REBRANDING
A Pie faced the challenge of being perceived as a purely architectural practice, which limited its potential. The rebrand broadened its identity to reflect both architecture and product design, inspired by Ecuador’s everyday graphic culture. This approach redefined the studio as accessible, experimental, and connected to local visual traditions, now extended into its digital presence.
