Design approach & material palette

Concept

A travel-retail floor that reads instantly: strong shopfront, clear brand zones and an unhurried route to the till.

Space planning

132 sqm zoned for circulation, fixture density and an activation area, tested against passenger flow.

Materials

Alucobond cladding, lattice structure, backlit graphics and warm timber fixture bases.

Documentation

Floor layout, shopfront elevation and section elevations issued as construction sheets.

Lighting & graphics

Track and backlit lighting set to the fixture grid, with brand graphic panels coordinated to the joinery module so signage sits flush with the backwalls.

Execution

Fixture drawings, material call-outs and finish schedules handed to the contractor, with the build supervised against the issued sheets through to the coffee counter and cash desk handover.
