Store and design layout

In retail, every detail matters and every square meter counts. A successful store design and layout project is not only about aesthetics: it must also support customer flow, product presentation, staff efficiency and overall brand experience.

At Groupe Pagès, we help retailers and brands develop store design and layout solutions tailored to their concept, constraints and business goals. Through a structured consulting and design approach, we turn ideas into coherent, functional and attractive commercial spaces.

Advice and analysis

The first step in any store design and layout project is to gain a clear understanding of your needs, your brand positioning and your operational objectives. Through consultation sessions, detailed discussions and project analysis, we build the foundations for a retail space that reflects your identity and supports your commercial strategy.

A detailed on-site audit helps us assess the available space, analyze the existing structure and identify technical constraints. This feasibility diagnosis ensures that your store design and layout ambitions are aligned with the actual characteristics of the site and with the conditions required for successful implementation.

This phase brings together all stakeholders to define the direction of the project, align priorities and shape a shared vision. It is where creativity meets strategy, helping transform your store concept into a clear and actionable design framework.

A retail project also requires a thorough technical review. Electrical systems, lighting, HVAC, security, accessibility and other operational requirements must all be taken into account. This analysis ensures that the final store design and layout solution is not only visually appealing, but also functional, compliant and ready for daily use.

At this stage, we create detailed design specifications that outline requirements, guidelines, priorities and expected outcomes. This document serves as a reference throughout the project, helping maintain consistency, quality and alignment from concept to execution.

Advice and analysis

Handled by our Design Office, the space planning phase organizes the store layout to make the best possible use of the available surface. Our designers structure the space according to your retail needs, balancing circulation, product presentation, customer comfort and visual coherence. Through sketches, technical drawings and detailed plans, we ensure that all areas work efficiently together.

We support you in selecting the most suitable furniture and layout solutions for your concept, your products and your budget. This stage helps define the right balance between functionality, design consistency and commercial performance, while ensuring that each element contributes to the overall store design and layout strategy.

Our designers provide 2D and 3D visuals to help you project yourself into the future retail space. These visuals make it easier to understand the store layout, technical arrangements, furniture positioning, lighting and decorative atmosphere before implementation begins.

When the project involves a relocation, refurbishment or site transfer, we can help plan the practical aspects of the transition. This includes logistics, packaging, transport and installation coordination, ensuring a smooth and efficient move into the new space.

A new retail environment often involves new habits, new circulation logic and new ways of working. We can support teams through this transition with practical guidance, helping staff adapt quickly to the new store design and layout and make the most of the updated space.

The mood board helps define the visual and emotional direction of the project. Through images, textures, materials, colors and inspirations, it captures the intended atmosphere of the future store and ensures that aesthetic choices remain aligned with your concept and your brand identity throughout the design process.

At the end of the study phase, the budget envelope is defined to give you clear visibility on the investment required for your project. Giving you visibility on the cost associated with the renovation of your spaces will allow you to visualize and mandate your work partner more precisely. In addition, we offer ongoing support for maintenance and minor works.

Focus on our strategic planner, consulting and design center

“Working on store design and layout projects at Groupe Pagès means combining creativity, analysis and operational thinking. My role starts with understanding our clients: their concept, their brand identity, their ambitions and the way they want customers to experience their space.

Each project is different. We study uses, constraints, circulation patterns and opportunities in order to create spaces that are both functional and impactful. Through zoning, materials, color schemes, mood boards and 3D visuals, we help bring the project to life while ensuring that the final result remains aligned with the original vision.

Store design is where strategy, aesthetics and user experience meet. Our goal is to create spaces that make a real difference in everyday customer experience.”
