Providing Services to Retail Locations

By now, you have learned from our past blogs that here at Watkins Architect, we have the ability to provide our architectural services for a vast variety of project types: from residential and municipality to industrial and commercial; we have the necessary experience.

This month, we want to feature the retail industry. When selecting an architect for your retail store project, you want to make sure they will listen to your needs and vision, along with providing a layout for your location that offers a smooth and easy-to-follow shopping experience for your customers.

Here at Watkins Architect, we have plenty of experience in the retail industry, but we wanted to share with you three recent projects we have worked on. From Aldi in Reading, PA to a Knoll Showroom in Boston, MA and all the way to London for an Edelman Leather Showroom, take a moment to learn about these past projects!

Aldi
Located at the former Unclaimed Freight on Fifth Street Highway, Reading, PA Watkins Architect designed the new shell space addition within the former Unclaimed Freight building, along with various renovations, including the façade to blend with the adjacent Walgreens, lighting, canopy, the loading dock addition and new utilities. Our services included the full range from design through construction documents, bidding and construction administration.
