Our Story

Our Approach

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

In 2022, Rockett established its UK studio, creating a strategic European base alongside Singapore and extending the practice’s reach across both Europe and APAC.

Each project is informed by rigorous research into the location, architecture, history and culture, from the wider landscape to the subtle nuances that give a place its particular character.

Alongside this sits a deep understanding of how hospitality spaces need to work. From the earliest stages, we consider how space is used, how people move through it, and how it operates behind the scenes, creating interiors that are as considered in function as in design.

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

“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

“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.”
