Commercial and Retail

Project Details

Apollo was engaged to design and build four retail tenancies, a warehouse, large showroom, café, bar and restaurant and a customer car park.

Working closely with the client’s architect we successfully achieved the client’s vision of style, function and quality—resulting in refreshing architectural design that is a delicate mix of traditional and contemporary.

Apollo was responsible for full project delivery, with the client taking ownership of the design and fit out of the café, bar and restaurant. The project involved a number of design innovations, starting with the foundations and a hybrid rib raft floor that would allow the building to easily be re-levelled as the ground was TC3.

Kingspan insulated roof and cladding was specifically selected to enhance thermal performance. Changing the exposed internal Kingspan roof colour and fittings to black produced a clean, uncluttered look that formed the perfect backdrop for feature lighting. The use of oiled Macrocarpa for the pergola posts around the walkways and café courtyards softened the look of the building and contrasted perfectly with the dark cladding.

The client was very passionate about the build and was on site every day, and for all intents and purposes became part of the site team. The team really enjoyed this level of input and thoroughly enjoyed having such a close working relationship with the client.
