Studio 407

At Studio 407, we have been crafting destinations for over 20 years, creating places that delight visitors and satisfy owners alike. Our approach is centered around respecting the unique environment and cultural heritage of each region or community, and making a positive contribution to the lives and culture of that area. We have had the privilege of working with renowned owners, developers, operators, and governments worldwide. No two projects are alike, yet they all share a common goal: achieving critical balances between the needs of clients and the expectations of visitors, the wishes of the local community and the preferences of the international marketplace, and the desire for design innovation and the reality of economic restraints.

Sustainability

We strive to provide current and innovative solutions for our clients seeking to pursue a sustainable and environmentally responsible design approach. Our goal is to leave a positive legacy in our built projects and within our firm.

Digital Technology

We utilize Building Information Modeling (BIM) on all phases of project delivery. We are continually developing techniques to blend artists' concepts with the newest tools of technology to accurately design and refine our projects. This unique approach allows us to quickly produce accurate presentations while maintaining the warmth and feel of how the project is expected to perform.

Project Management

We understand the importance of a well-planned project. Our project managers assess the project characteristics to determine how to tailor the project management plan and its associated documentation. With decades of experience managing both large and small projects, we can help you prepare a realistic game plan for your project.

Hospitality

A hotel stay is not solely judged by the guestroom. It's an event; the views, the food, the technology, the rituals, the textures, and the atmosphere establish a sense of place. We strive to create environments that enhance the entire guest experience from beginning to end. We design revenue-generating, world-class venues that establish identity, create positive energy, and serve as destination environments for our partners and their guests. We know the immense value of our clients' brands and strive to create environments that enhance their reputation and loyalty.
