Ester at Leaders in Architecture & Design Conference

Ester participated in a panel discussion about Storytelling in Hospitality Design. She disrupted the anticipated conversation by challenging what we mean by "storytelling" in design. She explained that too often "story" might not be integral to the design and is cringe-worthy decoration that seems fake, and dreamed up by committees that do not actually design anything. She argued for a more authentic and nuanced "story" that is integral to the specific space, the location of the hotel, or the cuisine of the chef - something that comes from careful listening to all the influences on a design. She explained that EBA uses design to make a customized experience that is less decorative and is more authentic.

Peter at the Leaders in Architecture and Design Conference

Peter was on a panel discussion about the Office of the Future. He spoke about how technology has, at least for the last hundred years, changed the space of the office. One of Peter's mentors, Robert Luchetti, had written about this relationship in his seminal 1984 article "Your Office is Where You Are" where he anticipated how the cellphone would liberate employees from being tethered to their landline. Current technologies, especially AGI, will have a similar revolutionary effect - freeing the workplace from repetitive process work and turning it into brainstorming centers where strategy and creativity should be encouraged.

RELAXOUND featured in special issue of FRAME

EBA's design for RELAXOUND is featured in FRAME Magazine's special Issue on "The state and future of spatial design." The project was awarded "Small Office of the Year." From the text: "the design goes beyond functionality to create inclusive spaces that engage the senses, cater to different needs and work styles, while subtly reflecting the brand in a meaningful way." And it concludes "it's as sustainable as it is timeless."
