Interior Design

Professional interior practice, hospitality renderings, and exhibition proposals sit together here because each project plans how people move through a room and what they notice first.


On the work

A room is read before it is used — history and material decide how it is felt.

The practice runs from high-end residential interiors and kitchens — including bulthaup work in New York — through to hospitality concept renderings, carried from first concept to installation. AutoCAD, Revit, and V-Ray are the instruments; proportion, light, threshold, and finish are the argument.

Research comes first. How a material was used, where a form came from, what a space once meant — that history shapes the plan before a single line is drawn, so the finished room reads as considered rather than merely styled.

  • Concept to installation
  • AutoCAD / Revit / V-Ray
  • Material & finish specification
  • Hospitality concept renderings

Spatial Method

That same intelligence moves across three uses of space: daily living, guest experience, and an exhibition route.

01

Domestic Systems

Residential kitchens and interiors: proportion, material choices, documentation, and the practical flow of daily use.

02

Hospitality Atmosphere

Reception, bar, restaurant, lobby, and guest-room concepts shaped through light, threshold, and material contrast.

03

Exhibition Narrative

Research, objects, signage, and visitor path organized into a two-room exhibition proposal.

Hospitality Renderings

Immersive environments where material history and contemporary luxury converge.

What Plumstead Adds

The exhibition work sits inside Interior Design because it uses the same skills at a larger scale: planning a visitor route, arranging objects in rooms, and using graphic identity to support the exhibition route.

  • Research-led concept development
  • Spatial storytelling and installation planning
  • Exhibition identity, signage, catalogue, and banner system
  • Marketing, advertising, social, and event strategy
