The hut was situated in the middle of a vast, gently sloping meadow known as the Polonyna, surrounded by forests and mountains. Inside the hut was a squeaky bunk bed, a small dining table, two chairs, a fireplace, and a piece of fragrant bacon that someone had left behind. We fetched fresh water from a small stream that flowed across the meadow. It was a quiet and peaceful place, almost magical, and we truly enjoyed the serene silence.

With little happening around us, we had the opportunity to observe closely. What made this place so immersive for our experience? What contributed to its strong aura? Was it coherence, harmony, or balance? Was it the atmosphere we could feel with our entire being? We began to understand the fundamental importance of sound in creating a holistic experience. We realized it was no coincidence; the sound of the Polonyna was a beautifully coordinated orchestration of the sounds of life from all its inhabitants and visitors—animals and plants alike.

We contemplated whether creating a similar experience in a different context would be possible. Could these “experiential spaces” be developed not only in the mountains but also in urban environments? If we look at any spatial design as a form of communication, our vision was to facilitate space-encompassing communication that focuses on the holistic experience of atmosphere and space. We aimed to evoke a sense of physical and mental presence, expand or dissolve perceived spatial boundaries, and draw attention to aesthetic qualities rather than the technical means used to produce them.

Rather than aiming for a naturalistic reproduction or simulation of a desirable reality, we envisioned the creation of new realities. This effort would be akin to composing a work of art through auditory design, where the composition is the space. Thus, the idea for the TAUCHER design studio was born.

In the early days, we seized every opportunity to experiment with and refine our ideas through various platforms, including fashion shows, expanded cinema, research labs, performances, festivals, showrooms, brand events, art exhibitions, museums, and media installations. Over the years, our emphasis on scenographic projects and exhibition design has evolved. Today, our work intersects art, knowledge transfer, and architecture.
