206 Architects is an Elkin, North Carolina studio led by architect Joe Seipel-Parks, shaped by years of practice in historic Beaufort before returning home to build a firm that spans residential, hospitality, and preservation-minded work. They initially came in needing conference-ready materials and a light refresh, but the bigger opportunity was clear: their existing look leaned generic-modern, while their actual work had far more character, craft, and local story.
Tagawa Gardens is a historic Colorado garden center with deep roots in roses, built over decades of serving locals who know it by heart. They came to us with a tricky challenge: attract a new generation and modernize the experience without losing the trust, warmth, and legacy that made Tagawa what it is.
