This project consisted of the redevelopment of the existing
Nichols garden centre site by relocating the existing retail store
into an adjacent unused truck servicing depot.
Significant demolition of the truck servicing building was
completed leaving sufficient support to retain the existing roof
structure. New walls with high level windows to provide ample
light for the garden retail operation were installed along with a
new overlaid concrete floor complete with underfloor heating, which
provides the required conditions for a garden centre.
A popular cafe operation was incorporated in the design to
promote mutual opportunities and create a destination for
shoppers.
