How do you design a luxury multi-family brand in a seasonal market with an increasingly cosmopolitan population? 

No Walls Studio partnered with Aker to research and re-envision a value-add property in downtown Saratoga Springs. We started with in-depth qualitative interviews of the existing and nearby resident base. We studied the unique rituals of this slice of the world and the lived experiences of its people to position the property and help shape interior renovations. From there, we identified a way to bring together the history of the city, the clear and unmet needs of its high end residents, and creative expressions that feel authentic, but fresh. 

We created the Perennial brand, a highly curated Saratoga experience, focused on the unparalleled arts & culture and history of hospitality service in this gilded northeast city.

Aker
Saratoga Springs, NY

A modern brand for a city steeped in tradition.

Perennial’s visual identity celebrates Saratoga’s pageantry while carving a new path for its cultural movement. It embraces a vision of Americana that is both sophisticated and forward thinking.

Saratoga Springs, NY

At home in Saratoga, distinctly Perennial.

Creating brands for homes requires a delicate balance of a clear point of view and the canvas for residents to shape personalized lifestyles. For Perennial, we supported the brilliant Interior Design team with a wide range of subtle brand expressions; touches that communicate both a connection to the city and our brand idea.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
