The Living Room by Octave is the adaptive re-use of an historic structure into a 21,500-square foot educational and wellness center plus restaurant. The project is a hub for services including early childhood development programs, family therapy, art therapy, yoga, body works, a health-oriented restaurant and teaching kitchen, and a small-scale urban farm. In addition to designing the architecture and interiors, we worked in partnership with the client Octave to conceive the project, shape its program, and then brand its services.
