2JG Architects – a new company specialising in retail, interior design and art direction.

Following our experience with Value Retail and other interior design companies such as Teresa Sapey, we have developed a new way of working, specialising in interior design and retail spaces.

NOT JUST DESIGNING:
Our experience, which includes surveying more than 330 boutiques during the last 6 years, has given us a comprehensive understanding of the retail market: from functionality and customer experience to project timings and sustainability.

- Functionality:
We honour all regulations and developments pertaining to the retail sector, which include local regulations, engineering, new technologies, and lighting, etc. (collaborating with Nechi - ingeniería)
All aspects are considered together as part of holistic approach, to create the best possible customer experience.

- Customer experience:
Bringing the best experience to the customer is our main objective. More than ‘seeing’, she needs to ‘feel’ a complete sensorial experience in our boutiques.

- Timings:
One of our main levels of expertise lies in time management. We optimise the project design in order to provide a workable schedule and timely delivery. We calculate and coordinate timings as experts with six years of succeeding in space design.

- Sustainability:
We have an on-going commitment to sustainability. We have developed LEED projects, meeting their rigorous standards in design and construction, water and energy efficiency, air quality, and of course, material and resource optimisation.

Retail Experience:

- More than 330 boutiques supervised by our team in the last 6 years.

- Around 180 different brands:
