About our hospitality approach

Design for places people remember

Hospitality spaces are experienced as a whole: arrival, circulation, atmosphere, comfort, lighting, materials and the small details guests notice. Our approach considers how a property should feel and how it needs to function, so design intent and day-to-day use support one another.

A considered, coordinated approach

Depending on the brief, our work can include concept development, interior space planning, material and finish selection, furniture and lighting direction, FF&E coordination, styling and design documentation. The scope is agreed around the project’s needs and delivery team.

Experience across properties

Over the past ten years we have worked with a hospitality group across its properties in India, starting with mock rooms and going on to room types, wings, receptions, restaurants and banquet halls.

Rooted in context

We believe hospitality design should respond to its location, architecture, intended audience and operating model rather than apply a generic look. We work across India from our Delhi NCR studio.
