Leonard Design Architects were appointed by McArthur Glen to design a new flagship anchor store for Polo, Ralph Lauren within their Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet Centre. The standalone unit contains 14,000 sqft of retail at ground floor level and 4,000 sqft of storage at first floor level, making it the largest unit on site. The design approach contrasts as well as compliments the existing site architecture whilst making a strong brand statement for the tenant. Following the completion of the Polo Ralph Lauren Store, Leonard Design were appointed to design Phase 5 of Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet. Phase 5 covers a series of improvements that will form an investment strategy for Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet through the alteration, refurbishment and the erection of new buildings to provide an improved customer experience. It builds upon Phase 1, which saw the design and delivery of a new flagship store for Polo Ralph Lauren. We have delivered new retail and F&B units, enhancing the customer experiences with new and upgraded washrooms, tourist facilities, landscape and public realm, a new pedestrian bridge over a stream, and a new cutting-edge play area. A new decked car park for 450 spaces with a living green wall has also been delivered. The landscape strategy brought together a coherent overall design and implementation approach and has helped to tie various previous and new phases of piecemeal development together. The works are near to completion on site with most tenants in and fitting out or trading.
