What Savile Row does

Savile Row (legal name: Savile Row, DBA: Savile Row Tailored Environments) is a South African multidisciplinary architecture and interior design practice founded in 2007 and headquartered at 12 Rembrandt Street, Bryanston, Johannesburg, with a second office in Bournemouth, United Kingdom. The firm operates as a vertically integrated design practice, delivering workplace consulting, space planning, interior architecture, full architectural services, turnkey fitout, FF&E procurement, bespoke furniture design, 3D visualization, and environmental graphic design under one roof. Its service mix is supported by an in-house architectural visualization team and a small, formally qualified team of architects and designers organized with few layers of hierarchy. The firm explicitly rejects a "house style" in favour of a humanistic, place-sensitive methodology tailored to each client's brand, culture, and end users.
