Not every part of a restaurant fit-out is about the dining room.

For St Pierre Newmarket, this seating nook was designed to feel warm, intimate, and connected to the brand's natural material palette. The timber walling, suspended rope feature, and concealed lighting work together to create a space that feels relaxed while adding another layer of character to the overall customer experience 🍣🪵

Thoughtful details like these are what turn a fit-out into a destination.

At Spark Commercial Bay, the focus was on creating a space where customers can get hands-on with technology rather than simply viewing it from behind a counter.

Interactive display zones, open product tables, and clear sightlines encourage exploration, while the fit-out supports the service and advice that sit at the heart of the customer experience 📱⚡

Retail works best when people can engage with the product, and this space was designed to do exactly that.

A bit of retail design inspiration 💡

This concept explores how curved forms, natural materials, concealed lighting, and open floor planning can work together to create a space that feels welcoming without relying on excessive signage or visual clutter.

We're seeing more retail environments move towards hospitality-inspired layouts, where the experience of being in the space becomes just as important as the products being sold.

Not one of our projects — just an interesting example of where contemporary retail design is heading.

For Specsavers Thames, clarity is everything.

The store was designed to make browsing straightforward, with illuminated wall displays, clear product zoning, and an open layout that allows customers to move easily through the space. Every frame needs to be seen properly, so the lighting, sightlines, and display systems all play a part in the overall experience 👓✨

A clean, highly functional retail environment that puts the product front and centre.

Alaïa's new flagship on Rue Faubourg Saint-Honoré is a reminder that some of the world's best retail spaces are designed more like architecture than stores.

Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architects SANAA, the project takes inspiration from the brand's signature silhouettes, with curved glass, soft forms, and a restrained material palette creating a space that feels calm, sculptural, and distinctly Alaïa.

An interesting example of how leading luxury brands are using architecture to strengthen identity, not just display product 🏛️✨

Barkers Newmarket sits in one of the country's premier retail destinations, so the fit-out needed to match the environment around it.

The steel structure creates a strong focal point through the centre of the store, while the elevated motorcycle display brings a bit of Barkers' personality into the space. Around it, the layout stays organised and easy to navigate, balancing product density with plenty of breathing room.

A great example of retail design doing more than just displaying merchandise — it helps tell the brand story 🏍️👔

Some of the most interesting retail environments being built today aren't starting with a blank sheet of paper.

Around the world, brands are taking over historic buildings, warehouses, and former industrial spaces, then layering contemporary retail into them. The result is often something a new build can't replicate — a space with genuine character, history, and identity.

Read about how when paired with retail, adaptive reuse buildings can elevate brands by physically connecting them to the past and giving them a sense of timelessness.

At Bailey Nelson Willis Street, even the accessory displays were treated as part of the fit-out rather than an afterthought.

A simple pegboard system like this has a lot of work to do — organise a wide range of products, stay easy to restock, and still look consistent with the rest of the store. The detailing is restrained, but the black finish, integrated shelving, and clean product zoning give it plenty of presence without overwhelming the space. 👓🛠️

For Craggy Range’s tasting room, the joinery needed to feel refined without becoming decorative.

Dark timber shelving, integrated lighting, and deep shadow lines give the wine room a quieter, more grounded feel that suits the brand properly. Nothing oversized or attention-seeking — just materials and detailing doing the work 🍷🪵

This one’s actually interesting because it gets into how brands are using retail fit-outs now to keep people in-store longer — cafés, lounges, art, service spaces, even hospitality-style layouts becoming part of the build.
