17th December, 2025 | Remarcable
As the calendar turns on 2025, we at Remarcable Design are taking a moment to reflect on our design and appreciate a truly transformative year.
From architecting sophisticated commercial spaces and cutting-edge healthcare facilities to embarking on deeply personal domestic projects, this year demanded an even deeper commitment to intentional, restorative design. It was a period of both scaling interior design services and profoundly deepening our design philosophy, particularly our approach to human-centric design.
We sat down with our co-founders, Reni and Marc, for an unscripted Q&A to guide our year-end reflection, uncover the key learnings, and highlight the strategic vision for Remarcable Design moving forward.
Q1: What was the Overarching Theme That Defined Remarcable Design's Projects This Past Year?
This year was all about deepening roots while continuing to scale. We've grown alongside our long-standing clients, expanding existing spaces and helping them evolve into their next chapter, and scaling together nationally.
We also had the privilege of taking on several projects for family-run brands; assignments that naturally became more personal. When you work with people whose businesses are intertwined with their stories, trust becomes the foundation of every design decision. These collaborations reminded us why we do what we do: to build spaces that strengthen relationships, not just operations.
Q2: How Has Remarcable Design's Expertise in Human-Centric Design Evolved in the Last Twelve Months?
This year, we took a brave opportunity to step into the domestic interior design London sector, and it pushed our human-centric design philosophy to a whole new level. Designing for commercial interior design requires empathy for teams and customers, but designing for a family requires an understanding of their entire rhythm of life.
Working inside someone's home on a large-scale project meant diving deeply into how each family member lives, thinks, and interacts with their environment. We spoke with the individual members to understand their goals, their habits, everything from where they like to chill to the flow of morning routines.
This level of insight shaped an interior that not only functioned well but also actively supported their well-being. That's where human-centric design becomes powerful: it transforms spaces into tools for better living. This domestic expansion sharpened our ability to design with empathy, precision, and long-term thinking, a skill set that we now bring back into our commercial interior design work with renewed depth.
Q3: What Essential Strategic Approach Became Most Critical to Your Design Process This Year?
Designing with the end destination in mind ... even when the road is still being built!
Several projects required us to design during live construction phases, meaning decisions had to be both imaginative and practical. While walls were open and contractors were moving at speed, we had to visualise the final experience in granular detail so we could advise on critical elements like cable routing, structural adjustments, and secondary lighting opportunities.
These design process insights highlight the importance of seamless design and construction coordination to ensure our original creative vision for the final experience. It was strategic foresight meets real-time problem-solving. This approach ensured that even in dynamic environments, the outcome still aligned with our original creative vision, being functional, cohesive, and intuitive.
Q4: What Was the Toughest Design Challenge You Faced This Year, and How Did You Solve It?
One of our most exciting and challenging projects underway is a bespoke 6 metre lighting installation within a staircase. Every designer dreams of a canvas like this, but this one came with a twist: we were retrofitting it, not planning it from the shell and core.
Working from a CAT A stage meant navigating existing constraints, structural limitations, and limited access, all while designing a statement piece that feels effortless and beautifully integrated. Addressing these interior design challenges and the level of interior design project management required has been a masterclass in precision, coordination, and creative resilience
Ask us again next year... we can't wait to share the final reveal.
Q5: Looking Ahead: What's the Strategic Vision for Remarcable Design in the New Year?
Next year is about intentional expansion: of our team, our services, and our internal processes. As a growing small business, the delivery side often takes center stage, but we are dedicating time to refining the internal processes that keep us agile and innovative.
We are building stronger systems, revisiting our design frameworks, and updating our manuals to reflect how far we have come and where we are heading. By strengthening the backbone of the studio, we can continue to elevate the experience for our clients and deliver work that feels unmistakably Remarcable.
Conclusion: The Enduring Power of Empathy in Design
2025 proved that design is not just about aesthetics or function; it is a commitment to the human experience. For Remarcable Design, the year was defined by a critical evolution: moving our human-centric principles from the commercial sphere into the intimate rhythm of the home.
This challenge not only expanded our portfolio but also deepened our empathy, sharpened our strategic foresight during complex, live construction projects, and reaffirmed the power of trust in collaboration.
As we look forward to the new year, our vision for the design strategy 2026 is clear: to intentionally refine our internal structure, ensuring we continue to deliver the unique blend of personal attention and masterful execution that our clients have come to expect. We are excited to carry the depth and precision gained this year into every future project, ensuring every space we touch is not just remarkable, but truly restorative.
Thank you for following our journey. We look forward to sharing more of our exciting work, including that 6-metre lighting reveal, in the year to come!
