Designing and building fresh, innovative and original venues, for those with the courage to create something different. Forward thinking for those that want to inspire their clientele. For those with a thirst to create wow for every single person that crosses their threshold. We make spaces.
Spaces to ignite, unite and excite. Spaces to create memories – the perfect shot. Spaces that welcome the foodie, the bar-hop, the instagrammer, the influencer, the noisemaker.
We are the master builders, the concept designers, the risk-takers, the attention to detail-ers. We activate your purpose and proposition with the fundamental creative building blocks all spaces need: from colour, to furniture through to bespoke and built-in. Design is powerful, so we make sure you have a distinctive, memorable space and visual cues that are right for your brand.
We ensure your space’s expression is more than just four pretty walls: it should be able to communicate through light, as well as creating a presence in a non-visual way through sound and touch. We’ll help you translate the essence of your identity into a practical and intuitive space, so that it’s easy to navigate and thrive in this digitally-native, experience-hungry, insta-happy age.
Meet The Concept Designers & Builders
Nick comes from a family of makers. Growing up in his family businesses, studying construction to postgraduate level, and taking the time to work in kitchens has given Nick a unique vista when it comes to designing, choreographing and building a commercial space.
Catherine studied interior design at KLC and Central St. Martins, and had a tiring yet successful career in the wine industry before teaming up with Nick to start 2G. Catherine works to develop the creative direction of the firm and ensures that projects are meticulously penned before work starts.
Aisling brings a wealth of knowledge to 2G. She trained at Chelsea college of art (UAL) and worked for S&Y architects in London where she gained experience and flair for commercial design. She later moved to Faber in Birmingham before moving over to 2G. She has been responsible for creating some truly memorable spaces, notably ‘Vivi’ restaurant at centre point London and Nocturnal Animals in Birmingham.
Sean started with 2G as an electrician, yet his extensive knowledge and ability in all areas of the build process quickly became apparent. He has strengthened this through further study and his incredible inquisitive and organised nature. He has become an invaluable project manager for 2G and his natural ability to communicate effectively with everyone has made him a popular team member, not only within the fold, but with clients too.
These are the people that make our incredible spaces. Our build team is made of of some of Birmingham's finest tradesmen, from master builders to carpenters, to plumbers.
We design and build transformative spaces that move businesses, homes and public spaces forward.
Our studios are in Birmingham, UK.
