Charrettes

Creative Principals was hired by the Coastal Heritage Society to masterplan and design its new "Savannah STEAM" experience inside the historic 1925 Storeroom at the Georgia State Railroad Museum. While we can't share visuals or details of the concepts yet, the work kicked-off with a series of three engaging full-day charrettes with educators, stakeholders and staff. The input from these charrettes then informed the master plan and designs. Creative Principals recruited some great partners to assist us in this work, including MuseumEXP and Boss Display.

Creative Principals, in partnership with Haskell, RWS and Black & Veatch, led the creative development and design of the visitor experience inside the JEA H2.O Purification Center in Jacksonville. This visitor center inside a new water purification plant is designed to educate visitors about the water cycle, aquifer and how this advanced technology works. The overall project team is led by Haskell with architect Yves Rathle and engineering partners Black & Veatch. Our scope included creative direction, writing, design and branding. As with all of our projects, a kick-off charrette with JEA and the other partners helped to bring the project team together to inspired a shared vision. The project is in the final stages of construction and soft opening with a grand opening scheduled for the first quarter of 2026.

Working in partnership with JRA and Cortina Productions, Creative Principals is serving as creative director for the Ozark Mill tour and museum experience inside this new attraction being created by the Morris family from BassPro Shops. The Ozark Mill includes a general store, restaurant, bar and museum. We worked with local historians and mill experts on crafting the story, design and scripting all the media inside. While it opened in 2023, the kick-off charrette we facilitated was held in February 2021 during the tail end of the pandemic.
