Define the brief
Agree users, priorities, scope and decision-makers before drawing the first plan.
Retail
Stores and flagships built from brand story, customer journey and commercial performance.

A successful store expresses the brand while making products easy to understand. We map the threshold, first view, browsing sequence and consultation moment before developing fixtures and lighting. Flagship environments need memorable spatial gestures; smaller stores need equally careful attention to display density, storage and service.
Agree users, priorities, scope and decision-makers before drawing the first plan.
Compare circulation and spatial options against existing conditions and the operating brief.
Coordinate materials, lighting, joinery and specialist interfaces with the approved direction.
Align procurement, site responsibilities and inspections with the agreed programme.
Bring available plans, photographs, an approximate area and your intended use to the first conversation. We review the building’s conditions and the decisions that influence scope, investment and timing. The brief can evolve, but responsibilities and approval points should stay clear.
For an occupied property, access and continuity need particular attention. For a new fit-out, the starting shell and technical systems shape the work. A written scope separates design, construction, furniture and specialist packages so you can compare proposals on the same basis.
Yes. We distinguish the fixed brand elements from the parts that change with each site. A kit of materials, fixtures and signage can support consistency, while frontage, floor area and customer movement are resolved individually.
The scope can cover store concept; customer journey; fixture design; visual merchandising zones; lighting hierarchy; signage and stock planning. We select and define the relevant deliverables in the proposal, including consultant interfaces and any exclusions. This allows you to compare the service against your actual brief.
Important factors include custom fixtures, display lighting and signage. Area alone is not enough to establish a reliable figure. We separate design deliverables, construction and procurement allowances, and review changes before they become site instructions.
Confirm custom fixtures, display lighting and signage alongside the project brief. These decisions influence coordination and lead times. Review the existing space, agree who signs off the design and identify any specialist input before a final completion date is committed.
