Dominic was inspired to become a designer by the graceful proportions and fine detailing of his grandparents’ Georgian home. The projects he works on today are decidedly more contemporary, but he has retained his focus on detail and the importance of craft.

Whether designing urban hotels, such as Sofia Balkan Palace or, currently, mountain retreats including Aminona Luxury Resort and Elatos Resort, Dominic looks at every project in a global sense, from the broad picture to the smallest element. A natural problem-solver, he believes that any design should be underpinned by the very best technical know-how.

“I believe that a good designer has to re-invent. It’s about being inspired by the world around you and channelling that into a well-conceived design.”
