Hospitality
At RISE we can create unique and functional spaces for customers in the hospitality sector, covering new builds, renovations, and refurbishments for hotels, restaurants, bars, and entertainment venues.

Step 1: Holistic Design Service
We offer a comprehensive architectural design and interior design service that encompasses planning and feasibility, as well as the technical elements of the design itself.

Step 2: Feasibility And Site Design
Before a hospitality project begins, we can help you conduct a feasibility study to assess potential opportunities, optimise your budget, and create a range of design options that can be finely honed to the needs of your business and its customers.

Step 3: Conceptual And Detailed Design
The key to successful hospitality architecture is to use your design as a marketing tool to communicate your brand’s message and identity to your guests. Our conceptual and detailed design services involve working closely with you and your stakeholders to ensure that every aspect of your vision, brand message, and needs are incorporated into your designs, for full brand consistency and impact.

Step 4: Experience Development
As hospitality specialists, our design service helps create the structures and environments you need to provide unique experiences to your customers, optimising your space layout for engagement and flow.

Why Choose RISE?
RISE Design Studio specialises in creating bespoke venue designs for a wide array of hospitality establishments, spanning from hotels and restaurants to bars and cafes. Leveraging our expertise, we curate unforgettable spaces that entice and captivate your clientele. The space beckons them to step inside and fully immerse in the ambience, providing a deeply gratifying customer experience that leaves them with a memorable brand impression.
Hospitality venues are, at the end of the day, backdrops for personal stories and narratives – the stories of your customers.
This is why we approach hospitality architecture as more than a matter of simply ‘designing a building’. The philosophy behind each of our architectural designs is to create an atmospheric setting that contributes and enhances your guest experiences, optimising functionality while maintaining a high level of aesthetic appeal unique to your brand.
This is the RISE difference. By working with us, you invest in a design that not only attracts new customers but also helps you retain them, making you an integral part of their story and adding to your business’s success.

Featured Projects

Carousel 1

Frequently Asked Questions
At RISE, every project begins with an in-depth consultation, through which we obtain a strong understanding of your business identity, values, target market, and plans for your space. This enables us to incorporate your brand’s core values, vision, and requirement into every aspect of your design, creating a space that resonates with your target market and extends your brand recognition.
We offer a range of space optimisation options available to restaurants, bars, and other hospitality businesses, including multi-functional areas, smart furniture selection, and intelligent layout planning. Our goal with each design is to maximise efficiency without sacrificing function, style, or comfort for your guests.
Absolutely. At RISE, we are committed to sustainable design practices and aim to incorporate eco-friendly materials, lighting designs, and green space elements such as living walls (where appropriate), into your design wherever possible, to help you reduce your carbon footprint and appeal to a growingly eco-conscious demographic.
There are various ways in which hospitality businesses can make their premises more sustainable, including incorporating renewable energy sources into the design, using locally sourced materials and trades people, and designing the building in a way that makes more efficient use of natural light and the warmth from the sun throughout the cooler months and shading during the hotter months. We’ll work with you to identify and implement the best solutions for your business and location.
We appreciate that a major renovation or redesign is a big change that is going to affect your staff, customers, and operations, so wherever possible, our design and project management process is built around minimising disruption to your daily work. Approaches can include work in phases, construction during off-peak hours, or activities during closed periods, to ensure a smoother and less disruptive transition.
With each of our design solutions, we strive to strike a balance between cost effectiveness and the highest quality by choosing timeless and durable materials, employing smart design technologies that reduce the need for extensive structural changes, and implementing a proven and streamlined process for better planning and execution. We are committed to open communication and transparent planning at all stages and will help you leverage the most value from your budget without compromising on core features and requirements.
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is an advanced approach to architectural design that utilises a digital representation of your physical space to allow us to plan more effectively, predict issues before they arise, and fine tune your design to align with the most current standards and environmental best practices.
Virtual reality (VR) and 3D walkthroughs give you an immersive experience and help you visualise your space before you approve your designs. This cutting-edge virtual design technology helps you make more informed decisions, allows modifications in real time, and enhances overall project management by giving all stakeholders a tangible preview of the end result.
