Architecture North Ltd was appointed to deliver the transformation of two neighbouring commercial units into a single, larger premises to accommodate the client’s growing business. The project brief was to create a more efficient, customer-friendly, and future-proofed space that could support increased demand while improving the overall day-to-day operation of the business.

A key focus of the design was the reconfiguration of the shop floor. By unifying and enlarging this space, we were able to establish a clearer customer journey, improving flow through the premises and enhancing the overall retail experience. This larger shop floor also provides greater flexibility, allowing the client to adapt displays and layouts as the business continues to evolve.

The workspace was significantly expanded and restructured to accommodate additional machinery. The new layout was carefully planned to optimise efficiency, supporting smoother workflows and improved safety standards. This functional approach ensures the business is better equipped to meet growing demand while reducing operational bottlenecks.

To support the expanded retail and work areas, storage was consolidated and extended, creating a unified and well-organised system that frees up valuable floor space. This rationalisation enabled the introduction of a new ground floor accessible toilet, enhancing the inclusivity and convenience of the facilities for both staff and customers.
