Guests & atmosphere
The people you want to attract, the character of your property and the way you welcome them give the design its direction. Layout, light, materials and furnishings turn that brief into an atmosphere.
All services
AD’ / Hospitality
Designed around the guests you want to welcome.
You may be creating a new hospitality interior or renewing a spa, lounge or reception that no longer reflects the experience you want to offer. AD’ develops the complete interior design for the agreed spaces, bringing guest atmosphere and operational requirements into the same brief.
From Italy, we develop layouts, materials, lighting and bespoke details with the technical input your appointment requires. We agree what to retain and what to change, so the interior expresses the character you want guests to experience. At Hotel Eden Spa in Rome, AD’s role covered full Spa interior design, bespoke development and coordination from concept through handover.

The brief
What should the
interior make possible?
Guest use & daily operation
The brief needs both perspectives. We discuss seating, privacy, circulation, cleaning and maintenance with the client and operator, then coordinate relevant requirements with the appointed specialists.
Details before the works
Carry the character of the design into the finished rooms. We develop bespoke details and review samples and supplier proposals with the team, resolving the interfaces included in our scope before those elements are made.
Hotels & refurbishment
A new hotel. A property to renew.
For a new hotel or an existing property, the brief brings together the guests you want to welcome and the team who will look after them. AD’ can lead the interior design or join an appointed team for design direction and a defined technical review. We agree the rooms, design stages and responsibilities before work begins.
For a spa, lounge or reception that needs renewal, we establish what belongs to the property’s character and what should change. Layout, seating, materials and lighting develop together with circulation, privacy and the needs of the operating team, giving the agreed space a coherent interior design.
At Delta Marriott in Dhaka, AD’ acted as Owner’s Representative & Design Consultant: coordination with Archetype and review of the hotel plans against the operator’s requirements, including guest circulation, service flows and life-safety considerations.

Selected work
A spa, a restaurant, a place to gather.
At Hotel Eden in Rome, we led the Spa redesign from concept through handover. Stone, glass and lighting were developed together, including the illuminated display joinery. KOI Restaurant in Bangkok starts from another kind of hospitality: arrival, the bar, conversation and the atmosphere of dining after dark. Each brief asks different questions of the interior.

Working together
At your property.
With your team.
We work with owners, operators and their appointed architects, engineers and delivery teams. For renewal, we establish what should stay, what needs to change, the existing conditions and the next decisions. The proposal defines the design stages, specialist input, reviews, visits, fees and programme for the agreed spaces. Access, surveys, approvals and the proposed works programme are discussed with the team.
Discuss the appointmentBefore we begin
Your project,
your starting point.
Do you work only on hotels?
Our hospitality work includes hotel spas, restaurants, bars, lounges and banquet spaces. The brief and operating model determine the design scope; a focused refurbishment and a complete interior need different appointments.
Can you design a banquet or events interior?
Yes. The Sikder Center banquet hall is one example. An events brief should set out the types of gathering, seating and stage requirements, and how the room needs to change between uses. We agree the interior design scope with the client and operator and identify the specialist input needed for acoustics, audiovisual systems, rigging and statutory capacity.
Explore the Sikder Center banquet hallCan you join before a refurbishment begins?
Yes. Existing plans, photographs, operational requirements and the intended programme help us identify which surveys, design decisions and specialist input are needed before the works.
What should we include in a restaurant or bar brief?
Send the location, current plans, restaurant concept, intended seating capacity and target opening or refurbishment date. Explain how guests and staff should move between arrival, dining, the bar and service areas, and who is developing the kitchen and building services. Existing constraints and specialist requirements help us define the interior design scope and the team needed.
Can you support a team that already has a design?
Design Direction represents your interests in the interiors, coordinates your appointed team and reviews proposals against your priorities. Technical & Project Review can examine a defined package of drawings, specifications or supplier proposals. Furnishing & Procurement can also be appointed separately.
