Services
Every FCD engagement is built around one promise: a space that regulates the people inside it, delivered by the same team that designed it. We work with luxury hotels, restaurants, spas and residences — and we structure every project through three phases, so you always know what you're buying, what it costs, and who is accountable.
Wellness design sprint:
Every engagement begins here. Four weeks. Fixed fee. No open-ended discovery.
The Sprint is a complete wellness experience strategy for your project: who your guest is, what state their body should move through — from arrival to departure — and how light, sound, material, air and flow will get them there. You leave with a concept direction, a spatial diagram, a realistic budget, and a clear decision about whether and how to proceed.
For hotel developers, the Sprint doubles as a feasibility tool. For restaurant groups, it becomes the sensory brief your architect, chef and brand team all build from. Either way, it is the fastest, lowest-risk way to find out what your project wants to be. Deliverables: Wellness experience strategy . concept direction . spatial diagram budget framework . four weeks, fixed fee.
design- Build Delivery:
Most studios design a space, hand over drawings, and hope. We don't hand off.
FCD carries the project through procurement and construction: sourcing and purchasing FF&E directly from suppliers and millworkers, managing the general contractor, supervising construction quality, and navigating New York's approvals and formalities with in-house expeditors. Design supervision protects the concept from value engineering — the quiet way great spaces die on spreadsheets.
Then we style to the last detail: OS&E direction, art selection and placement, tabletop design, uniforms — every object your guest touches, chosen to belong to the same nervous system as the room.
One studio. One accountable team. Your general contractor builds; we design, procure, supervise and protect — so what we promise in concept is what your guests feel on opening night.
INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN:
Full interior architecture and interior design, concept through construction documentation, for wellness hotels, restaurants, spas and luxury residences.
We design from the body outward. Spatial planning built on refuge and prospect. Lighting designed for circadian rhythm, not just atmosphere. Acoustics tuned for the human voice. Materials chosen for sensory coherence — natural, tactile, honest to the hand. Custom FF&E, hand-selected furniture, and art and object curation where the boundary between art and design does the quiet work.
styling / os&e:
We like to be involved in every detail, so we offer styling, art selection, and design direction for OS&E for hotel rooms, tabletop designs, and uniforms to ensure all the details fit your new interiors and branding.
Brand Identity & Creative Direction
A wellness space and its brand are one nervous system — a guest should feel the same thing on your website, your menu, and in your rooms. For hospitality and wellness projects, we direct the full visual identity alongside the space: brand strategy and positioning, logo and the graphic world around it, typography, color, and art direction. Every engagement delivers a complete brand guideline your team and outside consultants can build on — so the brand and the interior never drift apart.
Why we are different:
“Well-Being and Humans First” – we want to reimagine how we create places where we reside and play with the well-being of humans in mind first and foremost.
