The Residence of Mr. Moto

Brooklyn, New York

The next chapter in the Mr. Moto universe, The Residence of Mr. Moto invites guests into the imagined home of our enigmatic protagonist. Where The Office of Mr. Moto captured the spirit of discovery, The Residence turns inward, evoking the lavish domesticity and social rituals of America’s Gilded Age.

Our creative direction draws inspiration from the late 19th century — a time of industrial wealth, European influence, and the dawn of the Golden Age of Cocktails. This era saw the rise of sophistication, and the elite's quest for refinement through signature drinks not just as libations, but as cultural markers: vessels of identity, storytelling, and grandeur. At The Residence, cocktails become the centerpiece of the experience, each one layered with narrative and presented as an object of ritual.

Menus and collateral are designed with this sensibility in mind, honoring the artistry of each offering while transporting guests into the rarefied world of Mr. Moto’s imagined residence. The result is an atmosphere that feels both indulgent and intimate — a timeless extension of the Mr. Moto narrative, where every detail, from typography to storytelling, immerses guests in the gilded glow of another era.
