Blackheath Products
Office Design, Commercial Interior & Fitout
Blackheath is a market leader supplier of Kitchen, Bathroom, Worktop and Laminate products for the trade. After successfully delivering their exhibition stand for the Surface Design Show 2014, 01EX was given the opportunity to create an inspiring retail store design for the company to sell their products in.
As part of the brief, our team had to prepare a design to upgrade their existing retail space to look fresher, cleaner and easier to shop, provide inspiration to trade visitors with the breadth of products available from Blackheath and encourage impulse purchases at every opportunity. The store design should be a balance of products available and service in mind.
Our project manager and designers had several meetings with the team at Blackheath to discuss in detail the delivery of the commercial interior projects. The available retail store area was divided into sections, each with specific requirements regarding style of units, illuminated glass counters, integration of Audio-Visual equipment, partitioning and fabrication of bespoke units to enhance features of their products.
Providing Confidence
Three-dimensional (3D) computer simulations of the area were created in order to better evaluate, among others, the accessibility of the areas, visual impact of graphics and positioning of dressing and display units for optimal space utilisation. This approach allowed the team to efficiently go through several design revisions and provided confidence on the final look and feel of the retail space before any expensive manufacturing tasks were undertaken.
01EX team of commercial interior specialists manufactured all units at our fully equipped workshop and carried out the final installation outside Blackheath’s normal business hours to minimise disruption to visitors and trade.
