Nissen Richards Studio is delighted to announce that it is part of the winning, multidisciplinary team for the international design competition to create the new Museum of Jesus’ Baptism at Bethany, Jordan. Working with Niall McLaughlin Architects and Kim Wilkie Landscape, Nissen Richards Studio is charged with the museum’s exhibition design, using variations in light, sound and material to create an absorbing immersive atmosphere that expresses the museum’s narrative arc of ‘wilderness, water and witness’.

We are delighted that Nissen Richards Studio has been appointed as the Interpretation, Exhibition and Wayfinding designers for the transformation of RIBA’s London home, 66 Portland Place. We will design the exhibition which will run throughout the building and will tell the story of architecture and its impact on people and society by showcasing contemporary artefacts and items from their collection. We will be working alongside architects Purcell on specific aspects of the project to create a House of Architecture at 66 Portland Place, open for all. We are part of an exciting team of designers including Alex Cochrane Architects who will reimagine the Architecture Shop, while Gundry + Ducker will create a destination café.

We’re delighted to have been invited by India’s leading art company DAG to design their Art Mumbai exhibition stand for the third year in a row. DAG is the world’s largest institution of 18^th to 20^th century Indian art, and we are always thrilled by our encounter with the art on show and the challenge of evolving the design of the showcase to display these amazing artworks.
