ABOUT THE PRACTICE

Our design practice based at a studio in Somerset House has over 35 years experience.

The projects are hugely varied, but it is for the design of museums and exhibitions that we are best known. The client list includes public museums and galleries, institutions, commercial art dealers, auction houses and private collectors.

The subjects and objects of the projects vary range from a King William III barge to a Scimitar tank, from a cuneiform to Shakespeare’s will, from Old Masters to Andy Warhol paintings. We always find creative and interesting ways to display exhibits - without ever forgetting that the object comes first.

The projects are located throughout the UK, as well as overseas, many of them in world-famous historic buildings, for example The Tower of London and Windsor Castle.  We respect architecture, be it historic or contemporary. We have a proven track record of working sensitively in important interiors. However, we are just as happy to work in unknown buildings that offer a blank canvas from which to create stunning interiors.
