Opening a retail unit on time is often as important as the design itself. In retail, every week’s delay in opening is revenue that does not come in. Retail architecture is about bringing together brand image, shopping experience and deadlines<\/strong>. This is how we approach it.<\/p>\n

A retail project starts with the brand<\/h2>\n

A shop is not a neutral space: it translates the brand’s identity into circulation, lighting, materials and shopfront. The design organises the shopping experience<\/strong> \u2014 how the customer enters, moves around and pays \u2014 and the operation (storeroom, fitting rooms, till, accessibility). Good design sells more per square metre.<\/p>\n

Permits and regulations: this is where the clock is ticking<\/h2>\n

The opening and activity licence<\/strong> and compliance with accessibility, evacuation and fire-protection requirements set the real timetable. In units inside shopping centres, the centre’s own rules are added on top. Anticipating these requirements from the design stage is what makes it possible to open on the planned date.<\/p>\n

From design to construction without surprises<\/h2>\n

With the detailed design closed, the fit-out of a shop is usually quick if it is well defined: services, finishes, furniture and lighting. Delays almost always come from decisions not taken in time or from poorly planned permits. That is why we work with fixed deadlines and fees<\/strong> and direct supervision by the partners.<\/p>\n

Our experience in retail<\/h2>\n

We have designed and supervised shops and brand spaces on the Costa del Sol, coordinating architecture, interior design and services to reach the opening with the intended image and on schedule.<\/p>\n

Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n

How long does it take to open a shop?<\/h3>\n

It depends above all on the permit and on how well defined the design is. With a closed design and a well-planned permit, the fit-out of a shop is usually quick; delays come from late decisions or poorly anticipated paperwork.<\/p>\n

Do I need a permit to refurbish a shop?<\/h3>\n

Yes, except for minor changes. Opening an activity and carrying out works require a permit and compliance with accessibility and fire-protection rules. It is best to resolve this from the outset.<\/p>\n

Does the project include the interior design of the shop?<\/h3>\n

It can. In retail it is best for architecture and interior design to go hand in hand, to coordinate brand image, services and deadlines.<\/p>\n

Are you going to open or refurbish a shop?<\/h2>\n
