Designregio Innovation Case: altitude hotel Monte Marcella x Pars Pro Toto

How can you add value to an old farmstead? That was the central question with which Chris Mullie set to work. His goal was to transform the old farmstead into a new, sought-after destination that would not only be economically profitable, but would also add value to its surroundings. For this challenging project, Chris looked for partners with a creative slant who were familiar with service design while serving as sparring partners throughout the process. We looked for the right creative match to guide this venture. Wim Van den Hende of Pars Pro Toto accepted the challenge.

Pars Pro Toto is a full-service design firm with more than 25 years of experience, making it an established name in the industry. Despite their extensive knowledge, this project was a unique opportunity to which Wim Van den Hende was happy to contribute his expertise.

Pars Pro Toto assisted Chris in this project from the beginning, not only providing creative input, but also checking feasibility and contacting different target groups. They took full charge of the service design process, from initial concept to conceptual development. Wim served as a constant sparring partner throughout the process, with a specific focus on innovative strategies.
