What makes Liife Architecture unique is our in-depth understanding of what motivates both venue operators and their patrons. We recognise the common challenges faced by hospitality businesses. When venue owners or managers reach out to us, it’s typically to tackle one of three main issues: 1. They want to increase revenue. 2. They’re facing operational challenges. 3. Their venue feels outdated and needs to enhance the patron experience. Every venue is unique, so we take a tailored approach to each project. We begin by collaborating closely with the management team to identify specific pain points and their overall vision. This could involve refurbishing or expanding the space, introducing new dining or beverage options, or appealing to a different demographic. For larger refurbishment or expansion projects, we start by creating a master plan. This document outlines the venue operator’s goals and captures the overall vision in a structured way. We then break it down into phases and work with the venue operator to establish a timeline for delivering each stage. With over 30 years of combined experience in hospitality design, we partner with our clients to develop venues that not only address their functional challenges but also attract a diverse range of patrons. www.archliife.com #Hospitality #design #Architecture #Renovations #Expansionprojects 

As a marketer, I’m always interested to see how brands are differentiating themselves to carve out a space that truly connects with their ideal person. As I was doing some light perusing today on the internets, I thought it might be interesting to start doing mini breakdowns of some of the sites I come across. First up on the list, Arlo Hotels #Wynwood property. Choosing a brand archetype is an extremely important step in the process of identifying who it is that you are speaking to. There’s a big world out there, folks and the last thing you want to do is try to speak to everyone in it…at the same time. So let’s start with the “who”? Arlo is a hotel brand with seven locations across the U.S. so the explorer archetype is a dead giveaway. In fact, the brand has dubbed itself the “ideal home base for today’s explorers”. We also see the creator archetype at play here, coming through immediately with the copy: Your Space to Create. We see this archetype embodied in the imagery throughout, which includes colorful murals, geometric shapes, and a deep connection to the surrounding Wynwood community. A rooftop bar aptly named Art, aesthetically minimalist rooms, free flowing concepts that allow visitors to experience the property on their own terms – the overall branding paints a vivid picture of what to expect when you come to Arlo Wynwood. So the lesson of the day for anyone building a brand? Decide who you want to capture and then position your brand to appeal to that person! #brandarchetypes #branding #marketing

For example our work at Blackpool Sands where, due to the sensitive nature of the location (area of outstanding natural beauty) ,increasing the footprint was out of the question and we therefore had to rely heavily on experiential design along with improved function and flow to achieve commercial success. And it worked. Most of our projects report 35%+ increase in revenue, this one was significantly higher. You can read more about it here https://lnkd.in/e7aPQWTd

Separating yourself from the sea of options isn't easy, especially without a distinct theme or branding. When I've stayed at Airbnbs, I find myself rarely returning to the same property or booking with the same host. Why? Because while the place may be nice and clean, it lacks that special something that makes it memorable among the countless others. That's why it's crucial to add those unique touches that make guests go, "Wow, that's cute!" It's all about going that extra mile, and guests truly appreciate the effort. One way to do this is through custom amenities tailored to your property's theme and style. Imagine branded toiletries with your logo, or a signature scent that welcomes guests as soon as they step through the door. Now that's a good way to get them back in the door. Let's make your property the standout choice for every guest! 🌟 #VacationRental #DistinctiveExperiences #LuxuryHospitality

The traditional residential model of just building a really nice building is not enough anymore. Each new development has to have a brand, has to conjure up the idea of what the #lifestyle can be. According to Savills, the Middle East in particular stands out, with 12% of global supply, and the pipeline for the region is solid, with growth of 120% to 2030, the strongest for any global region. #brandedresidence #luxuryliving
