The pillars of our Design Studio

Genuine creativity

Our hospitality design philosophy is to create escapism and excitement. With a focus on nurturing guests, we think deeply about guest flow and function. Ultimately we design brand stories and experiences that deliver five-star reviews.

Full Service yet boutique

Our Design Studio is more than just an interior architectural design agency, we are your strategic partner in transforming hotel spaces.

Innovation first

We are proud to be first movers on now common design trends, hard flooring, and innovative wall treatment solutions are some of the initiatives we have led the market on.

Technology and process-driven

Our design workflow methodology fast tracks complex designs and facilitates multiple project stakeholders. As early adopters of BIM software creating 'virtual twins' we eliminate circular revision loops while ensuring buildability.

We transform conceptual designs into reality with our own FF&E designers. The art lies in creating our own shop drawings and being about to hold account of the elements through the manufacturing process so there’s no dilution in design or quality.

We specialise in the most complex of designs, where many material finishes are blended from multiple sources.

As a FF&E specialist, we have deep expertise and experience is manufactured all FF&E including ; complex casegoods, joinery, upholstery, lighting, artwork. Everything you see inside a hotel room, we design and we manufacture.

Our Team has been procuring and manufacturing Hotel FF&E, including bespoke furniture since 2005.

FF& and OS&E are surprisingly complex with many moving parts. Successful execution of procurement contracts demands both extensive experience and a tried and tested global supply chain. Deep product knowledge and understanding of the inherent risks of each product type only from watching how FF&E performs over many years.

The expression “an FF&E consultant is only as good as their supply chain”, while this is not the entire FF&E Story, certainly holds some truth. No amount of domain expertise can make up for an inferior supply chain. We measure our procurement services by the quality of our highly curated supply chain. It has taken 18 years to distill and it is bankable.

Carmody Studio is now offering a curated factory direct pricing platform for select clients. This tried and tested hotel supply chain is best of breed. It is fully open book service, impartial and transparent offering that enables comprehensive product and price discovery.

Hotel Project Management is as important to the smartest of Designs. The only way to deliver on the promise is to brilliantly execute the Project delivery.

The measurement of project delivery success can be measured not just by the outcome but importantly, how smooth operationally and painlessly the project is delivered.

There is simply no substitute for experience. The fewer unknowns a project team has, the higher the probability of success.

High-impact rooms delivered with a low operational impact is our project mission.
