RPW Design Unveils Their Latest,
Hotly-Anticipated Project:
Fairmont St Andrews, Scotland
2017…/RPW Design, one of the world’s leading
hospitality interior design practices, is thrilled to
showcase its extensive refurbishment of the five-star
resort, Fairmont St Andrews. The highly anticipated
refurbishment was revealed in early September and
included a complete redesign of the hotel’s Atrium,
incorporating a bespoke 60m long ceiling sculpture by
award winning artist George Singer, a new restaurant
and the Kittock’s Bar.
The creative process behind RPW Design’s renovation
has been influenced by the history and landscapes
of St Andrews, with upholstery and fabrics selected
from revered Scottish companies such as Andrew
Muirhead and Bute Fabrics. Bute, based on the Isle of
Bute off west coast of Scotland provided a number of
richly textured fabrics in the scheme influenced by the
islands scenery. The company and the island share a
unique family history as the 5th Marquess of Bute set
up the company in 1947 to provide employment for
returning servicemen and servicewomen.
