Räume der Kraft nähren die Seele und steigern das Wohlbefinden.
Welcome – it's great to have you here.
I'm Nicole Gottschall – a visionary spatial strategist, wellbeing ambassador and pioneer for interiors that do more than just look good:
they touch you. They nourish you. They have an effect.
For over 30 years, I have been helping builders, investors and architects to create spaces that not only function, but also leave a lasting impression.
My journey began in the traditional way – as an interior designer with my own design studio in Zurich.
But over time, my perspective has sharpened: away from the purely aesthetic and towards the essential.
Today, I translate corporate identities into spatial effects. With decades of design expertise and knowledge from research and teaching on wellbeing, spatial perception and neuroaesthetics.
