Ab Rogers Design

Ab Rogers Design is a multidisciplinary design and architecture studio with 30 years of international experience. Throughout its work in the fields of experiential design, culture, retail, hospitality and residencies, ARD creates spaces defined by the needs of their users, believing that design can influence behaviour and elevate experience. The studio’s creative abilities result from a broad skill base that includes architects, interior, industrial, furniture and graphic designers and writers. We champion collective intelligence and draw on expertise outside our immediate field, collaborating with scientists, medical practitioners, cultural producers, artists and craftsmen of all kinds. ARD is privileged to have worked with clients including 180 The Strand, The Barbican Centre, Tate Modern, Centre Pompidou, Hyundai/Livart, Maggie’s, LinkedIn, McCarthy Stone, Scape, the Fat Duck, Comme des Garcons and Selfridges as well as the NHS New Hospital Programme and London hospitals including Charing Cross, St Thomas’, Queen Charlotte and St Mary’s. In 2021 the studio won the prestigious Wolfson Economics Prize, which that year called for design proposals for the hospital of the future. Following this, to further our work in research and development, ARD founded the DRU+ (dru-plus.org), a design research unit that explores the interrelationship between design, culture and neuroscience, using scientific rigour to deliver the art of care by reimagining spaces and objects and nudging behaviour.
