It has been a really exciting couple of months for us at the studio. We have been working with Lauren (Something Else) on a new website and rebrand! Many of you may have already been introduced to our new name, En Masse Architecture and Design, but the launch of this site really makes it official. We have been chatting about and hinting at a rebrand to many of you for a while and there is an amazing amount of work to make it all happen. We wanted to do it right and really create a brand that speaks to who we are as people and who we are as a firm.
As mentioned above, we started by finding the right partner to usher us through the process. We found Something Else and they have been an absolute pleasure to work with. Something Else describes themselves as “a flexible full-service design studio, providing bespoke creative solutions to likeminded* clients”. They go on to say they seek to work with “people who strive to make thoughtful and impactful work in a collaborative setting, without sacrificing their integrity” — which is exactly how we’d describe En Masse. With significant contributions from our communications team, Jo Communications, SE redesigned every facet of our branding, collateral, and website. We can’t wait to acquaint you with our new brand and new look!
For those of you who knew us as Mike Shively Architecture, we are the same group of energetic, determined, fun, and thoughtful architects and designers but we now have a brand that represents our approach and design ethos. Mike founded MSA and built a firm dedicated to making life better through architecture; and as a part of this rebranding process, we spent time thinking and talking about, then updating that original intention. We assessed who we are, what we've done, and what we want to do. We are so thrilled to share our hard work and soul searching and the result: En Masse Architecture and Design.
