“I have been positively impressed by the work of The Design Solution specifically for their commercial approach, planning and design abilities as well as their overall practical approach to all projects. Their experience of working in many different worldwide markets has added value, especially in high passenger flow areas where penetration and conversion are key aspects of our business. The diversity of sites has called for creative and innovative solutions in terms of aesthetic design and to integrate key brands and promotional sites. These challenges have been professionally addressed with flair and originality. The Design Solution understand the need for a commercial approach in order to optimise our commercial objectives.”
“The Design Solution carried out all the retail planning and design of the International & Domestic Departures Lounges, including carrying out approvals for 280 tenants. Despite a very tight timescale there are some stunning retail designs mainly due to The Design Solution’s hard work to lift the quality from early submissions to the finished product who guided the retailers and food & beverage operators with little airport experience into producing world class designs that are a credit to our terminal.”
