Hotel architecture with a system.

From initial brief to opening day: hotel planning and specialist consultancy for investors, operators and hotel groups.

Services Building & Interior Planning

Hundreds of hotel projects across Germany and abroad, spanning four decades of uninterrupted practice, form the foundation of an expertise that few planners in Europe can match. New build, extension and refurbishment within existing structures are equally within our scope.
Define the brief
Tailored functional programmes, operational flow charts and room-relationship diagrams that translate business objectives into buildable plans.
Test feasibility
Independent assessment of realisability through concept planning, planning law review and building code analysis.
Budget & cost planning
Detailed room programmes, net-to-gross area targets and robust CAPEX forecasts — the numbers investors and lenders need.
Detailed design

Full architectural and interior design services across all HOAI fee phases.

Delivery & supervision
Tender preparation, specification writing and on-site supervision of works — through to practical completion.
Project management
End-to-end programme leadership: schedule control, cost control and quality assurance across every phase.

Services Strategic Advisory & Analysis

HOTCHECKS

Structured condition assessment of hotel properties: current maintenance status, deferred liability and priority capital expenditure – documented and prioritised.

Maintenance Assessment (for landlords)
Independent verification of whether your lessee has honoured contractual maintenance and upkeep obligations — a robust basis for lease renewals or disputed handbacks.
Planning Review
Critical analysis of existing scheme drawings for operational efficiency, spatial performance and cost exposure.
Expert Consulting
Hands-on hotel-specific support for architects and project teams without in-house hospitality experience — brand standards, room mix, operator requirements.
Brand Standards
Concept development and documentation of hotel-specific brand identities — connecting design intent to operational and franchisor requirements.
Site Assessment
Objective evaluation of a site’s specific suitability for hotel development: zoning, configuration, demand context and development risk.

Portfolio Projects & Works

From boutique property to design-led budget hotel to first-class business hotel – spaces that engage guests and satisfy operators in equal measure.

Founder & Principal

Since 1987 Design that works for the business

I have been planning hotels for the better part of four decades. The central lesson is unchanged: a hotel performs when its design and its operations are built around the same logic. Trained as an engineer and practised as a hotel consultant, I understand both sides of the table — the investor who needs to defend the numbers, and the guest who needs to feel that the space was made for them.
