RCstudio
Spatial design, interiors, installations, and fast visual thinking - for studios, independents, and individuals who want early ideas made visible.
I help you surface what's hidden in early briefs and emerging concepts, turning them into something visible and ready for the next step.
A short, focused conversation to see if a Live Design Session makes sense.
Live Design Session
90-minute working session
When an idea is worth working through properly, we move into a Live Design Session.A focused 90-minute working session where we think and model together, live — turning rough material into something visible, discussable, and clearer.The session focuses on active spatial thinking and live modelling, with clarity and direction as the outcome.
Selected Work
MAI Rack v1
Canvas storage solution for a working artist in Manchester. Concept to construction drawings in 3 days. Client built it from the documentation.
Before — unused wall space above the door
Project - 3D overlay
After — slatted canvas rack, wall-mounted
Construction drawing — MAI Rack v1, RC Studio
Cloudsteppers Concept Store
A retail format developed within the Clarks design team.
I contributed the internal spatial layout, fixture arrangement, and the 3D visualisations used to test and communicate the concept.
It’s an example of how early spatial ideas can be clarified quickly through visual framing and focused iteration — the same principles behind the sessions I now run.
Exterior view — clear visibility and a light, readable layout.
Wider exterior view — the envelope and key spatial moves.
Client: Clarks (CLOUDSTEPPERS)
Role: Spatial layout and 3D visualisation within the internal design team.Published:

Atmospheric Variants Study
A form study exploring how a neutral base volume behaves across different atmospheres and material directions.
Using a mixed technique to turn a mental image into a set of controlled spatial variations, the work shows how form, light, and material can shift direction quickly while remaining grounded in a single underlying geometry.
Simple 3D starting form — the foundation for all explorations.
Warm, cool, saturated, and atmospheric takes — controlled shifts from the same geometry.
Client: Internal studio investigation
Role: Geometry, direction-setting, atmosphere and material iteration
Purpose: Early-stage spatial exploration and rapid directional testing
HOW IT WORKS
A simple, focused way of working
Most early-stage spatial projects move faster when the process is light, visual, and time-boxed.
This is how we collaborate.
Start
We meet in focused sessions.
We work together live, focusing on the idea, layout, or question you bring.
Work
We model and think together live, ending with visible output and a short written recap.
What do you do?
I help clarify early spatial ideas through conversation and live modelling.
Who is this for?
Studios, teams, independents, and anyone who wants fast, senior input at the early stage of a spatial or installation project.
FREQUENT QUESTIONS
FAQ
1. What do I need to bring to a session?Anything you have — a sketch, a reference, a photo, or even just a problem you’re trying to solve. Early, rough material is perfect.2. Do you create full architectural drawings or compliance packages?No. These sessions focus on clarity, direction, and early-stage ideas — not detailed architectural documentation.3. Can you work with any style or context?Yes. The process adapts to whatever you bring — retail, interiors, events, installations, concepts, or something unclear that needs shaping.4. Do you use AI in the process?Lightly and only when helpful — as a quick exploratory tool, not as a replacement for judgement or design thinking.
