Zach's Timeout Foam3D™ Logo for Project Give Kids The World

Situation

At Britten, we believe that great spaces are more than just the sum of their parts. When the ingredients come together in just the right way, the finished product has the potential to be life changing. That life changing aspect is at the heart of what project Give Kids The World set out to capture with Zach’s Timeout, a themed environment designed for cooking and crafting at their storybook resort in Kissimmee, Florida. This inspiring nonprofit provides cost-free, weeklong vacations to children with critical illnesses and their families, offering them a break from medical routines in a place designed purely for unrestrained play. As the team at Give Kids The World worked towards finalizing the design concept for Zach’s Timeout, they were faced with a minor dilemma as they felt like something was missing. So, that's when they decided to reach out to the experts at Britten for some fresh ideas to get their vision for the space fully baked.

Solution

We stepped in to provide some new and interesting ideas for the immersive experience they wanted to create using Foam3D™ materials that they hadn't previously considered. We were very excited to work with project Give kids The World because it was such a heartfelt and generous cause. We were tasked with finishing out the space by adding a few final touches and featured elements to create a sense of place. After some brainstorming, we decided that adding some bold, playful, dimensional signage was going to be the cherry on top of this tasty space. So, we created a custom, hand-carved Foam3D™ logo for Zach's Timeout that utilized donut shaped letters that seemed like they were popping right off the wall and embedded wood and hardware to keep it secure in place. The finished logo made a statement as the centerpiece of the room's dessert-themed decor and served as a subtle shout out to the boy inspired it all.  Now complete, Zach's Timeout was ready to inspire the storm of kids ready to get their hands dirty in the new space.

Impact

The grand opening of Zach's Timeout was a huge success as it offered kids and their families yet another opportunity for a truly unique experience at the Give Kids the World resort. Zach's Timeout provides a creative space to inspire a renewed sense of happiness and hope while granting families time away from the burdens of everyday life that often come with critical illness. For the Britten team, to be able to contribute to such a great cause was an incredible opportunity that was extremely rewarding and fun as we loved collaborating with the team at Give Kids the World. Zach's Timeout also reflects our commitment to "Build Them Up", a core value that drives everything we do and it provided a reminder of how creative design can make a real impact on people’s lives.
