We treat space as a (limited) resource. Link Lab aims to take responsibility in how we use space, both built and unbuilt. We make conscious choices of where we and how we build, concentrating on how to rethink and re-use existing spaces and buildings.

Why create “a brand” if you can create a culture? At two five two agency we scope beyond what’s visual to find the right balance between stiffness and rebellion. We shake it up, poor rebellion into stiffness and dare to say “no” sometimes. But at the end all what matters is your project to become a culture instead of “just a brand.”
