Longevity Stuttgart: Interiors Engineered for Healthspan
If you are researching longevity Stuttgart options — spaces designed to measurably support sleep, stress and respiratory health — this page sets out what our studio delivers in the city. Sabina Malikova Design Office has already completed the LOKMATAS project in Stuttgart and takes further commissions here through its proven remote-plus-site-visit model. Every engagement applies the Longevity by Design methodology: four pillars, each with a number attached.
A completed project in Stuttgart: LOKMATAS
Stuttgart is not a hypothetical market for the studio. The LOKMATAS project, completed in Stuttgart, sits within a documented portfolio of 19+ projects across Germany, Turkiye, the UK and Azerbaijan. Delivery follows the same model that produced Longevity Rooms Frankfurt from the Ankara headquarters: concept, technical drawings and supplier coordination handled remotely, with structured site visits at the milestones where physical presence changes the outcome — survey, mid-fit-out inspection and final commissioning. Clients in Stuttgart work directly with founder Sabina Malikova, an interior architect (Bilkent BFA, 2013) who established the office in 2017, with bases in Ankara, London and Baku.
Why air and light metrics matter in a valley city
Stuttgart's basin topography has made air quality a long-running civic topic, which makes the methodology's IAQM pillar directly relevant: HEPA-13 filtration with mechanical ventilation and heat recovery, targeting indoor PM2.5 below the WHO 2021 guideline of 5 ug/m3 regardless of what the street outside is doing. The remaining pillars are equally specific. CLCI programs circadian lighting at 4000–5000K by day and 2200–2700K in the evening — an approach supported by Figueiro et al. (2020), where circadian-effective light improved sleep-quality scores by roughly one third in a randomized trial. AHR holds habitable rooms under 55 dB, in line with WHO Europe 2018 noise guidelines.
What a Stuttgart commission looks like
Engagements begin with a baseline assessment of the existing space — light spectra, particulate levels, acoustic readings, material inventory — before any design work starts, so improvement can be verified rather than asserted. The BCS pillar requires at least three natural elements in each primary room, drawing on Hunter et al. (2019), which measured cortisol declining about 21% per hour of nature contact. Studio project data shows what this produces elsewhere: a 240 m2 Ankara residence recorded +38% sleep improvement and a 29% PSS-10 stress reduction in 2025. Residences, medical practices and workplaces in Stuttgart are all within scope.
Frequently asked questions
Does Sabina Malikova Design Office work on longevity Stuttgart projects?
Yes. The studio has completed the LOKMATAS project in Stuttgart and accepts new commissions in the city. Work is delivered through a remote-plus-site-visit model — the same approach used to deliver Longevity Rooms Frankfurt from the Ankara headquarters — with offices in Ankara, London and Baku.
What does the Longevity by Design methodology measure?
Four pillars, each with a target: CLCI circadian lighting (4000–5000K day, 2200–2700K evening), BCS biophilia (minimum three natural elements per room), IAQM air quality (HEPA-13 with MVHR, PM2.5 below the WHO 5 ug/m3 guideline) and AHR acoustics (under 55 dB, per WHO Europe 2018).
Is there evidence that this kind of design changes health outcomes?
Peer-reviewed research underpins each pillar: Figueiro et al. (2020) found circadian lighting improved sleep-quality scores by about a third; Hunter et al. (2019) measured cortisol falling roughly 21% per hour in nature. Studio project data adds context: an Ankara residence logged +38% sleep improvement post-handover.
