Meet the Team
Welcome to our design and planning studio. We are dedicated, dynamic, and above all we believe ourselves to be unique in what we do. We were set up with a focus on cafe culture and franchise store modelling, but with a key difference in that we have developed from an architectural and planning consultancy background. Not only do we therefore focus on the highly specialised and fast paced world of the commercial interior but we are unique in being able to maximise the economic potential of any site with a complete architectural package, from remodelling right through to major residential and commercial development. To view more about what we do take a look at our services.
These are our key members:
