Hospitality

We design hotels and hospitality properties, from initial property assessment through to opening

For over forty years, we have supported owners, investors and hotel operators in the development, refurbishment and expansion of hotels and hospitality properties.

OUR APPROACH

We combine architecture, interior design, engineering and project management to create distinctive, functional spaces that can be successfully delivered.

Based in Florence, we work throughout Italy, with particular expertise in existing buildings, listed properties and the planning and approval procedures applicable in Florence and Tuscany.

PHASES

From asset to opening

A single point of coordination throughout every stage of the project.

01

Due Diligence and Preliminary Assessment

We assess the property, the available documentation and the applicable planning, building and heritage framework, identifying its potential, critical issues and the requirements necessary for its redevelopment.

02

Integrated Detailed Design

We develop and coordinate architecture, interior design, structures, MEP systems and fire safety, using BIM methodology where appropriate, through to the detailed definition of spaces and construction details.

03

Permits and Approvals

We manage planning, landscape, health and hygiene, fire safety and business licensing procedures, including SUAP applications, while maintaining ongoing liaison with the relevant authorities.

04

Tendering and Construction

We support the procurement and appointment of contractors and oversee the construction phase through works supervision, health and safety coordination, project management and construction management, with close control of programme, cost and quality.

05

Project Close-out and Opening

We coordinate project completion, occupancy certification, cadastral updates, SUAP applications and all administrative requirements necessary to commence operations.
