The work of Bruzkus Greenberg blends conceptual clarity with logical planning, surprising color combinations, contrasts of opulence and minimalism, and careful material detailing. Ester Bruzkus founded the Berlin-based practice in 2002 and since 2016 has been working in partnership with Peter Greenberg. The name of the practice was changed to Bruzkus Greenberg in 2025. Their international award-winning portfolio focuses on the design of the interior and includes work at different scales – furniture design, restaurants, hotels, private residences, workplaces, and exhibit design. Their work combines expertise from one practice area with another to become a cool and comfortable hybrid, creating boxes within boxes, rooms within rooms, the blurring of inside and out, material contrasts, and plenty of surprises.
Ester Bruzkus was raised in Berlin and studied architecture at the TU Berlin and the Ècole Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Paris-Belleville; Peter Greenberg was raised in New York City and studied architecture at Yale University and Harvard Graduate School of Design. The two met while they were both teaching the Berlin studio of the Wentworth Institute of Technology (Boston).
We like working with straight lines, precise planning, material differences, and plenty of surprises.
We like contrasts of thick and thin, sharp and soft, curved and straight, rough and smooth, common and opulent, colorful and restrained, playful and well-resolved.
We like projects that create a dialogue of space and light, materiality and color, existing constraints and new opportunities - and especially a synergy between the needs of the space, the client, and the aspirations of great design.
We like boxes within boxes, rooms within rooms, the blurring of inside and out, material contrasts, and surprising color combinations.
We like collecting - we collect images and colors that speak to our heart and combine them in our own way.
We find inspiration in lots of places... old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows...
