Marks & Spencer Foodhall, Poole

Orwell Design Associates was appointed to deliver a fully coordinated design package for the refurbishment of a former Homebase unit into a new Marks & Spencer Foodhall. The project required a complete redesign of refrigeration, mechanical and electrical services to suit the new retail environment, alongside ongoing technical support during construction.

Repurposing an existing retail unit presented a number of coordination challenges, particularly around integrating new building services within the constraints of the existing structure. Ensuring all systems worked together efficiently, while meeting operational, spatial and programme requirements, was key to the success of the project.
