Brief
Having had an established relationship with Advance since 2006, Avanti approached Advance to help design and manufacture all the lighting in the new premises that Avanti had acquired.
Avanti asked Advance to help modernise a traditional looking building by assisting with a lighting plan and design. The overall objective was to create a subtle but prestigious environment.
The refurbishment of the shop included:
- Lighting for the shop ceiling including careful placement of downlights and pelmet lighting
- Emergency lighting
- Clip frame light boxes
- Specific positioning of lights to highlight window displays
Development
Being a vital part of the redesign of Avanti’s premises, Advance started by completing an initial site visit to assess the building and understand potential lighting requirements following refurbishment.
Offering a consultancy service to Avanti, we worked together to establish what sort of environment Avanti wanted to create with Advance identifying what lighting would be required.
Having recognising what products would work best, Advance used Relux to plan, design and calculate the lighting through the entire premises focusing on:
- Colour temperature
- Lighting intensity
- Energy efficiency
Delivery
All the lighting work which included design, development, engineering and testing was completed by Advance’s in-house design team and was manufactured in conjunction with our global partners; whilst working closely with Avanti.
Advance’s project team managed the project from design to concept and ensured it was completed ahead of schedule for Avanti’s new store opening.
Summary
The new look of the store was very well received by Avanti. The shop opened on schedule and the feedback from customers was very positive.
Advance continues to work closely with Avanti.
