Orby is the Conran Shop’s restaurant in Azabudai, Tokyo.

AE77 is an emerging brand from American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. It is a new premium denim brand for men and women inspired by the convergence of artistic vision and a planet-first mindset.

Inspired by the work of Donald Judd and Japanese woodcraft, we approached the store design by using simple materials and reclaimed design elements throughout. Displays of vintage radios, books and sculptures are intended to complement AE77’s story on classic and timeless design.

The office is designed for 300+ employees.

We were task to create a prototype cafe with a sustainability mind set and pushing forward the message of the company in general. For example - after covid - lots of blue bowl where not used and were over produced, so we decided to work with a vendor that transformed the excess of blue bowls into our dining room chairs.

The first cafe was implemented in Florida.

Human Robot is named for the two styles of beer the team brews. Human refers to the classic, European-style beers, while the Robot side is a reference to more modern, out-there techniques that yield hazy IPAs and crazy stouts.

The space is designed on a similar contrasting idea; row and clean, black and white, round and square.

Part of an effort to redefine Panera Bread for the age of the all-day cafe, the design for this first true new ground-up concept for the company puts Panera’s bakery component forward, refocusing attention on the quality and freshness of made-in-store offerings.

The design considered everything from uniforms to wayfinding, graphics and menus, furniture and architecture to help tell the same cohesive story.

Located in the heart of a pedestrian mall, the building is broken down into two distinct volumes and plays with the them of interior/exterior.

In the project’s hip-roofed volume, the storefront is integrated into the dining area by becoming an integral piece of furniture itself. A communal table sits at the base of a series of large windows, allowing customers to sit inside or outside, and facing the same table.

In the project’s second volume, the façade is pushed back from the Lease Line to allow for an exterior built-in banquette with table and chairs. This further activates the building’s exterior where no outdoor seating would have otherwise been allowed, and lets customers take advantage of the ideal San Diego, CA climate.

The owner of a classic stone house in the suburb of Philadelphia was looking to add a family room, a master bedroom and bathroom as well as a powder room and a laundry room of their existing family house.

To enjoy the beautiful garden the owner with a boho style wanted to create a lounge, a place to rest and enjoy the tree and the garden view at all season. The family room is sunken into the ground.

Space 24 Twenty is a shared center for retail, local pop-up marketplaces, live music, events, and dining in the heart of “The Drag” on Guadalupe Street across from the University of Texas. Rooted in celebrating what’s unique about the local community, it’s a community-driven space for bringing together Austin artists, creatives, musicians and designers. Austin’s Space 24 Twenty is anchored by its central courtyard, a meeting place for locals to gather and the hub of the Space’s outdoor concerts and events.

Urban Outfitters - Herald Square - is located in New York City, on Broadway and 35th Street. This 60,000sqft megastore, divided into 3 stories, is Urban Outfitters’ answer to the department store. In addition to showcasing everything the Urban brand has to offer, the project incorporates additional Hospitality and retail programs – namely a café and hair salon. Both the 1,500sqft café and Hairroin, the hair salon, are located on the ground floor. Each has its own storefront facing the street, as well as direct entrances into the store’s main sales floor, where a selection of Women, Men and Home products can be found.

Anthropologie & Co. presents a brand-concept shopping experience throughout 35,000 sf of the historic Tudor-style Bedford Square building. The concept combined multiple store in store with a large beauty selection, Anthropologie Home, BHLDN, Terrain, and an Amis restaurant.

The floors are connected with a custom steel and concrete grand stairway that connects all three floors and establishes the store's focal point. In addition to preserving much of the original mansion’s brick and the exposed wood rafters, a large skylight has been added above the stair case to bring natural light from the top floor to reach down to the level below the street. Stunning interior details echo the brand’s emphasis on craftsmanship, artistry, and sustainability.

Hairroin hair salon is located within the Urban Outfitters large-format store in Herald Square, NYC.

Founded in 2005 by Janine Jarman in Los Angeles, the brand had a strong identity by the time she was ready to open her second salon. Janine had a great vision for her NYC location, and we worked with her to help bring it to life.

The shell of the space is kept raw, and the fixtures become the feature. A found walnut ticket booth from a historic theater is re-purposed into a register station that opens to both Hairroin and the Urban Outfitters store. Helmet hair dryers are built into a sculptural tree structure at the center of the space, which also serves as a banquette. Open shelves line the back wall of the space from floor to ceiling, and an apothecary-style ladder provides access. Black chandeliers hang from the unfinished plaster ceiling.

At Space Ninety 8 in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY, art, shopping, events, and dining come together under one roof within a five-story palace that combines retail, galleries, a restaurant, rooftop bar and gathering place, and an ever-evolving pop-up roster curated for the community.

The first Urban to house a full-service restaurant and bar with a full liquor license, it features an open kitchen concept with a large wood-fired grill as the centerpiece.

On the roof deck, an outdoor bar and lounge allow diners and shoppers alike to spend an afternoon or evening. In nicer weather, movies are projected on the large wall that houses the elevator machine room.

Retail space occupies the first three floors. The basement houses a flexible space that is home to pop-up shops, art shows, and events. The ground floor, known as the Marketplace, hosts a curated product selection by rotating local vendors.

Originally designed as an Intelligentsia Coffee shop, the space was re-branded into an Urban Outfitters-run cafe, simply called UO Cafe. The design transformed the existing shop with a new branding identity package playing with a classic theme of the city - I LOVE NY.

The owner of a classic Lower Merion stone colonial was looking to create an open floorplan for modern living. Key structural moves allowed for an interior bearing wall between the living room and kitchen to be removed, and for existing exterior door and window openings to be widened. The kitchen was relocated to the front of the house.

The result was a large and bright living space with the kitchen at the heart of it.

A garage at the rear of the house blocked expansive views to the garden and park beyond. By converting the garage into living space, and punching large openings into the rear stone wall for windows, a bright and airy living space was reclaimed for the house.

Designed for a regional brand looking to develop cafe concepts in urban locations, this project considers closely the flow of customers through its floorplan. From ordering to browsing to pickup, the experience and offerings are focused on serving high volumes of people in an authentic city environment.

Coffee takes front and center with a large central coffee bar where orders can be placed from inside or outside the store. A storefront window and countertop allows for customers to order and take things to go without stepping foot inside.

A complete package, the design considered everything from interiors design to fixtures, graphics, wayfinding, employee uniforms and the brand’s logo.

A second look at the cafe concept for urban locations, this version encourages customers to sit and stay by offering a classic diner and lunch counter-inspired space for enjoying a meal.

Balancing an expectation for high volumes at lunch time, with a desire to expand the coffee focus, the design is engineered for traffic while also offering spaces for occupying and lingering. The storefront encourages activity by offering seating at an exterior counter connected to the interior coffee bar.
