Our Story

Rockett Studio was founded by Geila Daughtrey in Singapore in 2014, following more than 25 years designing commercial and hospitality interiors across the UK, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

From the beginning, Geila’s approach has shaped the studio: deeply personal, led by empathy and meticulous research, and grounded in the architecture, heritage and culture of each place.

“I’ve always believed that great hospitality design tells a story. It’s never just about creating a beautiful space - it’s about capturing the spirit of a place and translating that into an experience people connect with and remember."

In 2022, Rockett expanded to the UK to support a growing number of projects across the UK and Europe.

Today, Rockett remains boutique by design and director-led, specialising in hotels, restaurants, resorts and private members’ clubs. Every project is approached individually, with the same focus on character, experience and sense of place that has shaped the studio from the beginning.

“Geila and her team have been nothing but professional from day one and have nailed the Brand’s vision of the outlets in Singapore.

So much that Rockett is now B&L appointed designer for all of our projects in Asia and Middle East.”
Riccardo La Monica, Asia Manager
Burger & Lobster, Singapore
“Professional doesn’t begin to describe working with the team from Rockett. I’ve opened restaurants globally and would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for the full package when it comes to design.

Their hands-on and flexible approach to the project was accommodating from beginning to end.”
Wes Guild, Group Manager
Red Door Group, Singapore
“Rockett has been a fantastic partner to PizzaExpress as we have expanded in Singapore. They understand our brand guidelines and have consistently created beautiful, functional restaurants — supporting us from the moment we sign a new site all the way through to the opening day.

It has been a pleasure to work with Rockett and we look forward to continuing the partnership in future.”
Nick Freeman, Asia Manager
PizzaExpress
“Rockett really works with their clients to understand the operational aspect of the space and designs it into something that’s functional and effective, and subtle and timeless.”
Daniel Sia, Director of Culinary Strategy and Development
F&B Asia, Singapore
“Rockett’s work is always timeless, elegant, and of high quality. They’re my favourite designers, not just for their creativity, but because they’re so easy and flexible to work with.

They really listen and adapt, so it always feels like a collaboration rather than being told what to do.”
Andrew Goh, Design & Project Management Architect
