THE SWISS BUREAU STUDIO

At Swiss Bureau, our designers are more than project executors—they’re thinkers, explorers, and storytellers. Studio Concepts is a curated collection of ideas born from passion, curiosity, and creative freedom. These aren’t commissioned works—they’re experiments, moodboards, unbuilt proposals, and design moments that reflect who we are when no one’s watching.

Here, you’ll find the raw sketches, visual explorations, and conceptual studies that fuel our built environments. It’s where design starts—with emotion, instinct, and the courage to try something new.

The unseen side of the studio.

Step into the mind of an SBID designer, who loves dripping in jewels.

For this Swiss Bureau Studio piece, the inspiration is a well-known jewelry brand and how our designers would approach a redesign.

As we love to do here at SBID, this design focuses on enhancing the office functionality and efficiency.

The new design would focus on creating a timeless environment that aligns with the company’s brand identity (a pivotal aspect when designing for office spaces).

Emphasizing elegance and sophistication, the design must reflect the brand’s modern yet enduring aesthetic, incorporating luxurious materials, thoughtful detailing, and a refined color palette. The office will also prioritize collaboration, employee well-being, and workflow optimization. By integrating these elements, the expanded space will offer a high-performance workspace that embodies the brand’s core valu values of elegance, innovation, and timeless design.

Above, you can see the newly imagines space, from the workspace and offices to the cafe that promotes collaboration.

“Every great design starts with a sketch.”

With new tools coming out everyday, it’s easy to get caught up in the high-tech side of design.

While we embrace innovation, we make sure to balance it out with traditional methods of the past.

It is pertinent that a designer has the skills of pencil and paper because it allows for quick idea exploration, visual communication, and a deeper understanding of spatial concepts.

Leading by example, Joakim often explains his thoughts and ideas through sketches …. here’s a couple of them!
