PORTFOLIO the hickson design partnership
Chartered Architect
The Hickson Design Partnership is a London & Turin Architecture and Interior Design practice specialising in Hospitality and High End Residential Projects. THDP was established in 2004 by Nicholas Hickson and Manuela Mannino. The studio has brought together some of Britain’s & Italy’s diverse design talents to serve the most prestigious International clients.
THDP’s clients include; Hilton Worldwide, InterContinental Group, Gruppo Marcegaglia.
THDP was created when Nicholas Hickson, Manuela Mannino were commissioned in December 2004 to undertake the interior design for the Olympic Hotel Project ‘Pragelato Village Resort and Spa’ in Italy. The resort was already partly under construction and was to be the only Five Star resort of its kind in the Italian Alps with its own Alpine Spa. The resort opened for the February 2006 Turin Winter Olympics, and since then THDP have gone on to design many other hotels and residential interiors.
In 2012 THDP joined the Royal Institue of British Architects (RIBA) as Chartered Architects. In December 2012 THDP opened a new studio in Royal Borough of Greenwich, London. In 2014 The Albarella Capo Nord Hotel has been selected for the International Hotel and Property Awards.
THDP is a multidisciplinary company, equally comfortable engaging in the planning, consulting, development and execution of both Interior and Architectural projects. By providing customized solutions for clients favouring a progressive approach, the company is not narrowly focused but aims to be flexible, able to react to changing markets and the very different demands their diverse client base. THDP’s approach is one that eliminates the boundaries between Architects Designers and Artists, offering a diverse range of services to clients in major hospitality businesses, developers and private clients. Our aim is to develop a creative partnership between the client and the designer.
