Architecture
With many successful projects completed for and commercial insight into consumer behaviour, we are in a unique position to master plan large people spaces such as shopping centres, retail complexes and mixed use developments. Our design reflects an understanding of both tenant and consumer needs, which means we deliver innovative and functional designs that are geared to maximise return on investment or create 'value'. We create relevant, memorable and profitable consumer experiences whether it is a physical retail environment, a channel delivery strategy or a digital display. We believe that excelling at Retail Architecture is not an easy exercise, and that in order to create a highly successful shopping centre there are many layers of understanding that need to be in place. Before starting on concept design we conduct an in depth strategic analysis of the local market, and look at strategically positioning the shopping centre as a brand, which ensures that our clients will have an edge on local competitors.
Our team of experienced architects and designers are trained to only work on retail projects. Due to their thorough understanding of retail precinct planning they are trained to synthesize highly complex architectural spaces, with an end result of maximising traffic flow to the advantage of retailers, consumers and increasing rental values. Our interior design team have progressed from the design of store roll out programme's through to large-scale interior architecture projects, giving our interior designers an edge and eye for design that doesn't’t compromise the functionality, but compliments it.

Master Planning
Our involvement in retail projects ranging from individual specialty shops to flagship stores, through national and international retail chains extensions and refurbishments, has allowed us to develop a vast experience in all aspects of the retail industry, including category channel economics, retail design, layout planning, brand management, documentation and architectural management of retail projects. We also understand the return on investment 'chain of influence' by creating effective spaces and places that influence consumer behaviour we can attract more people, which in turn increases sales.

Graphic Design
Successful brands are powerful assets that can influence customer perceptions and build business performance. Customers not only see and touch a brand within a retail, commercial or hospitality environment, they also experience that brand. We aim to design visual solutions that become an enduring part of the project and the brand identity. Our ability to create visual solutions that are specifically developed into a complete design allows us to design successful solutions from branding and strategy, print and publications, packaging and point of sale, web site design, site optimisation and email campaigns, unique campaigns through to large commercial projects. With a skilled team of graphic designers, 3D visualisers and interior designers, we have the resources and know-how to deliver solutions beyond the obvious and seamlessly integrating all of your campaign elements.

3D Visualisation
We are able to display a themed environment in perfect detail, allowing a design to be refined and developed in a real visual space. We use modeling for master planning at an early stage to analyse architectural spaces and ensure our clients have a clear picture and common vision of the places and spaces that we are creating, this is particularly important with mixed use developments where other program elements can impact on the space. Our 3D visuals assist in space planning and store layouts by helping our clients visualise the design from your customers perspective, thus utilising the area in the most effective ways possible. Regardless of whether you are working on developing your current facility or building a brand new retail environment or a complete shopping centre, our designers will work with you to achieve precisely the look and feel you have envisioned.
