"Ralph + Smith went through a very competitive tendering process to be awarded the contract as interior designers for our Central Spaces project at St Catharine’s College, Cambridge. As well as providing the overall interior design for spaces, they procured some beautiful furniture for us and navigated some interesting challenges.
It is not always easy to find consensus when seeking decisions in the Collegiate environment, but Chloe and Claire showed patience and tenacity and found the right balance with some schemes that we would never have come up with without their skills."
Helen Hayward | Operations Director | St Catharine’s College
Ralph + Smith were awarded the Central Spaces interior design and FF&E contract after a vigorous competitive design process for the ‘new’ Sydney Smith Room.
Creating a new second Fellows Room was sometimes a challenge that we enjoyed! We collaborated closely with The Fellows to produce a quiet haven with a more contemporary look than other spaces within the College.
