And Alexander decorated every single desk with self-made accessories, a wonderful welcome for every single person of the team. He was really creative in designing our conference rooms: the conference table of our „games room“ can be used as ping pong table, our main conference room looks like a garden, the „beach room“ is equipped with a reshaped table of surfboards. In general, he understands looking for lower-cost alternatives in suggesting many DIY - ideas. Alexander builded 2 „home trainers“ for our team - made out of two second-hand racing bikes and wooden chair frames! Ideas likes these helped us keeping the budget quite low and giving our team a cozy place to work. Thank you very much Alexander for all the energy you put into this venture - we love our office!

I have been working closely with Alexander on several of his projects, the Castle in Berlin as well as the house in Greece. Alexander ist a fast, creative and solution-oriented. He persues his ideas and concepts with a lot of energy, flexibility and pragmatism. That latter being very important when budgets are small and the timing is tight. Looking for cheap, alternative solutions to expensive, branded products is one of his specialities. It almost seems like a game for him sometimes to come up with low-cost alternatives without compromising on quality.

Before I moved into the tower apartment with my team at Castle Kreuzberg in Berlin, we required extensive modifications to the space and Alexander Dewhirst designed the optimal open plan in which we could not only work but also use the bedrooms for those members of the team who flew in from Frankfurt.

Alexander Dewhirst conceived and designed the exterior and interior of a holiday residence for us on the island of Kythera between 2010 and 2012. The interior is still being developed by him awaiting our budget release which is expected in 2015.
