Creating innovative customer experiences for our retail and leisure clients.

Image [ 1 / 3 ]

We regenerate high streets, shape town centres, plan new shopping parks and build roadside conveniences. We design contemporary restaurants and hotels and configure state-of-the-art sports centres, leisure facilities and cinemas.

We adopt a collaborative approach which sees us work with clients, stakeholders and communities to design innovative retail and leisure solutions that enhance the customer experience. Our regeneration work also often sees us support our clients to apply for Future High Streets, Town Funds and other funding streams.

Our recent work in the Retail & Leisure sector ranges from the mixed-use regeneration of Oldham Spindles Shopping Centre for Oldham Council to new build shopping parks in Liverpool to large-scale restaurant design rollouts for McDonald’s and Domino’s.
