AvroKO has spearheaded some of the most iconic hospitality projects across the globe. Notable works include:

Chicago Rare at Four Seasons Doha & Revery Bar at London Hilton on Park Lane

Recent standouts from AvroKO’s London studio include Chicago Rare at the Four Seasons in Doha and Revery Bar at the newly renovated London Hilton on Park Lane. These projects have received prestigious accolades—Revery Bar won the Gold Key Award for Best Upscale Restaurant and the Restaurant & Bar Design Award for Best Europe Restaurant/Bar. Both spaces merge cultural influences with playful design elements around a central theme, creating immersive, unforgettable hospitality experiences.

Conrad Athens

A significant current project is the new Conrad Athens, where AvroKO’s London studio is leading the design. A critical part of this process involved the visualization of the lobby, which underwent multiple redesigns. Architectural rendering by Omegarender played a vital role in securing client approval, as the realistic visualizations helped bridge the gap between concept and execution.

SLS Barcelona & The Ilisian, Athens

AvroKO’s global expansion continues with its recent completion of multiple restaurant spaces at the SLS Barcelona, marking the brand’s first European property. Additionally, the firm is playing a key role in the development of The Ilisian, a new luxury lifestyle destination in Athens, set on the site of the former Hilton Athens.

Visualizing Excellence

AvroKO collaborates with Omegarender, the house of high-end visualizations, to bring its hospitality projects to life. Recommended through AvroKO’s San Francisco studio, Omegarender has consistently impressed with exceptional art direction, precision in execution, and high-comfort communication, making it an invaluable partner in communicating design ideas to clients.

The Role of Rendering in AvroKO’s Success

High-end architectural visualization enhances AvroKO’s ability to effectively present designs to clients and stakeholders. As Chris Clements, AvroKO Studio Director, explains:
"Some clients need to see the space as close to the real thing to approve the design, and Omega makes that a more seamless task."

Omegarender’s visualizations serve multiple functions, including:

Architectural Rendering as a Storytelling Tool

Reflecting on the collaboration, Clements shares:"Lighting and texture are key components to creating our design narratives, and Omegarender captures these elements in a way that translates that story to our clients with ease."

Sustainable Collaboration

Collaboration is a cornerstone of AvroKO’s success. The firm ensures strong communication between internal teams and external partners by maintaining clear and consistent communication that sets expectations—an approach that maximizes collaboration and leads to great results.

Overcoming Challenges in High-End Hospitality Design

Working in the luxury hospitality sector comes with inherent challenges. However, AvroKO’s integrated, collaborative approach allows the firm to anticipate and overcome potential industry hurdles from the outset. By taking a proactive stance, AvroKO ensures seamless execution in its high-end hospitality and F&B projects.

The Future of AvroKO

AvroKO continues to expand its presence worldwide. As Clements highlights:"Not only our London studio but all of AvroKO’s studios are continuing to grow and work on exciting projects globally."

With an ever-growing portfolio and an unwavering commitment to innovation, craftsmanship, and storytelling, AvroKO remains at the forefront of global hospitality design.
