Scope
Interior Direction, Marketing Ecosystem & Visualization Strategy
Project Brief
Proximity at Watermark required a fully integrated creative direction to establish a new standard of waterfront living in Wilmington. Our team led interior design direction, marketing strategy, and visualization oversight — shaping every touchpoint from the residences to the amenity experience into a cohesive, aspirational lifestyle destination.
Positioned in South Wilmington with direct access to Carolina Beach, Wrightsville Beach, and downtown's Riverwalk, the community needed to communicate both serenity and connection. Our work translated that duality into a visual and spatial language that resonates across every channel — from the signature community pier and resort-inspired pool to the refined interiors of each residence.
