🔨 Project Story
This project centred on the reconfiguration of a large commercial retail unit that was facing new challenges due to the approval of a nearby supermarket development. Anticipating reduced footfall and turnover, our client engaged us to rethink the site and deliver a future-proof solution.
We proposed subdividing the existing single-use grocery store into three flexible commercial units, designed to improve rental viability, increase adaptability, and enhance overall efficiency. Each unit benefits from better frontage, improved access, and greater visibility, ensuring the property remains competitive within Hucknall’s evolving retail landscape.
In addition, we addressed long-standing accessibility concerns by relocating courier delivery points that previously blocked key entrances, particularly for disabled users. The redesign not only created safer circulation but also improved compliance with inclusive design standards.
✨ Key Design Features
Three new commercial units for increased rental flexibility
Improved accessibility and parking for all users
Redesigned outdoor spaces to enhance residential connections
