OUR SPIRIT

More than just symbols, 129 was the house number of our founder’s childhood sanctuary. It was here they first witnessed the power of what would become their grandmother’s legacy. This vibrant place opened its doors to friends, family, and the greater community, ensuring everyone felt seen, valued, and welcome. It is where our founder first learned about the art of making people feel special, a tradition they have carried on to this day.

Inspired by this spirit, Casa 129 is a creative studio of lovers and makers dedicated to people-centered experiences. We blend strategy, brand, and space, crafting moments and environments that celebrate heartfelt hospitality and culture.
