Brands
At our core we are Design Entrepreneurs
At our core we are Design Entrepreneurs. Our two decades long partnership in architecture & interior design was a rollercoaster ride of incredible heights with critically acclaimed success, and spirit crushing lows when our ideas, for whatever reasons, didn’t materialize into built realty.
Just prior to the pandemic, we found ourselves at a crossroads. Do we continue operating within the service industry with all its limitations and the lack of control, or move forward into uncharted territory with the freedom to explore our ideas and bring them to fruition?
So, here we are.
Our architecture & interior design practice is now only in the service of a newly formed prefab design studio and our entrepreneurship efforts in the hospitality industry.
Why hospitality?
Simply put, hospitality is in our DNA, and not just because of our Mediterranean and Balkan roots, but because we both started working in the industry at a very young age, from the bottom up. ”Back of the house” is our wheelhouse. Later on, that understanding of the operational side of the hospitality industry contributed to designing successful hospitality establishments.
The wonderfully odd journey took us around the globe on a slew of offside locations: converting an abandoned village into agro-resort on a remote island in the South China Sea; designing one from scratch on a Croatian island; creating an award-winning vision for a pristine sandy beach in Montenegro; designing restaurants, bars, and hotels in NYC; villas on the Aegean coast, both in Greece & Turkiye; STR cabins in Catskills, NY; and the list goes on.
“Offside” is both modus and locus operandi for all our endeavors. It is a pressure filled, yet exhilarating, tight maneuvering space in which we strive to find the right balance between profit generating and socially impactful entrepreneurship.
