Hitchcox has equipped yoo with a strong global identity, making his firm an international lifestyle brand synonymous with exceptional developments around the globe, and bringing the designs of Starck, Hempel, Jagger, Wanders and Hoppen new homes and new markets. yoo was one of the first brands to realise the power of collaboration in its residential design projects – an approach now used widely to capitalise on a growing market of design-savvy purchasers.

Anouska Hempel Design’s spaces are a successful marriage of exuberance and restraint; elegance and simplicity; creativity and tradition – adding up to spaces of the future, places filled with life, fantasies and desires.”
