Hackney’s impressive Mare Street Market is set in a previously nondescript council office block that has been purposefully re-imagined by Barworks. The retail project features a number of local businesses including a record shop, podcast studio, florist, bakery, deli, and restaurant all anchored around an impressive cocktail bar and communal work space.

We are delighted to have been asked by Barworks to oversee the branding and digital aspects of the project.

Pikes Hotel

Pikes is an iconic Ibizan institution, steeped in rock ‘n’ roll history and brimming with personality. The 25-room haven in the San Antonio hills features bespoke rooms and suites set around the sprawling fairytale gardens and the famous aquamarine pool which was the location for Wham’s ‘Club Tropicana’ video.

Pikes was originally created in the late 1970’s by the legendary Tony Pike and for the last few decades it has been a playground for the music and cultural elite with regular guests including artists such as Grace Jones, Tony Curtis, Spandau Ballet, Bon Jovi, George Michael and Freddie Mercury.

Lovingly restored by the Ibiza Rocks brand in 2011 and adored by locals, Pikes is one of the few places that still represents the authentic, carefree, Balearic spirit of the island.

It has been our pleasure to work with Pikes creative director Dawn Hindle on fine tuning each and every aspect of this uniquely authentic and bohemian destination.

Lima

Lima serves modern Peruvian fusion food using traditional wild ingredients whilst drawing on influences from Peru’s rich multicultural history. Located in Rathbone Place, London W1, the restaurant is jointly owned by Peruvian chef Virgilio Martinez, who is also the patron chef of the acclaimed Central restaurant in Lima, Peru, and brothers Gabriel and José Luis Gonzalez. We were commissioned by Gabriel to create a brand identity that would reflect Lima’s progressive aesthetic. This theme was later developed both in print and digitally, including a fully responsive website platform designed to work across a number of devices.

Lima was awarded a coveted Michelin star in September 2013.

The Drum Thing

Deirdre O’Callaghan’s portraits place drummers squarely in the spotlight. Photographing her subjects in their private rehearsal spaces and residences — from studios, bedrooms and basements to garages and gardens has allowed her to capture the true essence of individual personalities and lifestyles. Compiled over the course of four years she has photographed almost 100 celebrated musicians for this book, including Tony Allen, Ginger Baker, Travis Barker, Cindy Blackman, Patrick Carney, Terri Lyne Carrington, Chris Dave, Jack DeJohnette, Bryan Devendorf, Sly Dunbar, Steve Gadd, James Gadson, Dave Grohl, Mark Guiliana, Steve Jordan, Jim Keltner, Airto Moreira, Larry Mullen Jr, Neil Peart, Questlove, Jim Sclavunos, Ringo Starr, Lars Ulrich, Joey Waronker and Jack White. Each image is accompanied by excerpts from O’Callaghan’s personal conversations with the drummers.The book has been designed by Big Active to present the photography as a visual journey punctuated with sound bites and cutaways.
