01 — Studio Note

A hospitality practice grounded in
craft, climate and hospitality.

ASID — Anderson Saidon ID Studio — is an international hospitality interior design practice with studios in Kuala Lumpur, Jeddah, Cairo and Manila. We work alongside hoteliers, operators and developers to design four- and five-star hotels, resorts, restaurants and the guest rooms that anchor them.

Our approach pairs creative ambition with the practical discipline hospitality projects demand: programme, budget and operations held in mind from the first sketch. We work as comfortably on a new-build resort as we do on a refurbishment delivered around a live check-in desk.

The Kuala Lumpur studio sits at Pavilion Embassy on Jalan Ampang. The regional studios work in close rotation across the Gulf, North Africa and Southeast Asia.

03 — Practice

Six disciplines,
one studio.

01

Hotel Interior Architecture

End-to-end design for four- and five-star hotels and resorts — lobbies, public realm, suites and back-of-house.

02

Interior Development

From concept to handover. Documentation, FF&E, specification and consultant coordination tied to operator standards.

03

F&B Restyling

Restaurants, bars and brasseries. We restyle around an operator's menu, rhythm and guest profile.

04

Guest Room Design

The room the guest remembers. Proportion, lighting, storage, and the small details that make a hotel feel considered.

05

Eco-Refurb

Environmentally considered refurbishment — reusing existing fabric, specifying responsibly, minimising downtime.

06

Design Consultation

Advisory engagements for operators and owners — feasibility, repositioning studies, brand-standard alignment.
