architecture & scenography

Studioacht combines architecture, art installations, and corporate design in numerous projects, developing holistic visual representations for brands and companies. For Milchbar (or Milch und Bar), the branding was designed and implemented by Suzanne Faltenbacher. The graphically striking logo features a broad red bar in the center, above and below it on a white background, with the Milch und Bar brand name in black lettering. Red color and red lighting for all clubs at the various locations remain the unmistakable trademark of Milchbar to this day. The architect took her artistic graphic design and transferred the corporate identity—with its red bar in the center and black lettering above and below on a white background—as oversized billboards on the walls of the industrial hall in Kunstpark Ost. This is where the first Milchbar was created. The space was bathed in red light from red-coated fluorescent tubes, which formed a fine line of light above the surrounding 4-meter-high graphic billboard. The bar's logo is featured on the staff's T-shirts, drinking glasses, and invitations. Further projects combining architecture and corporate design include Café Mirabelle, Club Raum 8, Café Atlas, Freibad Café, Segafredo Bar, Café Blue, Restaurant Königingarten, and Club Sudhaus, Café Mirabelle and nachtstudio. Over the years, the architect has repeatedly combined architecture and art installations in her commissioned works, created for institutions and in public spaces.
