WANNSEE VILLA / GARDEN EXHIBITION
/ EXHIBITION DESIGN /

The Wannsee Villa is a beautiful villa with lush gardens sloping down to the shores of the picturesque Wannsee in Berlin. But it comes with a dark history: in 1942, it housed the notorious Wannsee Conference, when the technicalities of putting the ‚final solution‘ into practice were decided. The villa is now a memorial and museum.

To welcome guests in the courtyard during the busy summer months, we designed the displays for a temporary garden exhibition on the troubled history of the Wannsee, a wealthy neighbourhood with splendid villas – many of which belonged to Jewish families and were misappropriated by the Nazi regime. Underpinning a timeless, classic design, we developed a colour scheme of red versus blue to signify a Nazi and/or Jewish history of the buildings.
