Unique selling points ray hole architects are international, award- winning architects underpinned by more than 30 years of experience gained in highly creative, multi-disciplinary design environments. The company adheres to an
’experience economic’ philosophy – whilst actively exploring numerous influences to develop an overall approach to design and architecture, thereby providing ’added value’ to clients, stakeholders, end-users, society and the environment.
Key customers Our attitude, understanding and experience is forging an increasingly influential role in assisting our clients to redefine the cultural, heritage, science, industrial, wildlife and themed visitor attraction sectors, but also in creating new opportunities within the commercial/industrial workplace.
Where in the world? We have live projects in the UK, Europe, Middle East and South East Asia, but have also worked in South Africa. We represent the UK on trade missions arranged through the UK T+I, in addition to attendance at in- ternational conference and trade shows.
Ray Hole, founder and MD
Plans for 2012 Developing an even greater understanding of sector trends is fundamental to our con- tinued ability to deliver commercially sound, revenue-generating and operationally ef- ficient visitor experiences. Therefore, active membership of appropriate client bodies and participation in industry conferences and international trade missions is crucial. China has been elusive to our practice
until now. A number of pressing challenges face this increasingly powerful economy, which could provide potential opportunities for us to introduce our broader knowledge base and design approach. We will develop the core team at our
London-based studio, but continue to be as flexible and receptive as possible in the current cautiously optimistic market. We have a range of live projects in
design development, which should short- ly convert to on-site implementation, such as museums in Saudi Arabia, zoo masterplans in the UK and an unusual boutique ’hotel’.
2012 trade shows BIAZA, IAAPA, ECSITE, EAS, SATE, LIW, Vi- sion XS, M+H and Global Business Summit.
