Visual merchandising integration

Visual merchandising integration ensures the store’s architectural design supports effective product presentation and customer engagement. This service aligns shelving, display fixtures, lighting, and circulation paths with the retailer’s merchandising strategy so products are highlighted clearly and customers move naturally through the space. It includes planning feature displays, sightlines, focal points, and flexible fixture layouts while ensuring all elements remain practical, accessible, and compliant. The result is a retail environment that showcases products with impact and enhances the overall shopping experience.

Fire safety and egress planning

Fire safety and egress planning ensures the retail space meets all life-safety requirements and provides clear, compliant pathways for occupants to evacuate in an emergency. This service includes analysing exit distances, travel paths, occupant loads, door hardware, signage, and accessibility needs, then integrating these features into the store layout without disrupting customer flow or visual design. It also coordinates with fire engineers, certifiers, and building services to confirm compliance with building codes and performance standards. The outcome is a layout that is safe, functional, and fully aligned with statutory fire regulations.
