Bar designed for cocktail/ club bar within Hotel. Purposely keeping a simplistic linear form to allow the product to displayed to it's full potential, with individual light boxes to bring attention to more specialist offerings and the glowing step displays that enhance colour and variety with a cool and stylish approach.
Bar designed for cocktail/ club bar within Hotel. A windowless space we wanted to capture and manipulate the lighting to draw attention. As a listed building we had to work within the restriction of the existing lighting points in the main, by accentuating the back bar the eye is drawn to the product as you approach but with the addition of the Muraspec Impressions to the front counter it added another layer of interest from a distance.
Bar lounge area for Hotel. This space has a variety of uses from coffee lounge, meeting, evening bar to formal function suite, our brief was to integrate these uses, we approached it from the perspective of keeping the it relatively simple in the main with added quirks/ details to give a more quality dimension to the space. Using furniture that in itself was not extraordinary but twinning it with the use of different textured upholsteries, bespoke designed tables overscaled lighting and a complex designed colourful wallpaper turned the space into something more interesting.
Fine dining restaurant. Part of our brief for the project was to integrate two spaces together but with the twist of still being able to use them individually. Originally we approached this from a more traditional aspect but as the project progressed it was decided to install frameless bi-fold doors and it was a stunning result.
Fine Dining restaurant. Previously this aspect of the restaurant had been very dark and had a lower floor level, by raising the floor level removing the window dressings and making more of the decorative finishes the space was transformed. Reportedly people request tables in this part of the restaurant now unlike previously when they asked not to be seated in there! Another fine detail was the inclusion of bespoke photography throughout the restaurant. Each image is of the grounds or locality all relevant and adding a special touch and pride to the space.
Arts and Crafts Hotel and Restaurant. An original arts and crafts building and listed this was a tricky project but right from the outset there was a clear brief of reintroducing the style and language of the arts and crafts in a beautifully subtle way whilst also providing a space that gave it's clientele a contemporary and quality environment that they wanted to be within.
Arts and Crafts hotel and restaurant. By keeping the design seemingly simplistic, using what the building had to offer and letting the space speak for itself to a certain level we were able to achieve a finish that provided our client with a traditional yet quality space. We were able to define areas differently with flooring details, original wallpapers contemporary handmade lighting and furniture styles and upholsteries. As you walk through the building there is much to see but when you first look nothing bombards you.

Arts and crafts hotel and restaurant. The same principles were applied throughout the accommodation spaces, a rich and simple decorative scheme with an original wallpaper design displaying a slightly fantastical theme. the furniture was kept stylish but natural and the services were all within the realms of modern days needs.
Proposal for Solicitors office refurbishment. Our brief was to transform the main office into a professional space that set an example to clients, reflecting the quality of ethics and of the work that was carried out within the space; professional, high quality, serious, hard working, knowledgeable and respected. The overall ouness was on a mix of modern and traditional, amalgamating the two by introducing iconic and classic pieces such as the chesterfield alongside modern graphics, furniture and lighting gives a subtle balance.
