HERMANTES STUDIO

What HERMANTES STUDIO does

Hermantes Studio is a privately held, London-based interior design consultancy founded in 2018 and headquartered at Unit 2, 39 Gransden Avenue in East London's London Fields district. The firm operates as an interdisciplinary practice combining interior designers, architects, industry specialists and emerging talent, organised around three primary verticals: Workspace (commercial office design for developers, landlords and occupiers), Lifestyle (residential and hospitality interiors, including Grade I and II listed properties), and Wellbeing (healthcare environments supporting positive patient outcomes). Revenue is generated through project-based professional fees on a consultancy basis, with approximately 80% repeat business from local and global clientele.

The service offering comprises six integrated practices: Advisory, Architecture & Interior Design, Technical Design & Delivery, Digital Design, FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment), and Styling & Art. Underlying tools include BIM modelling, 3D laser surveys, point cloud modelling, CGI visualisation and workplace data analysis, with sustainability advisory and material specification embedded across the workflow. Notable credentials include the MUFG 51 Lime Street headquarters in the City of London, the Springer Nature Kings Cross cultural change programme consolidating workspace for approximately 2,000 staff, the Link Group Northern Hub — a 72,000 sqft BREEAM Outstanding fitout in Leeds, the £422 million UCLH facility delivered under PFI with 670 patient beds, The Shard viewing galleries delivered with Renzo Piano Building Workshop, the Embassy of Brazil refurbishment, and City of London School's Sixth Form Centre.

Distribution is direct: the studio engages enterprise, institutional and government clients (developers, landlords, occupiers, investors and departments) without intermediary channels, leaning on portfolio showcasing, award recognition (Mixology 2020/2021, Design Firm of the Year nomination) and reputation-based referrals. Geographic delivery extends beyond the UK into the Channel Islands, the Caribbean, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and India, supported in part by a long-term design alliance with GroupGSA in Australia for international projects.
