The Cube 8 Studio name was born from exploring the concept of space itself. How do we begin to understand and analyse space? What services need to work in synergy to design and deliver human-centered workplaces? Firstly, when faced with an empty space at the beginning of a project, a designer has a blank canvas. The empty space the interior designer is faced with can be seen as a "CUBE"; four walls, a floor and a ceiling. Then, to fully understand the space, we look from all "8" vertices.
As a serendipitous strike, Cube 8 Studio has "8" services that, when collaborating and working in synergy, can create truly magnificent places to work.
Our logo was then designed from our name. If you look closely, you’ll see a 3D cube, a number eight and the letter ‘S’ - thus creating our unique identity. Cube 8 Studio, it's in the name!...
To design and deliver outstanding workplace experiences through our unique human-centered data-aware design approach, by putting people's needs and well-being at the heart of everything we do.
