LiveKit is a software platform that allows developers to create applications that use real-time video, audio, and data — whether it be for video conferencing, live streaming, robotics, or even spatial computing. They needed a design system that not only spoke to all of those use cases, but stood out as its own brand.

In many small towns, residents need to make the most of the limited infrastructure they have.

Built in the 1990s — and first renovated in the early 2000s — the U-shaped structure comprised a nursery school, a kindergarten and a youth centre, but had been outgrown by the population.
