Ros Banksia-Smith
Founder & Creative Partner
Design, interiors, hospitality and creative direction for distinctive places and experiences.
An ecosystem for human flourishing.
We bring design, property, hospitality and human development together — creating places, experiences and businesses that help people live healthier, more meaningful lives.
Our Belief
Business is a force for human flourishing.
We create the places, experiences and businesses that restore, elevate and inspire the human experience.
FF&E Advisory
FF&E that protects the design intent and the budget.
FF&E decides whether a property feels considered or generic, and whether the design budget survives procurement. We advise owners, designers, and operators on FF&E strategy, specification, procurement, and value engineering — without taking supplier commissions.
- 01FF&E strategy aligned to the brand and operating model
- 02Specification review and value engineering
- 03Supplier sourcing across Asia, Australia, and Europe
- 04Procurement and logistics oversight
- 05Post-installation defect and lifecycle planning
We can run any stage of this independently, or coordinate the whole program.
Strategy and specification reviews from USD 10k.
We do not accept supplier commissions, kickbacks, or volume incentives. Our fee is paid by the owner.
