Lobbies, receptions and event spaces

The spaces that decide what the hotel is.

Public areas carry the design idea of the property, and they carry the highest concentration of specialist trades. Stone, metal, timber, glass, acoustics and lighting all meet in the same few hundred square metres.

We engineer those meetings, manufacture the elements that define them and install them in a sequence that protects the finishes already in place.

  • Decorative metalwork and balustrades
  • Feature ceilings, coves and access panels
  • Acoustic build-ups behind the finish

Control

How the scope is held together.

Setting out before fabrication

Public area geometry rarely matches the drawing exactly. We survey and set out the space, then fabricate to the surveyed condition.

Sequence protects finish

Stone, metal and joinery are installed in an order that keeps completed finishes out of the way of following trades, with protection specified rather than improvised.

One party for the interfaces

Where the ceiling, the lighting, the sprinkler and the joinery all meet, the coordination sits with us rather than between three subcontractors.

Before we price

What we need from you.

Send whatever exists today. We will tell you what is missing rather than build a number on assumptions.

  • Public area design package and finishes schedule
  • Structural and services drawings for the area
  • Acoustic or fire requirements that affect build-ups
  • Programme for the surrounding base build
  • Operator requirements for events and pre-function use
