Hospitality interiors

Hotels, restaurants and guest-facing interiors, where the detail has to survive constant use.

Hospitality is the hardest brief we take. The space has to feel distinctive, photograph well, meet the relevant codes, serve back-of-house operations guests never see, and take a level of wear that domestic work never approaches.

So we design for the operator as much as for the guest — sightlines, covers, service routes, and finishes chosen for how they clean and how they are repaired.

What this covers

What this covers

  • Guest-facing design

    Lobbies, dining rooms, guest rooms and bars — the character the operation is sold on.

  • Operational planning

    Covers, service routes, back-of-house adjacency, and the flow between them.

  • Durable specification

    Finishes and furniture selected for maintenance and replacement, not for appearance alone.

  • Delivery on a live site

    Sequencing that respects an opening date and, where needed, a property that is still trading.

How we approach it

We bring the operator in early rather than at handover. The people who will run the space every day usually know something the drawings do not, and it is far cheaper to hear it before the joinery is set out.

03What this includes

The whole of it, not the parts that are easy.

Drawings, specification, procurement, site coordination and handover run as one piece of work. Where a specialist trade is required we appoint and manage it, and it remains our responsibility to you rather than yours to them.

  • One scope covering design through to handover
  • Specialist trades appointed and managed by us
  • A single point of responsibility throughout
