Situated in Munich’s Westend district, mokum marks the first independent project by Studio J. Braunfels - a restaurant created in close collaboration with a young, ambitious team and a clear architectural vision. The design reflects the studio’s commitment to simplicity, material presence, and human connection.
The interior reflects Studio J. Braunfels‘ commitment to authenticity, tactile materials and spatial clarity. The design follows a clear, restrained language, guided by one idea: to create different zones within a single room, each offering comfort, intimacy and quiet presence.
Within a small footprint, the space is structured into distinct zones, each offering a quiet sense of comfort and a unique dining experience. At its centre stands the bar, opening directly onto the kitchen, forming a visual and emotional connection between guest, team, and food. The atmosphere is defined by warm textures, thoughtful restraint, and a spatial rhythm that allows the dining experience to take centre stage.

An apartment in Munich-Schwabing, designed with clarity, calm and lasting intention.Historic details, enduring materials and timeless design pieces come together to create a space that feels quiet and authentic, and is built for everyday life. Some areas where left open for the owners to bring their own life and story into the space, adding pieces of personal value.
Each project tells a story of its own context and client. Our role is to translate values into space – with calm precision, material depth and long-lasting resonance. We believe architecture should not dominate, but hold and support everyday life.
The brief for this project was a kitchen within an existing residential apartment in Munich. Rather than treating the kitchen as an isolated element, the design was developed with the larger spatial context in mind, even where that context remained outside the scope of the commission. The intention was to create something that felt considered within the whole, not added to it.
The kitchen is organised around a clear material contrast between warm smoked oak and brushed steel, with a travertine island that anchors the space and defines the transition between cooking and living. The client's wish for a space that carries the quiet presence of a bar informed the proportions and the way surfaces meet, without referencing that typology directly.
