"As part of the hotel’s buffet area, I designed a retail space to cater to the many day visitors the hotel attracts. This addition has become a highly successful and popular extension of the F&B offering, providing guests with delicious takeaway treats."
I had to create a space where day visitors would not interfere with hotel guests selecting their buffet meals, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience for both.
The retail area needed adaptable shelving that could be easily rearranged to showcase a variety of staple merchandise as required.
The display had to be both open and practical, allowing guests to browse comfortably while maintaining a visually appealing setup. A small yet efficient point-of-sale area was also essential.
Proper lighting was crucial to highlight the merchandise effectively, ensuring everything was well-lit and inviting for guests.
The retail space was positioned at the buffet’s periphery with subtle dividers and floor pattern variations to guide day visitors without disrupting hotel guests.
Modular shelving allowed easy reconfiguration for seasonal products and changing guest needs. A mix of fixed and movable elements ensured versatility.
An open design encouraged browsing, with a compact, well-placed point-of-sale area for efficient service. Clear sightlines allowed seamless staff supervision.
A mix of ambient, task, and accent lighting ensured products were well-lit and inviting. Adjustable LED spotlights highlighted key displays without glare.
