The Coffeeing The World project by Select Interiors Ltd is a remarkable transformation of a neglected corner of an industrial warehouse in North London into a sophisticated showroom for Italian Coffee Machines, combined with a Boardroom and training facility. This 8-week project, encompassing both Cat A and Cat B fit-out works, required extensive planning and execution, resulting in a modern and experiential space.
Key Project Details:
Client Vision: Miller Vanguard, the parent group, sought to establish Coffeeing The World as the UK’s leading distributor of premium commercial coffee and espresso machines. Their vision extended beyond a traditional showroom, emphasizing a multifunctional space incorporating a Boardroom, training area, and comfortable seating for a seamless customer experience.
Scope of Work: Design and Technical Drawings: The project began with an empty, industrial shell made of concrete and steel. The Select Interiors team handled the complete design and technical aspects, including submission to Building Control. Fit-Out:
The fit-out covered all aspects, from mechanical and electrical systems to plumbing, ventilation, and fire safety strategy. Aesthetic Elements: The space was enhanced with suspended ceilings, fire-resistant partitions, bespoke joinery, and a custom marble counter with a bar and back bars. Finishing Touches: The use of luxury vinyl tile (LVT) flooring, acoustic cladding, and bespoke signage created a refined and welcoming environment.
The Result: The end product is a testament to collaborative effort and innovative design. What was once an unused, raw warehouse corner has been transformed into a fully functional and immersive showroom. Visitors can now explore and learn about the product range in a relaxed, ambient setting, with the Boardroom and training area catering to more formal business needs.
The success of this project highlights Select Interiors’ expertise in combining creativity with project management & workshop capabilities to deliver outstanding spaces that meet both aesthetic and functional goals of the Coffeeing The World team
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.
The cost of a retail fit out can vary greatly depending on several factors such as the size of the space, the materials used, the location, and the level of customization required. On average, a retail fit out can cost anywhere from £50 to £250 per square foot, although costs can easily run higher for high-end finishes or unique designs. It’s best to get quotes from multiple contractors to get a better understanding of the costs involved.
