development strategies to maximise your sites potential. Our experience in masterplanning includes large
mixed use urban regeneration, small, medium and large scale retail and industrial zones, varied residential

5. Interior Design
We understand the essential link between “inside” and “outside”: the successful integration of interior
design to a building sends a potent message reinforcing brand, expressing function, displaying heritage or
declaring a corporate identity.
The creation of stylish and exciting contemporary interiors goes beyond mere decorative finish to include
strategic space planning optimising work spaces, technical understanding of specialist environments and
specification of sustainable materials.
We design sustainable interior solutions for retailers, offices and workplaces, the leisure industry, banking,
healthcare, residential, higher education and student living. Aligned to our interior design capabilities, we
provide brand development as an integrated part of creating new identities for our customers.

6. Brand Management
Brand is the personality that identifies a product, and we understand the importance of correctly
implementing a client’s brand and corporate identity. Difficulties encountered by clients in maintaining
brand consistency encouraged us to develop our L&H Studio proposition and create a suite of products to
provide a versatile ‘environment guide’ solution to facilitate accurate brand deployment.
These guides enable the intelligent control and management of bespoke environment guides for
corporate, retail and banking businesses. They are an accurate, responsive and cost-effective
implementation tool for brand environments utilising the latest digital media and publishing software.
Available in a variety of formats to provide controlled, structured information delivery from a single point
with the benefit of access control to ensure that the right audience sees only the correct information. An
always up to date, searchable resouce that is acessed on the fly and in situ.

7. Store Planning
A quality retail space provides the opportunity for a branded ‘point of difference’ that adds to the
customer experience, increasing footfall and sales. All store layouts are different, so when developing and
deploying a strategy we look at the business model to deliver the layout best suited to the brand.
Customer journey, focal points, staff levels and space standards are all of great importance, yet a solution
must also comply with current guidance & legislation and address specific security and operational needs.
A clear layout strategy and the correct product placement location can provide sales information and
inform marketing decisions while providing a logical and ‘user friendly’ customer environment, with easy
product identification and brand separation. Even where these factors have already been considered, we
work with the client team to ensure that these aspirations are understood and that the brief and delivery
programme are consistently met.

As architects our role is to provide a vision and express our ideas through illustrations and drawings.
We have developed a number of traditional and digital techniques to present our work which can be
commissioned independently.
Our services include; coloured concept sketches and storyboards, 3D building views (internal and external),
in-context 3D building views (photo realistic) and finally computer generated fly-throughs and movies.
Our recent movie animations also include ‘transitions’ from existing to proposed buildings or features. This
is an excellent way to promote a vision. These can all be produced in-house by our dedicated team.

11. The Trocadero has been one of London’s premier leisure destinations for over 350 years in the form of
theatres, restaurants, music halls and hotels and is located between Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square
in an area that has the highest footfall in Europe and is known throughout the world as a symbol for
London. The site is made up from a number of different buildings constructed and extended at different
periods; each of these having their own opportunities and challenges. Many of the lower units and the
western buildings are occupied by tenants that will remain and the brief was to develop, refurbish and
convert nine floors into a high class hotel with destination bar, roof terrace with breathtaking views of
the London skyline and a floor dedicated to celebrity suites.
We developed the interior concepts for the rooms and for the front of house / destination bar areas. The
clients’ ambition is that the new hotel facility will put the Trocadero firmly back as the premier London
leisure destination and become a prestigious hotel of international repute.

13. Hotel La Tour is situated in a very prominent location in Birmingham which serves as a gateway to the city
from the south and as a primary link between the retail and business heart of the city and the new city
park and emerging east side beyond.
We were tasked with maximising the potential from an unusual triangular Brownfield site, whilst
creating a striking and memorable contemporary building, offering a sanctuary of comfort and a unique
architectural experience. The four star luxury hotel includes ancillary facilities such as a restaurant, bar,
gym, conference facilities, open south facing terrace, parking and servicing, and topped with two multi
storey penthouse suites that offer views across the city and beyond.
Planning permission was granted at committee with a unanimous decision from the councillors, and they
commented that the building was ‘an impressive design’ and that it was ‘welcomed as a major addition,
not only to the city but to the city skyline’.

15. We were commissioned to transform a number of diverse City Centre sites into modern health and
fitness centres, including a severely dilapidated Grade II listed Cinema (incorporating a unique neo-
Egyptian auditorium designed and built in the 1930’s), a 1970s concrete framed car park /office block,
a former car dealership, and a number of other locations. The buildings now house high-technology
training and sports facilities, including state of the art Gymnasiums, Cardio-Theatre, Swimming Pools
with Steam and Sauna Rooms, Aerobics Rooms and Static-cycling. Other facilities include instruction,
changing and relaxation areas as well as a specialist Pilates and Yoga Studio, a Crèche, Treatment and
Therapy Rooms.
The buildings exposed columns and open ceiling spaces were incorporated in the designs to create an
industrial theme with a contemporary feel. The café entrance areas have views through to the Swimming
Pool and Gymnasium Areas. The projects were completed within narrow financial constraints to a
challenging construction programme, providing new use for otherwise obsolete buildings.

17. The Bennachie Visitor Centre was a Design Competition winner for a resource centre to be located at the
foot of the Bennachie range.
The centre was to be multi-purpose and was to include exhibition space, audio-visual facilities and toilets
for walkers and yet was to be sensitive to the woodland setting.
The building is compact but involves a complex relationship of spaces reflecting the building’s various
uses. Natural materials were used with the main structure being timber frame with local stone used for
the courtyard and landscaping. Consideration was also given to energy conservation systems, the most
notable being the “breathing wall” system.

19. ‘Two Sites: One Vision’ creates two landmark buildings which will revitalise the waterfront and enhance
the perception of Bognor Regis as a place to live, work and visit as well as being the biggest construction
project in the regions history. On one side, the Healthy Living Site; Gateway Towers and the other,
the Leisure Heart Site. The Healthy Living Site provides two stunning towers together with a health
centre and new Council offices. The seafront Leisure Heart Site creates a sustainable mixed-use leisure
destination and focal point for the town and incorporates a theatre, cinema and hotel complex, residential
apartments, restaurants, shops and a public square provides year round usage whatever the weather.
The scheme utilises the coastal wind for power generation via its integrated wind turbines that are fitted
with LED lights on the wing tips that light up to form dynamic hologram images after sundown. As well
as adding visual impact to the design the turbines also form part of the environmental proposals that aim
to establish Bognor Regis as a beacon for sustainable development. The design establishes two key focal
points on the skyline and seafront and responds to its environment using local materials, retaining a sense
of context within its surroundings.

21. Lewis & Hickey were engaged by Rank Group plc to design and implement Hard Rock Cafes, retail
outlets and clubs across the UK and Europe. Sites included London, Paris, Amsterdam, Prague, Edinburgh,
Manchester, Birmingham and Dublin and many more.
We were responsible for checking potential sites for suitability and for assembling local implementation
teams where required to gain consents. Over 40,000 pieces of music memorabilia were incorporated
into the designs and displayed on walls, floors and ceilings often creating added drama to the spaces.
Each site had its own constraints and opportunities and was an individual design response to the location
whilst maintaining the rugged and hard-edged image of the brand. The L.E.D ghost guitar chandelier
hanging over the bar in Prague was custom made and is 5 metres long.

23. For many years, we have been responsible for a number of key projects for McDonalds. These included
many unique interiors, new drive-thru restaurants; refurbishment works to existing branches, internet
station installations and a host of other initiatives.
We applied a unique design concept to each location and introduced a ‘café style’ environment.
New fixtures, furniture, lighting and wall treatments completely transformed these restaurants into
vibrant, contemporary meeting places. All sites traded throughout the refurbishment works, and these
prestigious projects were completed on time and to budget.
More recently, our Mumbai office has continued the implementation of our expertise in these family
restaurants, and has completed a number of new format branches in India, with more in the pipeline.
From the largest Drive-thru to flagship branches, we continue to create stylish, easy to maintain
environments in tune with the McDonald’s ‘forever young’ theme.

25. Located on a 6.5 acre site, YMCA Ahmedabad covers 18,600m2
of world class sports and banqueting
facilities. In addition, a 9,300m2
lawn has been landscaped to provide a perfect setting for events
for up to 7000 people. Complimenting the gardens is the four storey structure itself. The sundecks,
terraces, soft roofs and screens are elements taken from traditional architecture but interpreted into
a contemporary context. The elevational elements add an interesting play of light and shadow in the
interior while making it sustainable in the extreme weather conditions.
The club building is designed around a central courtyard with the swimming pools, wet play areas and
cafes becoming the focal points. The triple height, open-to-sky atrium with its lush greens and water
features creates a vibrant interactive space and provides visual connection between the various floors.
The facilities along with the multimedia technology for the banquets, state of the art gymnasium
equipments, Olympic quality surfaces for jogging tracks, tennis courts and swimming pool technology
will make it one of a kind in India.

27. A prestigious new youth centre development that replaces a dilapidated structure, integrated alongside
and enhance an existing Grade II listed Georgian property. The requirements for this extensive
development were targeted at improving the facilities for both the existing youth user group and the
wider community, outlining the wish to strengthen and revitalise the activities and usage for this site.
The design meets the challenging criteria by providing new facilities, enhanced activity spaces and
sympathetic restoration works to an historic monument.
Clever use of space incorporates an ‘urban edge’, a landscape designed to promote full use of the
exterior space, with a contemporary youth zone and a cluster of sensory gardens. The solid urban edge
division allows these two distinctively different outdoor areas to co-exist next to each other, whilst
complimenting the surrounding environment. The interior design includes specialist learning zones and
full access for all. It will engage varying end users, including those needing disabled access, allowing
the space to be of greater benefit for the community and ensure young people experience a range of
activities and support in one location.

29. We’ve taken the kitchen aesthetic and brought it into the public space, with chunky stainless steel and
solid oak table tops; putting quality materials where they are appropriate and robust, no-nonsense
engineering to the rest of the interior. In creating the 1802 brand and environmental graphics, we chose
a name with historical reference (1802 was the date that West India Quay first opened), recognising
1802’s position as part of the museum whilst allowing it to legitimately stand alone as a destination.
The graphics take on a modern, contemporary feel. As the building speaks for itself we used simple
references to materials and water, giving a palette of colours deriving from rusting metal. Oversized
text and coloured bands have been applied directly to the walls, complimenting rather than dominating
the environment. Above all it’s about creating a place where people will enjoy good food, fine wine and
ice cool larger, where the host just wants everyone to relax and have a good time. The design should
compliment the experience.

Slovakia. Equipped with special hotel residences and balneal facilities. Integral parts of the centre are
conference and meditation spaces designed with particular care to allow for direct contact with nature.
Design focuses on quality of inner spaces and ecological aspects. All apartments are oriented towards
the south, offering impressive views of the mountain ranges. Lecture halls and meditation rooms are
situated towards the back of the complex, lit by diffuse light entering via several skylights to ensure a
strong ambience needed for spiritual activity.
