A standout element of this project is the striking shopfront, which required meticulous structural engineering. The shopfront encompasses a suspended signage installation featuring 400mm height face-lit lettering with an illuminated logo sign.

This signage is mounted flush against a navy backing panel, seamlessly concealing all cabling to maintain a clean and professional look to the footwear store. The narrowline aluminum framed glazing, powder-coated shopfront entry columns, and bulkhead further enhance the store’s modern and inviting façade, showcasing our capability in custom shopfront design as a part of our shopfitting services.

In our commitment to sustainability, and working alongside likeminded environmentally conscious clients, the LED illuminated shopfront sign is controlled by a timer, aligning with the centre’s trading hours to reduce energy consumption and costs. This environmentally conscious approach not only benefits the planet, but also provides cost savings for our client, reflecting our dedication to environmentally conscious retail fitouts.

Stepping inside, customers are greeted by the hero feature of the fitout – a stunning suspended pendant chandelier light situated at the centre of the store’s entry. This elegant light fixture creates a welcoming atmosphere and sets the tone for the shopping experience.

The retail space is efficiently organized, allowing for optimal product display and customer flow, while the back-of-house area was designed for practicality and ease of operation.

Client: Platypus Shoes

Location: Karingal Hub, Frankston VIC

Area: 163m²

Complete store fitout of Platypus Shoes in Karingal Hub was undertaken in less than four weeks. The 163m² tenancy of the single level shopping centre is located just out of Frankston CBD, about 50km south east of Melbourne.

Despite the standard challenge of a sloped mall entry floor, obtaining a flush finished floor level from the large, black, square floor tiles bordering the tenancy lease line, transitioning to the grey porcelain tiles of the adjacent mall, the shop fitout of the popular footwear brand was seamless.

Precision plaster installation (completed by the experienced team at All Pro Partitions and Ceilings) and professional ceiling painting (AVS Décor) was necessary to uphold the high-quality workmanship that our Melbourne shopfitting team are known for.

Creative Strokes applied a specialised black concrete, trowelled-finish render to the shopfront columns. This application adds a fresh and modern, yet laidback aesthetic – much like the streetwear shoe brands housed within the store. Concrete rendering is currently a rather unique application to be used in Australian shopfitting, yet an appealing and cost-effective alternative to many other building materials found on most retail shop facades.

An LED strip light in the teal colour of the Platypus Shoes logo, runs along the underside length of the shopfront bulkhead. Whilst 3D facelit illuminated signage was fixed to the front. Adding to the harmonious appeal of the store, Black Mannex powder-coating was applied to all stripping channels and aluminium extrusions on the shopfront and throughout the interior fitout of the retail tenancy.

If you’re after Melbourne shopfitters who complete interior fitouts within the required tight timelines that shopfitting requires, yet still produce premium quality retail stores and pay particular attention to detail – then give us a call at AAFS Shopfitting.

Client: Peter Oram Shoes

Location: Frankston, Mornington Peninsula VIC

Area: 156m²

Carpet tiles are a great option for retail fitouts. Particularly for children’s footwear and clothing stores. They’re so quick and easy to replace should they spilt on day after day. Vinyl flooring is also popular, and used in the Frankston fitout of Peter Oram Shoes. It’s a durable flooring solution for lots of foot traffic and easily wiped and mopped. The back of house store room of the tenancy contains sheet vinyl, rather than planks. This allows staff to effortlessly slide around frame displays and shoes boxes on the floor.

The Frankston shoe store has a clean and spacious feel as you walk in. This is a result of the seamless appearance produced with floating shoe display walls. The hidden storage behind the beautiful natural oak timber look slats within the store, creates easy access to shoe sizes within the sales area. This allows staff to remain with the customers for improved service and efficiency. It’s also a lot more pleasing to the eye than seeing an abundance of stacked shoe boxes (and less likely for kids and prams to knock the stacks down, like in many other shoe stores).

Custom joinery, manufactured by AAFS Shopfitting, is highlighted throughout the interior fitout. From the ravine natural oak window display to the custom timber slat ceiling feature. The attractive natural oak steccawood panelling and laminate marble counter were also constructed by expert shopfitters for the Frankston shoe store.

So if you’re looking for shopfitters experienced in building shoe stores in Frankston and surrounding suburbs, who can save you money by manufacturing custom joinery in house – contact the elite team at AAFS Shopfitting.
