our story
THDP was founded by partners Architect Manuela Mannino & Interior Designer Nick Hickson in 2005 - together they have over 50 years of experience. With studios in London and Milan, THDP designs and oversees pioneering projects throughout Europe.
THDP’s creative teams have been hand-chosen and work comfortably in the demanding discipline of hospitality design.
Our approach springs from an endless creative curiosity, we are not just designers, architects, concept developers, photographers, or communicators – we are all of those and much more.
As designers we are ‘storytellers’, this is the foundation of a clear, appealing, and distinctive concept & narrative, in short, THDP creates evocative interiors, hotels, and restaurants.
