The studio was established in 2009. It is a creative, full service design firm specializing in hospitality, commercial, retail and residential experiences. The studio is made up of a team of dynamic designers led by Jeremy Levitt and Danu Kennedy. A variety of experience and perspectives has established a unique culture within the studio and ensures thoughtful, purposeful and transformative design with a forward-thinking approach behind every creation. Each project begins with a collaborative immersion and discovery phase into our partner’s and client’s brand and vision. A conceptual narrative drives the design of each space and establishes fundamental touch points within. Considering all elements of the guest experience the studio focuses on integrated programming and functionality paired with highly customized furniture and lighting giving each space a distinct personality and identity that is entirely own-able and unique. Every detail and decision is made in order to create a holistic and tailored experience that aligns with the ethos of our clients and partners.
