Boosting happiness levels through design

Our aim is to transform bland, uninspiring offices to comfortable, functional, motivating environments.
People spend a large percentage of their lives in the workspace. We love designing offices especially for that fact - we can have a big impact on a lot of people, with each space we transform.
We've seen the effects our work has on teams... Employees become proud of the companies they work for, there is more collaboration and team spirit, and ultimately the people are happier and more productive. Seeing this makes our work truly satisfying.

Alexis Bainger
Creative Director

Alexis puts the Bainger (and danger) in Baingerous-Spaces. Hailing from rural South Australia / a long way from anywhere, she had to learn to be resourceful, and was up-cycling junk in her Dad's tin shed since about the age of four.

Having studied Visual Communication (Graphic Design) in Australia and Spain, she lived and freelanced as a designer in London, Granada, Lisbon, Lagos and Hamburg before stumbling on Berlin.
Through years of working in studios, co-working spaces, client offices and cafes she became increasingly aware and interested in which environments she favoured and how they effected her motivation and productivity.
This interest eventually lead her into part-time role as a Happiness Officer at Ecosia.org, where she gained insights and experience in shaping company culture and work environments, to make more productive teams.
Now, combining all her acquired knowledge and experience as a Designer and a Happiness officer, she's found her sweet spot - designing awesome office spaces.
Her other projects include Goodtimeslagos.com and the creative charity project Littledudes.de

Michael Kraftzyk
Production lead

Born in the east of Germany before the wall came down, Micha grew up in a world of life hacks and improvisation. He spent many years restoring the family farmhouse with his father, which built the foundation of his mechanical and handwork skills. It was also there that his interest in design sparked. He spent a lot of time rearranging his room - in that farmhouse and in each new apartment he lived, but never really considered it as a career option. Until, after several years of sitting behind a desk to study or work, he eventually realised he might be more suited to building desks than sitting at one.

Alexis noticed his skills and potential and recruited him to join her in transforming office spaces. Since then he's helped realise a range of different projects - corporate and residential, indoor and outdoor.
Alexis and Micha make a good team - combining their different skill-sets and knowledge they manage to come up with some pretty clever and unique solutions.

Mauro Franceschetti
Production sidekick

Mauro, born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, was a curious child. He was always questioning how things worked, from how a door locks, to how an aeroplane flies. His Grandfather was a Musician and Photographer and although they never met, Mauro inherited the photographic knowledge, cameras and some instruments. From then his love for photography bloomed.
His general curiosity and tinkering, meant he spent a lot of time figuring things out and fixing them. Eventually, this turned him into a self taught, all-round craftsman. He can now assist in almost any task, from installing lights, to painting and dressing walls, to building custom furniture.
His creativity and eye for composition has not gone to waste either. He uses it to help Alexis style the spaces.
