The Rockaway Hotel

Our Rockaway Hotel design rewinds to the 1960s: a seductive beach where urban grit meets surfable waves. Each room blends beachy pops with Scandinavian modernism; all topped off with rattan furniture, teak finishes, and vintage Indonesian textiles. The goal is for hotel guests to feel at home in the lobby, dining spaces, poolside and bars, the perfect balance of vacation socializing and private getaway.

SINTEF Health Tech

This was a full renovation job completed in 2022. The space is 450 square meters with 32 employees. SINTEF's former office premises bore the mark of poor layout and was in need of a major upgrade. SINTEF are researchers and therefore need to sit in their own offices in their daily work. This solution was therefore continued, but with today's need for more interaction, it became even more important that the social zones could also be used for less formal meetings, in small and large groups.

SINTEF Management

This was a full renovation job completed in 2022. The space is 450 square meters with 30 employees. SINTEF's former office premises bore the mark of poor layout and like most office buildings - sterile and uninviting. They had few social zones, long corridors and the space did not invite to get together in the work place. Curious Yellow embraced these challenges with the floor plan, with e.g. to build custom seating areas around columns and technical rooms. The result today is a bright and colorful office, which is a nice balance between professional and homely.

Ivy Nightclub

The Ivy is a famous, popular nightclub located on the west side of Oslo. It was built for for extremely hard use, but designed to always look glamorous and chic. With it's vibrant, retro-inspired space, this is a place to see and be seen while dancing the night away. Carefully laid out and lit to accommodate large crowds late into the evening, we arranged the flow for adequate seating and to maximize bar operations.

Hero Beach Club

This beach hotel has deep roots in a town that takes pride in their local energy and history. We aimed to maintain the structure while brining it up-to-date with paint, updated siding and modern railings. The rooms are filled with Balinese fabrics, teak and plenty of rattan. Montauk is a fishing town first and a vacation destination second, so our goal was to make a cheerful, unpretentious getaway that doesn’t stand in the way of local culture.

Döner Bros

It’s a fast-food restaurant—but it’s no McDonald’s drive-thru. This sun-soaked space focuses on culture and nostalgia, on a dime. With nods to the 70s and 90s hip-hop culture, the final design is a youthful vibe where everyone is welcome.

The Juicery

The Juicery Porsgrunn is one of Norway’s many juice bars. A casual, cafe environment, a variety of seating, creative lighting and an assortment of plants create this playful, Scandinavian, minimalistic style.

Modus - Mustad Eiendom

Modus is a co-working office space in Oslo, Norway with a 150-person capacity. The project goal was to make private offices flow seamlessly with shared common areas, meeting rooms, and a kitchen. We color-blocked with durable materials and modern shapes and lighting, then added plants for good energy and a zen quality.

Harbour East

This popular restaurant blends indoor and outdoor spaces, with an air of transportation.

Libertine Wine Bar

Justisen Bar

Justisen is a historic bar-house and events space located in central Oslo. Originally an apartment building from the 1840s, this protected space is rich with antique elements. We built upon the existing atmosphere by adding layers, luxurious textures and lighting to enhance the Old World beauty of the building with hints of sophisticated and modern design.

Doodle Workspace

Doodle Workspace is a membership workplace for tech creatives. Playing off the raw space of high ceilings, glass, and concrete floors, we added pops of pink, mid-century loungers, architectural lighting and celebrate prints from famous artists. The finished product is equal parts comfortable, trendy, and low-key, an inspiration for the 20s-30s tech crowd.
