Last week we wished, Nichole, our much-loved colleague well wishes and held a celebration in her honour as she is having her first baby.

We had a great event filled with cupcakes, scones, and heartfelt messages from all her colleagues. There were also messages from those with children themselves warning Nichole of her soon to be ‘no sleep’ agenda… We played some games and had a thoroughly good time playing ‘guess who’ with baby pictures of all the BSA team!

So, congratulations to you, Nichole. We can’t wait to see you and the baby soon!

Happy International Women’s Day to all, let’s continue to celebrate the women in our lives and all their achievements and successes.

This Throwback Thursday we are looking back at The Nici Hotel, formerly known as ‘The Savoy Hotel’, which received planning permission in September 2022. The Nici has recently won a number of awards ranging from ‘Best New Hotel’ to ‘Best Interior Hotel Renovation’ and has even been featured in many destination magazines. We are proud to have been part of this project.

The BrightSPACE technical team is currently working on the next stages of the hotel’s development, focusing on the Garden Restaurant. This is due to be completed in the spring of this year, but in the meantime we are keen to see the progress on site and hope to be able to share some images soon.

Welcome to BrightSpace Architects

We combine design quality and commercial acumen with an emphasis on delivery to create places and spaces that enhance people's lives.

Our team works across all stages of the design, planning and construction process collaborating with clients, communities and end-users to deliver uplifting residential, mixed-use, education, leisure and commercial projects.

Whether it’s a one-off home or a major urban regeneration scheme, our talented designers bring the same creativity, skill and passion to each and every project. We work from our purpose-built studio on the Dorset and Hampshire border but our projects take us all around the country.
