Located on the ground floor of Britomart’s Maritime building, Alma is a sensory restaurant. Specializing in Spanish cuisine, the restaurant is designed to bring joy, comfort, and pleasure to its patrons and their dining experience.

Tailor Inc. had the privilege of working closely with Hipgroup and Jack McKinney Architects in the realisation of their new restaurant.

Providing a bespoke client-side project management service, Tailor Inc. facilitated the design and delivery through regular PCG meetings and on-site client liaison with the contractors which included an overview of the project budget.

Despite numerous complexities in the structural aspect of the heritage building and the challenges of experiencing three rounds of lockdowns, our delivery team focused on solutions, leveraging our collective experience to manage time, cost, quality, and scope.

Property Strategy: The heart and the start

Strategy is the heart and driver of each of our projects. Correct and comprehensive planning is the key to unlock varied property opportunities. Every project is unique. Only by asking ‘What?’ and ‘Why?’ can we then determine the ‘How?’

We begin by gaining a clear understanding of your business and goals. We gather information, and above all, listen before we strategise and brainstorm collaboratively. It means our strategic thinking is founded on real problems or opportunities, so the resulting projects will deliver true value to your business.

Commercial Design: Beauty that means business

Is it beautiful if it isn’t functional? We don’t think so. That’s why your project won’t just meet your brand aspirations now and in the future, it will deliver on your functional needs. You’ll have the benefit of our team’s diverse and innovative perspectives from their varied design backgrounds, an agile design process to explore multiple avenues and our collaborative approach. Good design is a journey that begins with listening and understanding, so we arrive at a solution that perfectly suits your business. We have experience working on the workplace, retail, food and beverage, hotel and multi-storey residential projects.

Project Management: The delivery’s in the detail

Your unique understanding of how your project will drive value for your business – that’s where we start. Then we look past the obvious to extract that intrinsic value. Part of that is allowing a project to evolve during its life cycle, with firm change management to avoid scope creep, overspending and time-wasting. Together we can help you understand how to work within cost and time constraints while retaining maximum flexibility.

At every step, we focus on solutions, leveraging our creative background, collective experience and network of consultants to manage time, cost, quality and scope.
