Retail spaces are undergoing a continued and noticeable transformation, becoming more relevant, connected, and engaging for today’s shoppers.

We recently wrapped up a design project for our good friends at Udemy, transforming their Dublin workspace. The opportunity to create a space that not only embraces their team but also fosters connection and collaboration was exciting for both them as clients and for us as the design team. We aimed to build something that would complement their existing culture and bring teams together in a meaningful way.

Here is a background look at our exploratory process when it comes to a concept design. This was for a cosmetics brand. As a studio we invest a lot of R&D, team time and focus into a concept. Some win and some don’t, but through the creative process the team time which goes into each isn’t wasted, the learnings get carried forward and evolve into something new… There is a book in the making of celebrated pitches lost!

Earlier this year, we delivered our first project in Decentraland. With some experience under our belts designing spaces in the metaverse, this was the studios first pass delivering a project on this platform, and while it came with a whole new gambit of challenges and learnings, it paid back in spades when it came to opportunity and potentials for an elevated visitor experience to the space.
