Charrettes

Creative Principals was hired by the Coastal Heritage Society to masterplan and design its new "Savannah STEAM" experience inside the historic 1925 Storeroom at the Georgia State Railroad Museum. While we can't share visuals or details of the concepts yet, the work kicked-off with a series of three engaging full-day charrettes with educators, stakeholders and staff. The input from these charrettes then informed the master plan and designs. Creative Principals recruited some great partners to assist us in this work, including MuseumEXP and Boss Display.

Creative Principals is partnering with JRA to lead the creative on the visitor experience inside the planned JEA H2.O Purification Center in Jacksonville. This visitor center inside a new water purification plant is designed to educate visitors about the water cycle, aquifer and how this advanced technology works. The overall project team is led by Haskell with architect Yves Rathle and engineering partners Black & Veatch. Our scope includes creative direction, writing, design and branding. As with all of our projects, it kick-off with several immersive charrettes with JEA and the other partners. The project is expected to open in 2024.

Since its launch in 2017, Creative Principals has worked on 17 projects with Miral, the company leading the rapid evolution of the leisure and entertainment sector on Yas Island and throughout Abu Dhabi. While we cannot share details of the projects we've worked on, we can say that every single one kicked-off with an immersive and engaging charrette. These charrettes can be done in-person or via Zoom. Either way, they focus on four key things. First, finding the story. Second, exploring ways to translate that story into experiences. Third, brainstorming how to visualize these experiences. And fourth, quick bubble planning and design studies on how these experiences might work and look within a real space.
