Barr + Wray has acquired Dubai-based spa interior design specialists EDP International.
The companies have previously collaborated on a number of spa projects, including the Eastern Mangroves Hotel & Spa by Anantara (pictured) and the Jumeirah Etihad Towers, both in Abu Dhabi.
According to Barr + Wray managing director Alister MacDonald, the move helps the UK-based company to meet the increased demand for spa interior design services he has seen from the Middle East.
The acquisition also allows the company to offer a more integrated and co-ordinated approach to spa engineering and interior design. MacDonald said all stages of a project could now be managed under one roof, from design through to delivery.
As part of the acquisition, three of EDP’s designers will transfer to Barr + Wray’s operations in Dubai and Glasgow, Scotland.
