Buildings of Learning
Major universities, colleges and schools in UK and USA use architecture to project something of the values of their particular institution. Our job is to ensure their buildings stay relevant and are practical, versatile, easy to manage and elegant to inhabit – principally in the public spaces: dining halls, common rooms, libraries, theatres and auditoria, galleries, meeting and conference rooms. Some of our academic clients in Oxford, Cambridge, Yale and Harvard have been coming back to us for more than 40 years.
Buildings of Worship
Cathedrals, parish churches, prayer halls, synagogues are major community buildings, rich in history, sentiment and architectural significance. Our aim is to design and make furniture that is compatible, dignified, practical, long-lasting and subservient to the architecture.
Buildings of Culture & Public Life
Theatres and concert halls, livery companies, Inns of Court, museums and galleries, courtrooms and institutional libraries – we have decades of experience and design solutions for dining, circulation, and public display.
The team at Luke Hughes Designs provide standard products, tailored products (adapted from standard production techniques) and bespoke pieces for site-specific projects.
