Restaurant, café and hotel design

01 · The problem

Copying the plan doesn’t replicate the brand.

A brand can grow and keep its identity in communication, yet lose coherence when that identity reaches the space.

Layouts, materials and specifications get repeated. What needs to be defined is what makes the brand recognizable and how it is expressed in each location.

DAPI connects that identity with architectural and spatial decisions.

02 · Three moments

Where is your brand right now?

03 · Who it’s for

We work with brands whose space is part of the experience.

Restaurants, cafés, bars and boutique hotels.
Founders preparing their first location.
Brands with several locations.
Hospitality groups that need to adapt their concept to new locations.
Established brands that need to evolve their spatial expression.

04 · The difference

Identity is designed too.

DAPI connects brand identity with architecture, interior design and spatial experience.

Every decision responds to what the brand needs to express, to the project conditions and to the context of each location.

When a brand grows, those criteria can guide how its concept is adapted to new locations.

05 · Method

We design from what makes your brand recognizable.

We work with Emotional Architecture and Anchor Spaces, bringing neuroarchitecture and neuromarketing criteria into how we read and design hospitality spaces.

06 · How we start

First we understand your brand. Then we design it.
