International, collaborative and culturally engaged, BAR Studio specialises in the design of hotels and resorts throughout the world. Since 2003 we have established a portfolio of refined and sensitively realised projects. We are committed to design responses that form a sense of place, grounding each project in a material and aesthetic landscape. Above all else we value material and spatial quality, detail and the integrity of the designed outcome.
