As a practice, we now have 45 creative awards to our name – from RIBA National Awards to Cumbria Tourism Awards – but we’re particularly thrilled when our work is shortlisted for an award we’ve never been up for before. Our permanent exhibition design work for The National Portrait Gallery, which re-opened in 2023 after a major, multi-year re-modelling project, has now been announced as a finalist in the 2024 MIX Awards in the Public Sector & Cultural Interiors category.

‘Untold Lives: A Palace at Work’ is a new exhibition at Kensington Palace, uncovering the forgotten stories of those who worked at the royal palaces over 300 years ago. Nissen Richards Studio created the exhibition and graphic design for the new show, which shines a light on the servants and courtiers – from pages to cooks, wetnurses and seamstresses – who managed life at Court and used their skills and expertise to look after the royal family and their homes.
