Industry: Department store / Shoe department / Shoe Shop / Retail | Location: Dumfries

Based in Dumfries, Barbours are the oldest independently owned department store in Scotland and date back to the first trading of the family in 1846.

The owners are at the forefront of the business and strive to push the family name on-wards, to embrace the changing needs of the retailing environment and to continue to give strong customer experience and value.

This retail project reflects that ethos - recognising the tired and dated department and investing in good concept design and space planning services before embracing the fit out and realisation.

Clean lines were kept to ensure the fabric of the building was still evident whilst narrow metal work and glass shelves lets the light bring out the product. Added material textures on back panels and cupboard fronts reflect the nature of the product with a splash of colour from the feature lighting to draw and excite.
