After more than a decade of living and working in New York and London, I’ve established the Tel Aviv based Naomi Kaplan Studio in 2018. The studio specializes in hospitality design, focusing on hotels, member clubs and restaurants primarily in the European market. Projects currently in the making include a 300 room resort in Greece and a 140 room hotel in Tel Aviv.
In addition to being an independent studio, projects are carried out alongside exceptional industry colleagues such as Mehrai Design on a 90 room hotel in West London, and the renowned design firm AvroKO on a 230 room hotel in Warsaw (opening 2023) and a members club in Athens (opening 2024).
Between the years 2012-2018 I worked for AvroKO, immersing myself in the hospitality industry and completing with them numerous award winning projects including-
