Foundation Three is an interdisciplinary design studio operating where architecture, graphic design and brand strategy meet.

We work across architecture, graphic design, and strategy – shaping identities that unfold in space, on screen, and in every touchpoint in between.

Our focus: retail, hospitality, and office design. Not as isolated disciplines, but as interconnected experiences that move people and make brands matter.

Service

We keep our process clear, collaborative, and deeply rooted in context — cultural, human, spatial. From early concept to final detail, we translate ambition into presence.

What drives us? A belief that strong brands aren’t just built. They’re felt. And they live where story, form, and meaning align.

Max turns ideas into impact. He designs holistic brand narratives that resonate far beyond the screen.
