The management of available space within a retail environment can mean the difference between being profitable and under performing. Space planning is a very important element to consider when opening a new practice or remodeling an existing location. This needs to happen very early in the process, even before interior design. Successful space planning will give your location the proper traffic flow to get a customer from “point a” to the “point of sale”.
Space Planning
YOUR PROJECT BEGINS WITH FUNCTIONALITY & FLOW
“Design is a plan for arranging elements in such a way as best to accomplish a particular purpose.”
~ Charles Eames
What exactly is space planning and what makes it successful? Put simply, space planning is the layout of store fixtures, positioning of walls, product placement and the relationship between them to increase productivity in an environment. It is important to plan your location in a way that utilizes space effectively, but also makes sense to your customers. You need to balance the amount of open space, sight lines and engagement zones to effectively create the proper consumer experience.
