Located in Brooklyn New York, the Liquid Death experience encapsulates users in a immersive and cult like dining experience that is sophisticated and dark. Liquid Death is a brand of water unlike any other. They focus and thrive on edgy and dark marketing for selling refreshing cans of water and tea. While also trying to harm the planet a little less by using only recycled metal cans as opposed to plastic which isn’t really properly recycled anymore. They also fund and hold events for clean ups and education on how you can “join the cult” and “sell you soul” to help do your part in stopping plastic waste. Users will be guided and initiated through a short entry tunnel and lowered ceiling space that leads to a breath-taking castle like dining hall. A moody and modern take on gothic, punk rock and castle influences. The space draws inspiration from the sophisticated colors, gothic and punk rock atmospheres presented in liquid death’s branding. The goal of the space is to create a dining experience that is strikingly bold and edgy but done so with refinement. An experience that is memorable through conceptuality and design.

A soft space that is easy on the eyes and comfortable to settle into. Inspired by the design and elements of Scandinavian and Japanese styles. Functional and simplistic design that is clean and easy to navigate. A space built to last through time. The palette is on the softer side with some accents to add in some pops of color.

A human centric workspace for the neurodivergent, with thoughtful space planning and sensory considerations. Furthermore, the inclusion of strategically placed biophilic elements aid in boosting productivity and wellbeing, creating a space that is easy on the eyes and mind.

Luxury residence in Naples that reflects upon a trip to Mykonos and inspired by the natural beauty of the beachfront. The blend of Greek design elements with softer colors gives the residence a comforting atmosphere. Thoughtfully crafted to feel intuitive and easy to navigate. The residence welcomes you into a time of relaxation and revitalization.
