At Gather & Grow Studios, we take a 360 degree approach to design, blending architecture, interiors, FF&E, and branding into one cohesive design.

We specialize in creating immersive, story-driven spaces for hospitality, food and bev, retail and commercial projects - always with the goal of bringing people together.

OUR DESIGN PROCESS BEGINS
WITH AN IN DEPTH INVESTIGATION
AND DISCOVERY PHASE

Design Approach

At Gather & Grow Studios, we approach every project with strategy, intention, and time-tested process: Define, Discover, Design & Deliver. Guided by curiosity, collaboration, and strategic thinking, our framework is tailored to the unique challenges and opportunities of each space - ensuring thoughtful, seamless execution.

We believe in flexibility without compromise, using a “good, better, best” approach to offer multiple solution paths. By balancing vision with real-world constraints - existing conditions, phasing, and budget - we craft designs that adapt, evolve and bring out the best in every project.

Step 1: Discover (Information Download)

Every project starts with deep discovery - analyzing existing conditions, engaging key stakeholders, and uncovering opportunities. Through site analysis, workshops, and hands-on research we gain a comprehensive understanding of the space, its challenges, and its potential. this foundation ensures that every design decision is rooted in strategy, purpose, and the needs of those who will experience it.

Step 2: Define (Concept Design)

Our designn process blends strategy and creativity, ensuring every
project is both
thoughtful and functional. We start with a detailed site investigation, documenting existing conditions, constraints, and opportunities. Then, we craft a Design Foundation - a conceptual
and visual framework that shapes the guest experience, guiding every decision that follows.

Step 3: Design (Design Development)

The Design Phase transforms the project concept into a fully realised vision - bringing together 3D visualization, space planning, and strategic implementation. We work collaboratively, keeping clients engaged with regular and real time updates.

We begin by exploring massing studies, programming options, and the guest journey, shaping the space with intention. Once the foundation is set, we refine the details - layering in materials, furniture, and lighting - to bring the design to life in a way that feels both seamless and impactful.

Step 4: Document (Construction Documents)

As an integrated design studio, we bring together technical expertise and strategic design thinking to ensure a smooth transition from concept to construction. During this phase we focus on millwork details, material transitions, and cost effective solutions - translating the vision into clear, actionable Construction Documents.

Every renovation project includes architectural oversight, ensuring precise detailing, smooth coordination, and expert problem solving. Our architects lead the final QA/QC review, ensuring the design is not only beautifully executed, but also functional, buildable, and aligned with project goals.

Step 5: Deliver (Construction Administration)

Construction is where the rubber hits the road. Especially in renovations - we see Construction Administration as a collaborative, problem-solving process, working closely with the GC to ensure seamless execution.

Beyond the standard RFI’s, submittals, and site visits, we stay hands-on - troubleshooting challenges, adapting to site conditions, and making real time adjustments while safeguarding design integrity. Our goal? To bring your project to life with precision, flexibility, and a commitment to the details that will make all the difference.
