Testimonials
“I met designLSM fortuitously at a business networking meeting. From the first design meeting I felt they really understood what we wanted and have designed an atmospheric environment that suits the brand and serves our fast-paced, self-service lunch offer as well as a table-service evening set-up; a difficult thing to do both logistically and visually. They've been great to work with, keeping a sense of humour whilst meeting very tight deadlines professionally. I hope we'll be working with them on more projects.”
Emma Reynolds – Tsuru Japanese Restaurants
“The rapid growth of iCrossing in recent years meant that we very quickly grew out of our old premises and needed to move to bigger, brighter and bolder offices that would create an inspirational space for our staff as well as servicing the needs of our clients. DesignLSM understood our brief from the start, our working environment had to look and feel fresh whilst maintaining a sense of functionality at the same time. Simon Spiteri and his team creatively built upon our own ideas whilst providing exemplary project management skills, and adapted to any changes that were thrown their way. They understood the importance of adhering to budgets whilst not compromising on the quality and finish of the design. We have been left with a beautiful space above and beyond what we hoped to achieve”.
