As one of the leading names in cosmetic and beauty therapies, Zen Lifestyle demanded a centre which combined the luxury of a five star spa, while retaining the functionality of busy city centre salon. Space Solutions handled the entire project, from inception to completion, creating a stunning venue which delighted the client.

Mr McGurk added: “It was a new challenge for us in terms of the type of premises involved. However, we were true to our principles of design excellence, effective space management and always listening to the needs of the client. The result was a resounding success.”

Those same principles also won plaudits from staff and customers at respected Edinburgh restaurant, Lancers. There the Space Solutions team completed a full re-design of the restaurant.

The thoughtful reworking remained true to the restaurant’s imperial military theme, while creating a contemporary new space, with designer furniture and a new bar area. It reopened earlier this year to rave reviews.

Elsewhere, Space Solutions also masterminded the extensive redesign of two other renowned restaurants, Voujon and Pataka, with a clear brief to refresh and reinvigorate the restaurants through best possible use of space and design.
