For an interior designer Hampshire offers a great range of sites and opportunities. We have now worked on 5 sites for Josies after helping them with their first site in the busy village of Bishops Waltham. The second was a similar but more contemporary wine and coffee shop in Winchester. This city was just 90 minutes from our office in Lewes, so we can easily arrange site visits and meetings.
Zero Waste Shop for WInchester University
We were very pleased to be asked by Winchester University to design a zero waste shop using our circular design principles. The site was a shell and the interior is fully adaptable with a lot of good quality off cuts used which reduced costs and the environmental impact of the shop.
Converting a bank in Chandlers Ford for Josies
This project was an old bank in Chandlers Ford. We converted it into a brunch and coffee venue for a long standing client of ours called Josies. We took the space over in shell condition and built up the floors and installed the infrastructure. Planning we again a challenge and Hampshire remains one of the hardest places to get planning approved.
Other sites for Josies
Romsey was our fourth site for Josies. It was a conversion of a former bank to coffee shop. Luckily the drainage was adequate and there was just about enough flat roof space out the back for some extraction. Our third site for Josie’s was an old pub in Petersfield. The services with this site needed an overhaul and being sited within a conservation area added some challenges with planning. The second site we worked on was a new build shell in Winchester. The first site we worked on was in Bishops Waltham and was listed as one of the original off licences in the country.
Turner’s Pies in Petersfield
We weren’t around when Turner’s Pies opened their first shop in the mid 20th century, but we have designed all of them since. Their most recent site strayed into Hampshire and between you and me it is our favourite design.
Interior Designer Hampshire
Independent business owners and entrepreneurs from all over the South tell the same story. Opening your first venue in London is just too expensive these days, so setting up the first site in one of the surrounding cities, be it Winchester, Chichester or Brighton makes financial sense.
