ABOUT US
Wherever you find us, you’ll find the same energy, soul, and spark.
We build spaces around the world, but our purpose is always personal. With studios in the UK, USA, and Australia, Harrison is a global design consultancy rooted in people-first thinking. For over 35 years, we’ve blended brand strategy, interior design, and architecture to create hospitality environments that connect deeply and perform powerfully.
Our teams might work oceans apart, but we move with a shared belief: that design should make people feel something; seen, welcomed, inspired. Whether shaping a new-to-market prototype, revitalizing a heritage brand, or designing the next neighborhood favorite, we lead with clarity, creativity, and care.
Because no matter the brief or the backdrop, we’re here to make meaningful experiences and we do it together.

OUR SERVICES
Not just a design studio; we are strategic partners, visionaries,
and innovators.
Branding
Brands with purpose. Stories with impact.
We build brands with strategy, clarity, and imagination designed to connect, resonate, and drive loyalty.
Architecture
Architecture that inspires. Building form with purpose.
We design architecture that expresses identity, shapes experience, and elevates presence from entry to skyline.
Interior Design
Interiors that connect. Stories that unfold.
We design interiors that move people by shaping story, emotion, and brand into every guest experience.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Design is more than a deliverable, it’s how we think, how we lead and how we shape what’s next.
“Design lets me shape something bigger than myself.”
– Sarah, USA
“Hospitality is emotional. That’s where design begins.”
– Paul, AUS
“Creativity is our engine—but delivery is how we earn trust.”
– Geoff, USA
“I believe in the power of learning, integrity, and curiosity.”
– Kevin, UK
