| In recent years the expectations of shoppers have changed. Today’s consumers now demand a dynamic and entertaining ‘shopping experience’ in bright, modern, well laid-out retail environments. With no shortage of choice around, retaining customer loyalty and generating footfall has become the primary challenge for retailers. The internal environment design of the retail space has an enormous influence on the mood and behaviour of shoppers. The decision to buy or not to buy is affected by the quality, shape and ambience of the environment. Elementa carefully considers the internal and external design of the building and works very closely with the client and design team in order to achieve an aesthetic, comfortable, healthy and engaging environment. Retailers have a number of challenges at present. |

| The Carbon Reduction Commitment and local planning regulations with regards to energy are driving retailers to reduce their energy usage and carbon output. Elementa have broad experience of the various challenges retailers are facing and can assist with compliance with existing regulations and will also assist with the development of energy strategies to future proof the developments. Elementa ensure that integrated passive design features are built into the design of new buildings and refurbishments from the earliest stages of the design process to maximise the possibilities for reducing environmental impact and running costs of the building over its lifetime. |
