Designing a retail or commercial space is quite unlike crafting a residential space. With effective space planning and design, a business can take flight in an efficient and productive work environment. So when designing a retail or commercial space, there are details that must not be overlooked. And such attention to details can probably only be recognised by the trained eye, necessarily gathered from years of experience.

Incepted to specialise in retail and commercial spaces, Icon is an arm under Sky Creation that undertakes such local and overseas projects. To date, Icon has since shaped the retail and commercial space of offices, restaurants and even specialty businesses in Singapore, Malaysia and China.

Sky Creation is socially responsible and environmentally conscious. Other than achieving ISO 14001:2004 for Environmental Management System, Sky Creation was also awarded the BCA Green Mark for green office design. Its efforts toward sustainability and environment- friendly built environment have also been recognised by Singapore Green Building Council.

Icon is capable of contributing to the design of retail and commercial spaces in more than one way. From architecture and design, fit-out and refurbishment, space planning and project management, the team of professionals at Icon can help breathe a new lease of life into any old retail space, or make something out of nothing in a commercial space. Whether one is selling a product or service, Icon’s design would take into account the type of product or service rendered, to assist in selling the brand image of the business and complement the work carried out in the space.

Icon has helped shaped the retail front and commercial space of many businesses. Owing to the high standards at which each project is executed to demonstrate, Icon has received many testimonies of a job well done. Many of its projects have since been featured in the media of Singapore, Malaysia & China etc, making Icon a brand to truly be reckoned with.

A pleasing and functional retail or commercial space is made possible at Icon. When Icon embarks on the design of such a space, its team will first learn about the business, the demographics of its customers, as well as the functional requirements of the space. With this understanding, the team will know if a waiting area, large display windows, or restrooms are required, amongst other layout considerations, to ascertain the functional and structural feasibility of any design.

Based on the set of requirements spelt out by the customers, the team at Icon will draft a proposed layout plan, floor plan, lighting plan and even sprinkler plan, to ensure that even the technical design of the space meets the guidelines of the building it is housed in.

When managing the project, the team at Icon will also see to the preparation and submission of all technical documentations to the relevant authorities. Following which, a detailed drawing plan will be drawn up for the customer to review the conceived design, right up to the smallest detail.

With all retail or commercial spaces, the budget for its design is naturally a key aspect for consideration. At Icon, the team will also strive to meet the budget set out by the customers, whilst not compromising on quality and overall management.
