From first sketch to the drawings on site
Concept and design development for cafés, restaurants, retail and homes. Layouts, joinery, materials and lighting that work for the brand, the staff and the budget.
Design
Construction, landlord and authority drawing packages that shopfitters can price and build from — coordinated with services, equipment and centre design criteria.
Documentation
SketchUp and V-Ray renders that get designs approved early, before money is spent on site.
Visualisation
Built for rollouts
Built for brands that open more than one site.
Much of our work is for food and retail brands opening their next store — often in a shopping centre, often on a tight programme. We know landlord submissions, centre design criteria and the detail that keeps one site consistent with the next, while still fitting the space it’s in.
Brief & site — lease plan, landlord criteria, equipment and budget gathered up front.
Concept — plan, elevations and renders for brand and landlord approval.
Documentation — a full drawing package ready for pricing and construction.
Coordination — answering shopfitter questions and revisions through to handover.
