Spaces can convey content, evoke emotions and thus "tell a story." Built geometries and materials, light and media, texture and acoustics are the protagonists through which these stories unfold. My ideas emerge and evolve at the intersection of storytelling and architecture, fine arts and object design. I am passionate about exploring the potential within these disciplines, merging them to create original and unique compositions. My goal is to develop a unity of built, atmospheric and emotional space.
This process of discovery leads to extraordinary and often unexpected interpretations of space, exceeding mere pragmatic requirements. Through close collaboration with my clients, my work always reflects their aspirations, translating them into an architectural vision with an engaging user experience. A collaborative approach with clients, craftsmen, consultants and specialists enables me to challenge standard typologies and take innovative steps in production – always striving for the highest standards in execution.
With over 20 years of experience in projects of various scales, I offer comprehensive architectural services, from concept to execution. Additionally, exhibition, interior and furniture design are integral parts of my portfolio.
Boris Banozic works predominantly in the field of residential building, interior design and scenography. He passed his architectural diploma in Munich and continued his study at the Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main. There he started his engagement with the relations inbetween architecture, the visual arts and graphic design under the guidance of his professors Peter Cook and Enric Miralles. The poetic approach and the expressive formal language of the two architects shaped his notion of contemporary architecture.
In the first 3 years of his professional life he worked for Atelier Markgraph in Frankfurt. There he could apply his knowledge and creativity in various projects (scenography, fair design, exhibition design) for the first time. The urge for a more progressive and experimental fusion of space and design, led him to the decision to start his own studio in the year 2000. His first projects were a house in Zadar/Croatia (2003-2005) and an observation tower for the `Weatherpark´ in Offenbach (2004). It was followed by experimental stagedesigns for Adidas (2005), the Alte Oper Frankfurt (2006) and the Jewish Museum Berlin (2011-2022). For the exhibtion `40 years Stroemfeld/Roter Stern publishing house´ he represented its history in the form of a scattered star (2010). The radical fusion of graphics and space, that he implemented for the Stuttgart flight simulation center (2011), approved in retrospect to be an important stage for the development of the 3sat TV studios Kulturzeit, nano and scobel (2016), whose architecture is respectively derived from the logo of their on air design (2016). From 2017 to 2020 he led the team of Cheil MDLab as the Executive Creative Director, responsible for the strategic and creative development of retail and exhibition spaces for Samsung.
