About the Project

NovaTech approached us to redefine their brand identity as they transitioned into a more global and innovation-driven company. Their existing branding lacked personality and didn’t reflect their mission of simplifying technology for modern businesses. Our goal was to create a brand system that’s bold, confident, and flexible across digital and print platforms.

About the Client

Framer is a Berlin-based Series A startup redefining digital tools for SMEs, freelancers, and self-employed professionals. They needed a physical workspace that reflected innovation, adaptability, and modern design principles.

1. Discovery & Research

We began with a deep dive into the client’s vision, company culture, and spatial requirements. We also analyzed industry trends and benchmarked contemporary office environments to ensure strategic alignment.

2. Concept Development

Sketches and diagrams were created to explore spatial flow, materiality, and light. Early concepts helped visualize different layout directions and structural elements.

3. Design Execution

Using tools like AutoCAD, Rhino, and SketchUp, we translated initial ideas into detailed architectural models and renderings, presenting multiple iterations for client review.

4. Feedback & Refinement

After collaborative design sessions, we fine-tuned the selected concept—adjusting dimensions, finishes, and structural components to match both aesthetic and practical needs.

5. Documentation and Handover

We delivered complete architectural plans, material schedules, and visualization packages for construction and stakeholder approval.
