‘For us a Hotel is a dream job – it allows to work in so many different typologies – Spas and Bars, restaurants and bedrooms, conference rooms and corridors. The idea that we can create a complete universe that people can live in for a night or a week, what’s not to like?’

This residential project involved a series of bespoke objects designed specifically for Rondure House. The creative play of light created by Tom and Design Research Studio provides an experience that one would normally expect to find in a contemporary art installation, making it an artsy and cool experience.
‘Residential is always more challenging as a typology, as you are dealing with someone who will encounter your work every day for a decade or even a lifetime, it’s a serious responsibility. The challenge in show flats is also the problem of not having an actual client – you have to balance having enough character to stand out with a broad enough appeal, yet make it popular amongst a variety of unknown owners.’
