air up
In 2022, we partnered with air up to design their new headquarters near Munich’s Ostbahnhof. The new Flavor Lab and Makerspace enable the team to refine flavors and rapidly prototype their scent-based bottle system, which uses aroma pods to create the perception of taste through scent.

Project highlights
SLA provides an end-to-end service for projects, starting with understanding the workflow of our clients to handing over an operational facility.
Discover
Through our network with the property developers at Rhode+Schwarz, we were able to help air up secure this dream location. The location was only very briefly on the market and we quickly made sure, that all lab and makerspace requirements can be created in this office building.
Working closely with our clients helped us understand the workflow and preferences of the team. The zoning and workspace positions were discussed in great detail with the client’s teams during our Discover workshop. We went through many variations and derived the final floor layout while constantly involving the respective teams.

Build
We designed two lab kitchens – the Flavor Lab and Quality Testing combining technical precision with a clean, modern aesthetic that reflects the surrounding spaces.
Makerspaces & Hackathon Area
At air up’s HQ, we built a functional makerspace for rapid prototyping with 3D printers and crafting tools, complemented by a flexible hackathon zone for collaboration and experimentation—fostering seamless creativity between research, design, and production.
