Narrative is a design studio telling stories through spaces
We believe well designed spaces have a narrative as unique as the people who use them. Whether a space houses a business, a school or a home, the physical environment should describe the very heart of the community within it.
During our design process, we take the time to get to know you; your people, journey, culture, values and aspirations. We gather this information and thread the pieces together to create a ‘design narrative’, forming a design language to describe your story.
We design spaces for curiosity, collaboration, focus and nurturing, calm and energy. We work on schools, workplaces, residential, hospitality, events and wellness projects. Our studio works internationally and is based in The City of London, EC1.
