Strategic, commercially intelligent design for ambitious hospitality brands.
Beau Riley delivers end-to-end commercial interior design for operators opening a new site or undertaking a significant refurbishment.
Every project is designed around how your restaurant actually runs — how the team move during service, how the space feels when it’s full, and how every square metre earns its place. Good design should not just look strong on opening night. It should support the business behind it.
Alongside this, design integrity remains central. Each space is developed with a clear aesthetic direction, thoughtful material choices and spatial clarity, ensuring the finished environment feels distinctive and true to your brand.
This service is typically suited to overall build budgets between £300,000 and £1,000,000.
WHOS IS IT FOR?
This service is designed for hospitality operators who:
Are opening a new site or undertaking a significant refurbishment
Want full professional oversight rather than managing consultants and contractors themselves
Understand that layout, lighting and operational flow directly impact profitability
Value considered, design-led spaces that differentiate their brand
If you are looking for a strategic design partner to lead the project rather than simply supply drawings, this is the appropriate level of service.
WHAT A FULL DESIGN SERVICE DELIVERS;
At this level, design is both creative and accountable.
You benefit from:
• Spatial planning that maximises covers without compromising experience
• Layouts that make sense during a busy shift and support smooth service
• Clear translation of your brand into a physical environment
• Detailed technical drawing packages for accurate contractor pricing
• Direct coordination with contractors and consultants throughout the build
• Ongoing oversight to ensure what was designed is what gets delivered
The objective is simple: to deliver a space that works as hard as you do.
WHEN TO GET IN CONTACT?
The earlier design is involved, the greater the impact.
Ideally, I am engaged before lease sign-off or at the very start of planning. Early involvement allows critical decisions around layout, services, lighting and compliance to be resolved before they become costly on site.
I can also support during site selection. Feasibility layouts and initial capacity studies help assess whether a potential unit can deliver the covers, flow and operational performance your business model requires before you commit to a lease.
It is never too early to have a strategic conversation about a potential site.
Selective by Design
I take on a limited number of commercial projects each year. This ensures senior-level involvement throughout and maintains the depth of thinking required for complex hospitality environments.
Every project receives focused attention from concept through to completion.
