RESEARCH & PROJECT BRIEFS

Understand what matters. Give the project a shared direction.

A useful brief connects what your business needs with the people who will use and operate the space. We work with your team to understand the customer experience, the daily operation and the questions the project needs to answer.

Whether you are exploring a new format, entering a market or improving an existing location, we bring research and practical design thinking together. The aim is a brief that helps everyone review options against the same priorities.

HOW WE CAN HELP

Listen to the people involved

Conversations with your brand and operating teams help establish ambitions, constraints and the decisions ahead. Customer behaviour and the work taking place behind the scenes both inform the direction.

Connect insight with the space

We consider how people arrive, move, choose and interact, alongside circulation, service and operational needs. Research and observation help identify what the design should improve and what should be retained.

Turn findings into a brief

We bring the priorities together in a clear project direction. An agreed brief gives your team a reference for layouts, experience and design choices, with open questions identified before detailed work begins.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHT

Sirloin Stockade

The Sirloin Stockade brief brought together a smaller restaurant format, younger guests and the brand’s familiar welcome. Fresh considered dining trends, guest and staff circulation, and the relationship between the experience and the operation to develop the prototype concept.
