The architectural language aims to reflect the brand’s sustainable ethos, with the emphasis on the warm, natural material choices like clay plaster and Scottish ash wood. Extensive removal of previous internal linings/alterations revealed softly curved walls and multi-layered textures – reaching back to its original use – the grocery store.

Subtly textured clay plaster was laid onto stripped back and newly recovered surfaces. Bespoke, blackened steel railing organically follows the curvature of the walls, setting datum that guides the journey through the store. The shelving and countertop showcase the beauty of the natural, oil-treated material, designed with tactile experiences in mind. All fixtures and furniture were custom designed and made by local craftsmen, resulting in harmonious, carefully curated space.

The holistic design and installation approach taken resulted in a rich, yet highly efficient process, creating a shorthand between designer and tradesman, placing the client at the centre of the explorative discussions.
