Creed at Bicester Village

Scope of Works

A full turnkey fit-out across two floors, comprising a high-spec ground floor retail environment and a fully reconfigured first-floor back-of-house (BOH).

Works included the installation of new mechanical and electrical services, bespoke walnut retail furniture, feature lighting and chandelier installation, and detailed architectural elements such as coffered ceilings, wall panelling, recessed displays, and brass finishes.

The retained storefront was enhanced with new illuminated signage and the introduction of glass sliding entrance doors to align with Bicester Village’s energy efficiency requirements.

The BOH was transformed to support operational efficiency, delivering a stockroom with racking, staff facilities including kitchen and breakout space, and a manager’s office, all supported by new partitions, finishes, and services.

Features:

Bespoke walnut display furniture and retail joinery
Statement feature chandelier and layered lighting design
Coffered ceilings with decorative cornicing
Wall panelling and recessed display niches
LED backlit shelving for enhanced product visibility
Tiled flooring with black feature border
Brass detailing and high-end material finishes throughout
Glass sliding entrance doors to support energy efficiency
Integrated cash desk, bagging area, and display gondolas
Seamless recessed lighting, skirting, and ventilation grilles

Challenges

Operating within a live, highly controlled retail environment required rigorous planning and coordination:
• Restricted delivery windows (before 9am / after 9pm)
• No noisy works during trading hours
• No direct rear access to the first floor, requiring logistics via shared public routes
• Limited space across both BOH and sales floor, creating trade congestion risks
• Continuous centre management inspections and compliance requirements
• Collaborating with centre management to maintain robust inspection and compliance standards
• Complex sequencing of trades within a compressed programme
• Ongoing waste management and material handling constraints

Despite these constraints, works were delivered without compromising programme or finish quality.

Key Results

Delivered a fully operational luxury retail store in just 27 days
Achieved on-time completion aligned with fixed trading deadline
Maintained exceptional finish quality across all bespoke and architectural elements
Seamlessly integrated client-direct suppliers and specialist trades
Successfully navigated strict Bicester Village operational constraints without disruption

Outcome

A refined, high-performance retail environment that reflects Creed’s premium brand identity while demonstrating Powells’ ability to deliver complex, fast-track luxury fit-outs in live retail settings.
