Annual Year Round Up FY24/25 Rigby & Rigby
Twenty years of Rigby & Rigby. Fifty years of the Rigby Group. This is a moment to reflect, and to look forward with the same ambition that has defined every chapter of our story.
FY25/26 has been a year of landmark achievements, global reach, and quiet firsts that speak loudly in the world of design and delivery.
We opened the year as a studio recognised in both Great British Brands and the Andrew Martin Interior Design Review, two of the industry’s most respected endorsements of creative excellence. Our CEO, Iain Johnson, was named among the Spears 500 top interior design advisors, a reflection of the trust our clients place in Rigby & Rigby’s leadership and vision.
Project 089 made history in December 2025, becoming the first residential project in the world to achieve Platinum Wellness certification. A defining milestone for the super-prime sector, and a testament to our belief that exceptional design must serve the health and wellbeing of those who inhabit it.
On the water, Awandra took home Best Displacement Motor Yacht at the World Superyacht Awards, and Haze II, our most ambitious yacht project to date, claimed the same honour in its category. Two wins, one team.
Project Knight is now in the skies. Our private aviation debut, encompassing interior design, branding, and exterior livery for the G700, has moved from concept to reality and represents a new frontier for the practice.
Our architectural reach continues to expand. Project KY 247 was named a finalist at both the World Architecture Festival and the Architectural Review Future Projects Awards. In London, we are nearing completion on Nammos Knightsbridge and Nammos Mayfair, two landmark hospitality projects delivered across architecture and construction. Further afield, our portfolio now spans Bangkok, Tokyo, Lapland, and New York, with each project shaped by the same precision and cultural sensitivity that defines our approach.
This year also marks our collaboration with Samuel Heath on the WOW!house at Chelsea Harbour, open to visitors in June and a celebration of what is possible when craft, innovation, and design intent align.
Internally, FY25/26 saw the launch of two team-led initiatives that point firmly towards the future: the AI Lab, dedicated to researching and integrating emerging technologies into our process, and the Make Lab, focused on model-making and the enduring value of the physical in an increasingly digital world.
Twenty years in, we remain as driven by curiosity, craft, and collaboration as we were at the beginning. We are grateful to every client, partner, and colleague who has been part of this journey, and we look forward to what the next chapter holds.
