Soul 2 Soul has been our favorite venue to go out to for many years. The owner, a friend of ours has asked us to do the project for reconstruction and rebranding. Now it is a small boutique hotel with bistro envisioned as an urban resort so any visitor feels a bit like on a vacation when visiting for a quick lunch break or dinner with friends. The idea was to keep the unique spirit of the place but with contemporary and somewhat kinky twist. It was a very low budget project so we have decided to do several installations by ourselves. We have invited graphic designer Rade Filipović to work with us on logo and brand design and an exceptional illustration featuring souls of Soul Hotel & Bistro. The place is designed to welcome contemporary urban traveler coming to Podgorica for business and leisure as well as locals.
