Meet bigtime design.
Designers are drawn to stylish visuals that command attention and leave a lasting impression. Our primary goal is always thoughtful solutions that effectively communicate the essential spirit of space. We strive for design that not only breaths style, but is also functional and consistent with the brand experience. The thread that binds all good design whether a custom piece of mill work, a watch or an exclusive hospitality environment is a unique expression of each client’s message delivered in a practical, scalable format.
It is the big things that create the impression and the little things that create the memories.
With a primary design specialization in hospitality public spaces and residential, our clients span a range of sectors including hotels, restaurants, commercial, nightclubs and more.
Emphasizing innovation and thought leadership in every project the firm touches, Bigtime Design Studios has become one of the top cross-disciplinary design firms in Florida, with both national and international recognition. A seamless combination of Interior Design, experiential design, branding, creativity, fashion and music; Bigtime Design Studios is most known for high concept, high style public space environments. And with dozens of awards across various market sectors, their work in the hospitality space includes Brightline Trains, Carnival Cruise Lines, Bagatelle Dubai, L’Auberge Del Mar, Postcard Inn Beach Resort, Township, Brightline Orlando, The Betsy, Runway 84, The Gabriel, Pani, Rooftop @ 1WLO, Boatyard, Rivertail, Charlie & Joe’s at Love Street, and Union Restaurant in the Press Hotel of the Marriott Autograph Collection, amongst others.
In addition, the studio is recognized as an authority in bar and nightclub design with projects such as the dirty disco night club design re-imagining and build-out of the historic Cameo Theater (for which BTDs received a night club interior design award nomination and won the “Best Nightclub Design Renovation Award”.) and a full scale re-branding of UK nightclub and dance music institution Gatecrasher. Big Time has also completed numerous nightclub, bar and restaurant projects including, Ristorante Angelina, Exit, Frank’s, Glow, Hi Tops, Kaboom, Neo, Oo-La-La!, Tequila Roadhouse, Vinyl, America’s Backyard and Watusi.
We encourage design to react with you, not to you.
The common thread in all Big Time work is the sociology of good design. “People might ask what kind of social or political dislocations our designs represent. If you look around any significant design you will find that successful space is interpreted as a socio-political monologue, where each user reacts with whatever emotions they already possess”. Big Time Design is a collaborative studio — a team of creative artists, consultants, designers, and nightlife/hospitality experts and tastemakers. The studio utilizes a unique design ethos where oversized objects create the experience, while the human-size details evoke a personal connection and create a lasting memory. “We encourage design to react with you, not to you.”

Bubble Charlotte
It has been a pleasure working with Bigtime, an intelligent and meticulous design studio. They are deadline oriented, innovative, open minded and have great skill to analyze and combine my ideas and their ideas into a masterpiece. They are the most talented and creative designers I have worked with in my entire career.
Three-Time Stanley Cup Winner
Bigtime Design is a visionary and out of the box design studio. Their ability to narrate a story and create a design that makes it come to life I have found to be invaluable in creating my new home. Attention to detail and ability to communicate out of the box design is something I have never experience before in any of my projects either in the US or abroad.
Chef's Compliments
"I want to express how grateful I am to be working in this beautiful restaurant. For the past year and a half I have basically lived here and each day am so impressed with the design and layout of the space. Thank you for giving me this incredible restaurant and just know that with each dish we are trying to enhance the design."
Intensely Creative
Bigtime Design is one of those spontaneous and intensely creative studios that has the ability to take a simple concept or idea and develop it into a masterpiece. There are not too many people out there like them.
Luxury Hotel Designers
