Studio
Richard Keddell Studio designs commercial fit outs, architectural, urban, and industrial design projects.
We work with our customers to implement the designs created.
We manage and lead the design process, and any required consultants for the customer - from the first pre-design meeting through to hand over to shop fitters and builders.
Leveraging function and end user experience is a constantly driving factor in our work. We believe a projects objectives and the end user experience is optimised when undertaken holistically. This means considering all components of a designs lifecycle, brand story, and end user behaviours that we’re hoping to achieve.
In practical terms this means balancing budget, lead times, and compliance, with key brand messages and tone of voice, while working alongside or bringing together a team of professionals required to complete the job.
