What We Built — Room 808

Room 808 is a design and engineering studio in Los Angeles. We make websites, products and digital experiences for restaurants, companies and artists who want something that couldn’t belong to anyone else. Every project starts with the business, not a template: what it has to do, who it’s for and how it should feel. Then we design and engineer every layer to deliver it, from the first impression to the infrastructure underneath.

Alina’s Room

Debut EP, better left behind

We cut the hand-drawn EP cover into its individual objects and rebuilt it as a live room. There's no menu: the room is the interface, and each object opens part of the release.

Open Season

A game for Weston Estate
