The May

The May is a mixed-use property in downtown Cleveland. Once the location of the historic May Company department store, the project narrative and branding takes cues from the building’s storied past.

The ability to design your own lifestyle through art and fashion inspired the square form of the brand and design elements throughout the building. The design of the building blends timeless forms with a modern twist.
