Hotels

From the luxury to the budget end of the market, hotel operators know what works for their customers. How rooms are laid out, bar and restaurant offers, even parking arrangements have all been tried and tested over many years.

But while the mechanics of a hotel may be replicated across a chain, one size design cannot. The architect has to understand how a particular brand works, and then design a hotel to fit the new location and maximise return on investment. Where necessary, we call on skilled craftsmen to produce bespoke finishes that really set a hotel apart.

Speed to market is crucial, so we use innovative construction techniques and work closely with planners on sensitive sites. Building Information Modelling (BIM) allows us to quickly explore options and find the optimum mix of rooms, sizes, and facilities. Which all helps reduce the time between site acquisition and occupancy.

it is important to minimise lifetime costs, so we take extra care over sustainability aspects, and design in energy-efficient technologies to reduce costs and improve guest comfort.
