ZoCo Design is a digital design and branding strategy studio, founded in Columbus in 2013. Faced with an ever-growing team (that was quickly outgrowing its original home base!) ZoCo saw a great opportunity when the Brazenhead Irish Pub popped up for sale. 

It was a dramatic transition to say the least. The project gutted the old 1920’s building of nearly every hint of the old restaurant—except, of course, the main bar, which is now the perfect spot for a ZoCo happy hour.

The old kitchen space became the main conference room, and existing booths repurposed easily into casual collaboration spaces. A custom continuous desk surface transforms the old dining area into the bull pen. 

The renovation keeps the charm of the original Brazenhead (much of the existing woodwork was imported from actual Irish pubs!) with a fresh, colorful twist.
