About Us
Design Command is a London and Hertfordshire based Interior Architecture Studio founded in 2013 by Clare McDonald.
Since its inception, the studio has grown steadily, working across restaurants, hotels, student accommodation, residential and workplace environments throughout the United Kingdom and Europe. Our experience spans more than sixty restaurant projects and a wide range of hotel and living environments for both independent operators and international hospitality groups, including collaborations with brands such as Accor, Hyatt and IHG.
Alongside our hospitality work, we have delivered contemporary dining concepts, luxury student living for Collegiate AC and design projects for leading developers including Mount Anvil and Landmark Space. Each project is approached with the same commitment to thoughtful planning, expressive materiality and a clear design narrative.
Passionate designers, inspiring spaces
Our team is made up of passionate and talented designers who care deeply about detail and the experience of the people who use each space. We bring our experience and creative flair to realise our clients’ ambitions.
No project is too big or small, we will bring all our experience and flair to realise your design dreams.
