Happy Architecture

Package Design

Saw for the first time the new Coca-Cola bottle design. It is simply stunning and beautiful to
hold in your hands. Of course a Coke on a nice day, there's nothing that beats it but the design
was incredible. Like no other soda package design I've ever seen before. Seamless from the bottle
to the cap. Washed it out and kept it as a sample.

modern cupcakes

When you experience a retail space, their product, service, offering, brand experience and it is all
packaged in architecture that mirrors that experience it is nothing short of brilliance. This is one of those cases as domestic architecture nailed this cupcake royal space. Perfect balance of modern,
clean lines with touch of whimsy and fun.

Concrete Kitchen

A concrete kitchen made of ultra-thin 8 mm concrete, which is sturdy yet light enough. Its heat resistance and food safety make concrete perfectly suitable for kitchens. The manufacturing of it, however, requires a certain know-how and commitment to accuracy.

Great Brand Insights : Ace Hotel

from psfk:

Engage the Creative Community
Look for imaginative and artistic ideas, and let them help co-create the brand’s authenticity.

Break the Cookie Cutter
Bring distinction into every detail. Originality stands for a lot in consumers’ eyes.

Collaborate with Likeminded Brands
Similar brands build on the strengths and attitudes of each other. Together, they represent a whole experience.

Make Everywhere Feel Local
Local culture brings life to a destination, and makes for a seamless transition in and out of each place.

Tier Your Offerings, But Make Each Special
Varied levels of engagement enhance exploration and encourage aspirations with the brand.

Push Expectations—Set a New Standard
Think ahead of expectations to tailor the experience for greater enjoyment.

More Than a Hotel: Social hub, Meeting Place
Creating a third place for social activity inspires conversation and organic growth to build community.
