Retail

Designing a successful shopping center involves not only drawing people in, but also providing the ideal layout in a comfortable, enjoyable environment which encourages visitors to stay and spend.

Our building consultancy helps clients control noise, reverberation and vibration to enhance user comfort and building performance. We understand the influences lighting has on shopping behavior and our lighting experts are advancing technology to develop ever-imaginative uses for design – for instance, illuminating ceilings for dramatic effect.

Our building consultancy has a dedicated team of environmental ergonomists who consider people’s needs and behavior in a building. And our fire engineers provide strategies to tackle the reaction of buildings and people to fire, enabling safe evacuation.

Our ability to interpret sustainability policy, which we’ve often helped shape, means we see the big picture and cut through issues to deliver the right planning solutions. And our informed approach means we can respond to mechanical and electrical solutions that match or even exceed the stakeholders’ sustainability aspirations.

Our commissions extend from feasibility studies and tender designs through to detailed design and construction supervision. Our experience in new developments and refurbishment, with the wealth of disciplines we cover, enables us to provide a comprehensive service.
