Hospitality
—
Every professional space we create is developed with inherent human and ecological health benefits. We aim to only work with materials that cause minimal harm throughout their lifecycle and actively feed the earth upon disposal.
a pleasure to return to each day.
Through lateral thinking and thoughtful design, we can increase employee’s satisfaction and productivity, maximise the use of a space and eliminate sensory overwhelm – creating a calm and focused working environment, to be appreciated by all.
PLACE OF BUSINESS
Whether a hotel, restaurant, spa, longevity clinic, a place of healing, innovating brands, clean skincare, HQ, collaborative workspace, organisation, agency or consultancy–we will transform your space, and create a healthful environment with a positive, natural ambience. Healthy employees who are comfortable in their daily surroundings are more productive, collaborative and content.
“Eliminating stress from everyday life can seem unattainable. Limiting stress however is achievable–and this starts with the environments we work in. If the home is a retreat, there is no reason why the workplace cannot transcend to the same level.”
— Louisa Grey, Founder of House of Grey
House of Grey design for the feeling you get in the space, not just the aesthetic.
For example, most retail design is situated in extremely built-up environments, not natural ecosystems to feel at ease in. We seek to develop a hugely positive perception of how a retail space can be, visualising and creating person-centred spaces.
alignment
We address the needs of your business as a whole and provide a unique commercial space aligned with your brand.
We design spaces that perfectly reflect every brand we work with and their inherent values, transforming their creative visions into living and breathing spaces.
“We designed the Ffern flagship store through the lens of Circular Salutogenic Design–creating a space that symbiotically evolves as the seasons do and collaborating with artists and craftspeople to develop thoughtful pieces that can be re-homed when this chapter evolves for our clients.”
—Louisa Grey, Founder of House of Grey
Intentions
Our shared intentions of harnessing elements such as selecting natural and sustainably sourced materials to future proof the spaces we create, and ensuring sensory stimulation by reducing visual noise, inform each stage of the design process, allowing for purposeful designs that stand the test of time.
As a design studio we’re constantly evolving from within and looking to future proof in all areas of our work: exploring new research, innovating products, developing partnerships.
Our CSD work embraces the notion of regenerative design and development, which is the process of building capability in people within communities, and capacity within natural systems to renew, evolve, and thrive.
Regenerative design is holistic. Instead of primarily focusing on solving or minimising humans’ negative impacts, through developing our CSD products and interiors, we create ways for humans to enhance and contribute to thriving, living systems across the globe.
“If the workplace is a positive, nurturing and understanding environment designed to enable human connection and a sense of community, a beautiful quality of life can be created by the inherent attributes of the environments we work in.”
