Hurst was appointed by a global Japanese brand to create and deliver a bespoke storefront design for their new premises, located in the heart of a renowned West London shopping centre.
Our Joinery Setting Out department worked closely with the client to realise their vision: a stunning 32 metre wide and 8 metre high glazed façade spanning the entire storefront and incorporating a central glazed portal.
Works Provided
- New shopfront spanning 8m x 32m
- Central 16 metre wide glazed portal with two doors
- Two 8 metre wide, full height, frameless glazed side panels
- Illuminated side flank walls
- Strip illumination on inner and outer faces of the portal
- Sliding and stacking shutter consisting of 20 glazed panels, each 3m tall
- Solid surface columns to house stacked shutters
- Mirror finish transom and plasterboard bulkhead
The project presented several design and installation challenges that our team successfully navigated.
Our joinery team manufactured the shopfront portals, incorporating HIMACS solid surface panels that weighed 260kg and were fixed 8 metres high. To ensure minimal disruption, all work, including deliveries and crane lifts, were scheduled to take place out-of-hours.
Whilst the shopping centre was unoccupied.Hurst communicated clearly with both the centre management and the client throughout the process, ensuring minimal disruption to services.
The project was managed meticulously, ensuring every detail met our high standards of quality and finish throughout.
