Studio

Simon studied at Edinburgh College of Art and is a Fellow of The Royal Society of Arts. With a 30-year career marked by 11 industry design awards, Simon brings extensive expertise to his work.

‘Adopting a collaborative studio approach with other like minded professionals gives us over 50 years of combined knowledge and expertise in commercial interior design, architecture, and construction.  Our ambition is to craft inspiring and engaging workplaces by deeply understanding each client’s sector and needs. Through active listening and idea-challenging, we build a shared vision with the client, grounding creativity in real-world construction experience.’

We want to create a world where a company’s workplace is a physical manifestation of its personality and culture. Where you and your people can step through the door and feel equally comfortable and inspired. And where your customers can intuit what your business stands for as soon as they enter. A space that feels like a natural extension of the company’s vision, totally unique to you. An environment that your people love so much they want to be within it and take care of it. An environment that meets needs you maybe didn’t even know you had.

Good design doesn’t come from a template, it comes from a deep understanding of your business and your ethos. It’s not just about carpets and curtains, it’s about creative solutions, considered structures and testing pre-conceived ideas. We get there by working with decision makers to get to the heart of what you need. We guide you through the process – there with you every step of the way – working with you and challenging your thinking to truly deliver the right solution for you. We’re in it for the long haul, seeing the process through from start to finish.

We excel in both client interaction and concept development, complemented by our core skills in space planning, detail design, and project management. This enables us to deliver high-standard services, from outline concepts to detailed works packages. Our expertise includes:

Spatial audit and planning
Workplace performance analysis
Interior design, architecture, and specification
