AvroKO Cheap Men's All Black Air Max 720 KPU TPU Shoes , a design and concept firm, focusing on architecture and interior design, has created an enormous impact in very little time since their establishment in 2001. In just 17 years they have made their place in the competitive world of design, with offices in four major business hubs in the world; New York, San Francisco, Bangkok and London, they have made a difference in over 25 cities around the world.
AvroKO designs are intricately weaved with an innovative awareness of today鈥檚 needs and principles that are grounded by a sense of purpose and belonging. Their spaces have a familiarity of going through an experience of being told a time-honored story Cheap Men's Gold Black Air Max 720 Sneakers , and at the same time the elements of design appear in conversation defying that familiarity with an element of surprise; while existing in a perfect balance. When entering a space designed by AvroKO, the first feature that engages one鈥檚 eye is the lighting, be it natural or strategically placed, it becomes evident that an enormous attention to detail was spent on lighting.
Spaceez takes great pleasure in presenting this interesting mix of opinions and views about the AvroKo鈥檚 design philosophies, while in conversation with all four of the firm鈥檚 principals; Kristina O鈥橬eal, Greg Bradshaw, Adam Farmerie and William Harris
Our firm is headquartered in NYC with offices in London, San Francisco and Bangkok. Since our inception in 2001, we have approached our projects from a truly holistic perspective with a top down application of concept and a seamless integration of operations and design. As such, we have a diverse team of amazing talents to help us achieve our goals, from strategists and branding specialists to graphic designers, furniture and lighting designers, interior designers Cheap Men's All Black Air Max 720 Trainers , restaurant operators, chefs, and mixologists. Hospitality has always been our passion and specialty. As owners and operators of our own restaurants and bars we literally eat, breathe, and sleep the hospitality world. -William Harris.
Our philosophy and goal is to bring our unique 鈥淗ospitable Thinking鈥?process to the world of food and beverage and beyond to create environments that are delightful, meaningful and innovative. Being hospitable is to truly care for someone, and we love that a little more thought and sincere care in the design can perhaps help some people be just a bit happier. -Kristina O鈥橬eal.
Where do you draw your inspiration from? Is there a particular person or place you turn to for inspiration?
For us inspiration can come from anywhere; from art Cheap Men's Air Max 720 Aurora Borealis Shoes , literature, fashion, history or the very un-designed back alleys of far-off villages around the world. Fortunately, our inspirations tend to come from the slightly offbeat and unassuming places. In a world where designers are increasingly being inspired solely by other design, not unlike art about art, we are conversely looking to make surprising connections to keep the design dialogue moving forward. -Greg Bradshaw.
In your opinion what makes your design firm stand out from other hospitality design firms?
Through layered concepts, programmatic synergies Cheap Men's Yellow Orange Air Max 720 Sunset Shoes , thoughtful details, strong brand awareness, and an integrated, holistic approach, we hope to make spaces that have a deeper sense of soul and authenticity. People tend to say that they feel really good when they are in our spaces, which is possibly the best compliment. Sometimes they might not even be sure exactly why, but if everything comes together one can really feel it. And when people feel good Cheap Men's Desert Gold Black Air Max 720 Sneakers , they tend to enjoy themselves more. And when they enjoy themselves more the food tastes better, the drinks are that much more refreshing, and ultimately the overall experience is that much more memorable and worth sharing. -Adam Farmerie.
What is your favorite (hospitality) design project completed by your or any firm?
This is very hard to answer, but we love one of our owned-and-operated projects, Genuine Liquorette. This is a great example of a project that was done purely with fun and excitement and the idea of 鈥渨hat-if鈥?in our minds. It was our completely unpretentious, welcoming, democratic Cheap Men's Air Max 720 Triple Black Shoes , and lighthearted counterpoint to the increasingly serious and intellectualized world of cocktail culture (which of course we still love as well!). -William Harris, principal
The programmatic details are what makes the space a little magical. Our favorite is our custom contraption we call the 鈥淐ha-Chunker.鈥?We love how analog it feels, and it brings us all back to our grade school shop days. It鈥檚 a customized arbor press that helps to create our signature Cha-Chunker cocktails where the openings in small beverage cans are widened by the press to allow small liquor bottles to fit upended into them. It鈥檚 all very basic but visually delightful鈥nd tasty! -Adam Farmerie.
Are you currently working on anything exciting that you would like to share with us?
Besides GENUINE Liquorette expanding to new cities, we are also incredibly excited about two of our other NYC-born brands making their way out in the world. Our American bar and grill, Saxon + Parole, will be making its way to New Zealand next year as part of an exciting new food hall we are concepting in Auckland. And our festive tequila and mezcal bar, Ghost Donkey Cheap Men's Air Max 720 Green Carbon Shoes , will also be debuting in Las Vegas as part of the Block 16 food hall we are developing with Cosmopolitan Hotel. -Kristina O鈥橬eal.
