When communities need to come together – in a space that enables more than standard meetings.
Projektraum Drahnsdorf is a historic estate in Brandenburg, consciously developed over more than 12 years as a place for teams who want more than functional rooms and tight schedules. Built in 1860 and surrounded by five hectares of open land, it offers something rare: scale and atmosphere.
You arrive directly by train from Berlin. Seventy-five minutes later, a five-minute walk brings you into a village of 350 people, orchards, forests, and long sightlines. The shift is immediate — not just geographically, but mentally.
Here, large groups don’t disappear into corridors or identical seminar rooms. They spread out. They gather again. Work happens in barns, kitchens, gardens, and rooms that carry history — clay walls, antique furniture, natural light that changes through the day. This is not a hotel. It’s an environment designed to influence how people think, speak, and decide together.


Many venues rely on historic charm — an old hall, a barn, a manor — and sometimes that alone can work. For us, it isn’t sufficient, because we see space as an active force rather than a neutral backdrop. Environments shape how people think, decide, and collaborate, often without them noticing. Neuroscientist Esther Sternberg’s research shows that spaces with visible history, patina, and intentional material choices encourage perspective-taking and long-term thinking. When a space carries a story, it subtly reshapes how people behave and create within it.

Andrea spent years searching for what gives certain spaces their emotional pull, moving through architecture and philosophy before realizing something essential was missing. Through movement-based training at Tamalpa in California, she discovered how creativity flows from inner sensing into outward expression, with the body acting as the bridge between inner and outer space. This embodied understanding now helps teams become more aligned, purposeful, and creative together. Cyrus, meanwhile, was drawn early to spaces that transform people, from ancient theaters to modern learning environments. As a stage designer and media creator, he focused on turning spaces from passive backgrounds into active enablers of thinking and change.

Both journeys have merged in Projektraum Drahnsdorf since 2012, where spaces are not merely renovated but consciously staged. Andrea contributes the transformative, experiential layer, while Cyrus shapes the physical and visual design. Light, materials, and textures are chosen for emotional and psychological impact — from 150-year-old clay walls to historically sourced wood and furniture. Each room develops its own character through intention rather than decoration.



For teams seeking more than a pre-existing atmosphere, we collaborate with stage designer Christina Heurig (heartmill.com) to create entirely new spatial worlds. Her background in film and theater allows environments to emerge from light, textures, objects, and spatial composition. This approach translates seamlessly into corporate settings, whether for a kickoff with a distinct visual identity, an immersive retreat, or a team event that lingers in memory. The result is a space that feels intentional, immersive, and unmistakably its own.
