Retail Architecture & Interiors at Osterlund Architects
Retail architecture brings our communities together. Restaurants are complex, creative projects that involve creating the owner’s aesthetic vision while developing a smooth flow from back of house to front of house. Working in collaboration with the owner and equipment vendor, we strive to lay out a functional kitchen that can serve food to patrons but also create a space where people can come together with their community. Furniture, Fixtures and equipment (FFE) bring the interior design to life. Retail architecture also serves communities by providing a space for the sale of goods. Creativity abounds for retail and restaurant interior design in selecting finish materials that will be a backdrop for store products, light fixtures that showcase those products, and colors that work well with the branding of the retail establishment.
The interior finishes bring color and light and sustainable, healthy surfaces to what was dark. The interior finishes change empty spaces that were created for machines into vibrant places that are created for communities. From concept through procurement, the Interior Design team at Osterlund Architects is changing spaces and creating new places.

These gridlines create a backdrop to showcase the merchandise the store will carry.
