Makers Spaces

OPA works with people who care deeply about what they are creating and the experience surrounding it. Our clients include hospitality operators, restaurateurs, producers, craftspeople, and entrepreneurs who are building businesses around good ideas, hard work, and a desire to bring people together.

We approach these projects by looking at the whole business. How should the space operate when it is busy? What will make people comfortable enough to stay? How does the brand come through without feeling forced? Where can the making process become part of the experience? What needs to be flexible enough to change as the business grows?

That thinking has shaped our work with Makers for years. The types of businesses we work with continue to expand, but the common thread remains the same: thoughtful people creating something they believe in and inviting others to experience it.

Services

OPA understands the important relationship between your brand and the look and feel of your space. We work to best connect this design and brand alignment with your customers while equally emphasizing the functionality and operational efficiency of the areas where you make your goods. We know that one can’t exist without the other. Our design process maximizes the potential of both.
