01 — The challenge
The site sat at the edge of town on farmland with no infrastructure at all — no access, no networks, no formed ground. Building the store was not enough: an entire facility had to be created from nothing to serve high retail footfall and daily truck deliveries.
02 — Our solution
We used a steel superstructure so fabrication could run in the factory while earthworks and foundations proceeded on site. The sales floor was designed with long clear spans and no intermediate columns, and the roof carries a dense grid of rooflights that materially reduces artificial lighting during trading hours. In parallel we built the new road access, parking areas, networks and street lighting.
