Brickell Airbnb

“I can’t thank Valé Architects enough for the work they did for me.  I said I wanted Spanish and modern, and from there they put together something I’m in love with... we gotta do another one, I think Jamaica should be the next one.”

CHALLENGE

To create a design concept based around an existing F&B brief.

RESULT

Rather than creating a concept that was overly detailed without the client's buy-in, we created stylescapes that capture the story of the end user, the F&B brief they had already brought into and the kind of design that would turn ideas into realities.

Each Stylescape told a unique brand story that captured the user, the brand attributes, architecture, fixtures and furniture.

Stylescapes and Userscapes are apart of Valé unique pre-concept design process to move from ideas to targeted concepts faster than traditional design methods.
