We have been working with global brands for high-end retail design & build in Turkey. We put into practice the projects of the well-known designers of these brands during the construction phase. Our duty as a general contractor is to get a deeper understanding of the designer’s projects and consider the practical requirements. A material selected by the designer may seem very elegant. Still, if we talk about a clothing store with slippery materials on the floor, the consequences would be serious. Therefore, it is necessary to ask specific questions, identify the appropriate materials and invent them from time to time when putting into practice a project. This is where our skilful team with excellent knowledge about the materials step in. Further, we are able to produce the designer’s dreams come true at the workshop of our sister company, arcoglobal. During the performance of the implementation process, it is essential to be solution-oriented, do careful research on the materials to be used and try them under different environments and lighting conditions. As a general contractor, one of our duties is to talk to the other parties in the process and ensure the workflow utilizing accurate communication in luxury retail fit-out projects.
Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Brandroom, Ralph Lauren, Michael Kors, Fendi, Crate and Barrel are among the luxury retail fit-out projects we have put into practice. For all these high-end retail design & build projects, we have complied with the international standards of the brands and also interpreted the dream of the designer by considering consumers' retail habits. The stores of these brands are situated at different malls or locations, and each location has its own rules that could challenge the design-related requests. However, we proceeded by means of producing solutions and discovering alternatives and variations.
Especially in a mall, many stores look like others, and the main goal is to ensure that guests recognize and get in. And we always make attempts to deliver this differentiation through the materials we use and the decisions we make for each retail project.
Galeries Lafeyette, Wepublic, DKNY, Les Benjamins and Lanvin are among the projects we are proud of having put into practice. When it comes to high-end retail design & build, the distance between the exhibition areas, a guest’s distance of view to the products and the ceiling height are important parts of the guest experience. We, as YOO Architecture, know that what we put into practice with all the details is a store and a feeling we want to convey. Therefore, our implementation team, consisting of great professionals in their area of expertise, always works miracles.
