Frequently Asked Questions

How do you tailor designs to align with my brand identity?

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.

What space optimisation strategies are available to me?

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.

Can you integrate sustainable practices in hospitality design?

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.

How do I make my space more sustainable?

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.

Will the renovation/redesign process disrupt my business?

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.

How do I balance a cost-effective solution with my need for high quality design?

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.

What is BIM and how does it benefit my project?

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.

How do VR and 3D walk-throughs enhance the design process?

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.
