Design Thread The finished project should look colourful and carefree, but to achieve the right balance we take into account scale, light, aspect and attention to detail. Taking unattractive greenfield sites and building hotels from concept to completion. It is always a thrill to walk through the doors into a lobby Central London in walking distance from my design studio. I walk to work past the V&A and the Natural History Museum, two of my favourite places. Vienna to see the Klimt collection at the Belvedere, visit the Spanish Riding School, and eat lots of delicious cakes in the cafes. , a book on the history of the Lyceum Theatre. Much Ado Books bookshop. The Royal Academy school program for aspiring young artists. Heritage of London Trust, looking after the city’s neglected buildings. Fine Cell Work, working with prisoners to create lovely embroideries, and give confidence and independence to the world-weary inhabitants there.
