Retailing furniture, soft furnishings, lighting, luxury paint and innovative designer wallpapers requires careful merchandising and extensive, appeal display areas especially when attracting both consumer and trade customers. It also takes up a lot of space, which is why luxury home décor company Andrew Martin encountered problems when it wanted to increase its product offer.
Seeking a way of substantially extending their display space within the existing warehouse building, they contacted Spaceway for some suggestions. During discussions it became clear that it was not just a matter of providing extra space, there had to be a way to provide access for large products as well as public access with a wide staircase.
The building was huge and led itself to easily being transformed with a mezzanine area. As Spaceway points out, “It was effectively a big mezzanine floor with two staircases. We enclosed one as a fire exit route and an access into their existing first floor office, and then the main route was at the front of the building where all the general public could go in.”
From the beginning of discussions, Andrew Martin were very impressed with the suggestions and approach being taken by Spaceway, with Andrew Martin just needing to carry out due diligence and final costings in order to move forward.
A decision was quickly reached, indicating that Spaceway would provide the most cost effective, professional and suitable building option, reaching a price that was acceptable to all parties.
We were delighted with the service from Spaceway.

The resultant build proved extremely successful. If you look at the size of the floor, they’ve got an additional 700 sq metres of showroom space. They’ve literally been able to double the amount of products they put out on the floor for people to come and view and buy. They doubled their warehouse floor area. We filled the whole building with their mezzanine. They’ve effectively doubled their footprint, which meant they could double their shop space.
