ADVISORY & DESIGN PRACTICE
Pen & Brick provides selective advisory support for the design and delivery of experience-led spaces, events, and immersive environments. This work supports organisations, project teams, and institutions in shaping travel, retail, and premium public spaces that are clear in intent, well resolved in execution, and satisfying to use over time.
The advisory practice draws on Raymond Girard’s formal training in interior design and architecture, combined with award-winning experience designing hospitality environments, VIP lounges, and aircraft seating, as well as long-standing leadership across travel, media, branding, and complex, multi-stakeholder environments. Engagements are senior-led and collaborative, supporting projects at moments where clarity, alignment, and judgment matter most.
THE ADVISORY PRACTICE IS:
Experience and space/place strategy
Defining the intended experience of a space and how it should feel, function, and be perceived by its users.
Design and concept review Providing an experience-led perspective on architectural and interior concepts, working respectfully alongside design teams to inform decisions without duplicating or directing design roles.
Alignment between design, brand, and operations
Helping ensure that architectural intent, brand narrative, operational needs, and commercial realities are working together and survive project delivery.
Premium travel, retail, and public environments
Supporting spaces such as airport lounges, passenger-facing environments, retail flagships, and other high-use public settings.
Decision support at key project moments
Offering clarity and perspective at early framing stages, concept development, and critical decision points as projects evolve.
