Project story

When designing a retail or leisure space, there are several key factors to consider: 

Customer Experience: The design should aim to create a positive and memorable experience for customers, taking into account factors such as lighting, layout, and product display. 

Brand Identity: The space should reflect the brand’s identity, values, and aesthetics. 

Functionality: The design should be functional and efficient, with effective use of space and storage to maximize sales and minimize operational costs. 

Accessibility: The space should be accessible for people with disabilities and easy to navigate for all customers. 

Technology: The use of technology, such as digital signage, interactive displays, and point-of-sale systems, should be considered to enhance the customer experience and streamline operations. 

Safety and Security: The design should consider the safety and security of customers and staff, including the use of security cameras, emergency lighting, and fire prevention systems. 

Sustainability: Consideration should be given to the use of environmentally friendly materials and energy-efficient systems to reduce the environmental impact of the space. 

Budget: A realistic budget should be established and considered throughout the design process to ensure that the project remains on track and within budget constraints. 

It’s important to work with a professional interior designer or architect to ensure all of these factors are taken into account and to create a well-designed, functional, and attractive retail or leisure space.

Typically, the party responsible for paying for a retail fit out is the business owner or tenant who will occupy the space. However, in some cases, the landlord or building owner may provide a tenant improvement allowance or cover the costs of the fit out as part of a lease agreement. It’s important to clarify the terms of who is responsible for the costs before signing a lease agreement or starting the fit out process.
