Concept Design
Concept design is a very exciting time when a project could still be ANYTHING! We generate high-level, big ideas; we capture strong stories that carry your project forward. These big ideas are by their nature nebulous, and best presented as written narratives and loose sketches. Working together with brands and clients, we create places that are compelling to targeted demographics – places that always feel fresh and encourage return visits. Our collaborative process and iterative spirit are what makes us unique: we’re creative, integrated, and practical.
Program Development
The program provides the link between the project’s requirements. It takes account of market demographics, guest experience, storytelling, budget, with careful consideration given to times of the day, week, year capacity forecasts, in addition to operations and maintenance. The goal is to create immersive experiences that are well balanced, appropriately targeted, operationally feasible, and financially viable.
Master Planning
Our master plans are roadmaps to success. Whether it’s in the imaginative shaping of a restaurant or retail store, a site of a few hectares, or the extraordinary evolution of a few thousand, we build a harmonious relationship between program, story, and setting to create an outstanding guest experience.
Experience Planning
We know every moment is precious. We take pride in identifying, creating, and describing in detail in our written and visual work all the moments your guest will experience throughout your project. We touch upon all five senses to create a shared experience that starts with inclusive design.
In all our projects, large and small, FORREC makes a complex process look very easy. With our collaborative teams, every attraction is a seamless creation, where many separate considerations – from concept design, program development, master planning, and experience planning, flow together as one integrated process to achieve the strategic vision of the client.
