House of B Store / Another D Studio

May 8, 2024 Hana Abdel 0

We believe a brand’s core identity is created through the values of brand founders. We worked to expand and deepen the meaning of the brand by actualizing the identity that was formerly presented on a product and service level. The brand ‘Workerbee’ communicates with consumers through its product, which is regionally produced honey. And. with their mascot ‘Kerbee,’ the main messages of ‘Save the Bees.’ and ‘Honey makes it better.’ are given life. Kerber, who takes a step into this world with the wings of honeybees, doesn’t exist physically, but as a mascot of the brand, adds vitality to the brand.

Venice, the essence of this experience lies in wandering through the streets of Venice. Walking along the streets, entering beautiful shops for shopping, dining in restaurants with delicious aromas, and continuing along the path until encountering St. Marco’s Square—all these pedestrian experiences constitute the experience of the city itself. This holds true for most cities worldwide. A city is its streets, and streets define a city. The late Korean architect, Guyon Chung once said, “To walk this street is to become part of its history.” Walking the streets means becoming part of the city’s history.

Ummahat 9-3 Hotel, Café and Restaurant / Kengo Kuma & Associates

April 25, 2024 Hana Abdel 0

Our design approach for the Ummahat AlShaykh island project, situated in the Red Sea, was deeply rooted in the site’s unique characteristics, fostering a philosophy of seamless integration with the surrounding landscape. Despite the challenges presented by the delicate environment, our site-specific approach guided us in crafting low, horizontally oriented Land Villas with gently curved roofs mirroring the natural sand dunes. This design not only ensures guest privacy but also harmonizes with the island’s topography, minimizing sand infill and preserving its natural shape.
