our approach
We begin by defining the central idea. This includes the emotional tone, cultural context, audience behaviour, and the story the space needs to tell. We develop a clear narrative that can live spatially, visually, and experientially.
2. Spatial and experiential design
We design how the experience unfolds across the space. This includes layout, flow, pacing, interaction points, and moments of pause or intensity. We think about how bodies move through space, not just how things look.
3. Build and production
Studio858 handles or oversees the full production process, including fabrication, digital development, sound design, lighting, and installation logistics. We collaborate closely with fabricators, technologists, and venues to ensure precision and durability.
4. Installation and activation
We support on-site installation, testing, and activation. This includes audience interaction testing, live events, launches, and documentation where required.
