KITSON Architecture was appointed early in 2013 as project architects by Freshwater Group for the refurbishment of this dated shopping centre in Dartford, Kent. We have worked closely with the lighting consultants to create a contemporary town centre retail destination space. In addition to a new interior scheme we have completely refurbished the primary entrances to enhance the image of the centre on the high street. Recently completed, the centre is now a bright and contemporary space with stunningly creative new lighting features. The upper panels incorporate bespoke graphics which can be backlit to highlight the images or dimmed to allow areas for projecting on to. The central square has movement sensitive floor lighting which can be ‘played’ with by children or used to highlight display areas.
