Gottstein Architects

Gottstein Architects is a Dublin-based practice interested in creating sustainable and socially responsible architecture. We were commissioned to refresh their brand identity.

The original wordmark was set in DIN, aligned right and used two different sizes. To retain a measure of brand recognition, the clients were keen to keep the same typeface, so we simplified the mark by aligning left, setting the type in one size and tightening the character spacing.

We recently put together a welcome pack for Gottstein’s new clients—this included an A4 report cover, business cards, tote bag and metre stick, all with the new wordmark applied. The recycled stock and natural materials reflect the studio’s use of low carbon materials and their ambition to minimise waste.
