International, collaborative and culturally engaged, BAR Studio specialises in the design of hotels and resorts throughout the world. Since 2003 we have established a portfolio of refined and sensitively realised projects. We are committed to design responses that form a sense of place, grounding each project in a material and aesthetic landscape. Above all else we value material and spatial quality, detail and the integrity of the designed outcome.
The key to creating successful design outcomes lies in our personal approach and our creative and professional collaboration with strong, cohesive and effective teams. We structure our studio so that key senior members are across all projects, ensuring each project is prioritised company-wide, and our directors and key staff are integrally involved in all aspects of design and delivery.
