About
We design what a place, a brand or a moment could become.
Sandbox is an independent concept design studio for spaces, identities, and experiences.
We work at the very start of a project, when there is a brief, a site or simply a hunch. Our job is to turn it into a clear, convincing idea that the people around it can see, believe in and build.
What we design
- 01
Spaces
Concepts for shops, restaurants, workplaces and cultural venues. We explore layout, atmosphere, material and light early, and draw them clearly enough for the people building it to see the finished room.
- 02
Identities
Names, visual systems and brand worlds for new ventures, and for established ones ready to sound like themselves again. Designed to hold up on a screen, a storefront and a paper bag.
- 03
Experiences
Exhibitions, launches, installations and journeys through a space. We plan what people see, touch and remember, from the moment they arrive to the moment they leave.
How a project moves
Every project begins in the sandbox, a place to try things freely before anything is fixed.
- 01
Listen
We start with the people, the place and the problem, and agree on what a good result looks like.
- 02
Play
The sandbox phase. Quick sketches, models and references, with many directions on the table at once.
- 03
Shape
We commit to the strongest idea and develop it into drawings, visuals and a story that holds together.
- 04
Hand over
You receive a concept package your architects, makers or agency can take straight into production.
