Working with our in house product development team, Design Research Studio has detailed knowledge of production methods, lead times, materials and finishes as well as having the capacity to create large quantities of custom items. By interpreting a project in its purist form and the meaning of the building within its environment, our team is well known for connecting the design to the building or interior to the local area, its community and target audience. For Shoreditch House located at the top of an old biscuit factory, Design Research Studio evolved the successful Soho House brand to suit the Shoreditch audience whilst maintaining the historic qualities of the Biscuit Building. Our vision was to create a design that preserved the rawness of the building intrinsic to maintaining a sense of place.

Recent projects include the newly opened Paramount Club in the top three floors of Centrepoint, an iconic London landmark and Shoreditch House, the latest addition to Nick Jones’ series of clubs.
