Established in 1998 by Alistair McCaw and Yvonne Golds, we have carved a unique niche by specializing in both exhibition and interior design. A host of award-winning projects pays testimony to this winning combination of theatrical place-making plus narrative context.
Our team offers a complete package of spatial design skills including exhibition design, interiors, furniture, graphics, research and project management. In this way, even the most demanding project can be implemented seamlessly from concept to completion.
We take pride in our ability to interpret and stay true to the client's vision, from start to finish. Creativity, ingenuity, and the forging of close and harmonious client relationships, yield outstanding results every time.
Client testimonial:
"Real Studios' museum design experience, combined with a willingness to embrace and indeed pioneer new interpretation approaches, has made them an ideal partner for the National Maritime Museum as we set about redeveloping our permanent galleries."
Kevin Sumption, director of the National Maritime Museum's exhibitions and programmes.

What we do
The combination of interiors and exhibitions is part of our design DNA: marrying the sense of drama, mood and lighting that now typifies the best of contemporary interiors with a strong narrative sensibility, our schemes are instantly engaging and memorable. Whether luxury hotel or local history museum, each project makes a statement.
Our team has a strong architectural and cultural sensibility. Real Studios' schemes aim to enhance their environments, whether historic listed building or cutting-edge new arts centre. Each project is designed to reflect the prevailing zeitgeist, while ensuring they stand the test of time.
