our response
Working closely with the team, we led a series of workshops to explore the opportunities and operational requirements of the site, helping shape a concept that responded to both the unique setting and the ambitions of the business. From guest experience and spatial planning through to kitchen design, materials, furnishings and detailing, every element was considered as part of a joined-up vision.
