Transformation of a redundant shopping centre into a new John Lewis Department Store.

We developed a design that fulfilled the brand requirements of John Lewis, whilst working within the historic setting of Cheltenham.  At the beginning of the design process, we set out a number of strategic approaches to the main façade that helped secure agreement from all stakeholders.

The new façade, fronting onto the high street, features large frit patterned glazing panels, enhanced with bronze coloured feature metalwork which make reference to the delicate Georgian ironwork embellishments prominent in the town.
