Simpsons Garden Centre had recently opened its home shop and wanted a space with real ‘wow’ factor to showcase new ranges.
We worked in close conjunction with the retail team at Simpsons to create a huge hybrid structure with barrel vaulted ceiling and black steel columns, beams, and timber arches to create a light, bright, contemporary new retail space in which the team could show off new furniture, accessory, and garden cooking ranges in style.
The wow
When Simpsons said they wanted ‘wow’ we took them at their word, designing them a vast garden centre structure that is the largest of its kind in the UK, measuring 52m long, with a span of 25m. This created an area that blew customers away, enabling them to see the garden centre’s new ranges in the most impressive surroundings. Since this beautiful vaulted area was created, Simpsons have seen a significant upturn in monthly footfall to their centre.
