Our challenge was executing renovations without disrupting daily operations, ensuring a flawless finish that showcased the brand’s premium products.

Kirei Beauty
Kirei Beauty’s boutique required a sleek, modern design that reflected the brand’s luxury aesthetic while seamlessly incorporating a fully functional salon. Our team executed a high-end build-out, integrating custom millwork, ambient lighting, and precision finishes to create an inviting retail space. The unique challenge was designing a layout that balanced product displays with an in-boutique salon, ensuring smooth client flow and a premium experience. Through meticulous planning and expert craftsmanship, we delivered a visually stunning space that enhances both retail engagement and salon services.
Lady M Confections
For Lady M Confections, we constructed an elegant retail and café space that mirrored the brand’s refined identity. The project involved intricate detailing, seamless integration of front-of-house and back-of-house operations, and high-end finishes. The challenge was executing precision craftsmanship while ensuring strict compliance with health and safety codes for food service operations. By leveraging our expertise in both retail and hospitality construction, we delivered a sophisticated space that enhances the customer experience and brand image.
Woodcraft
For Woodcraft, we designed and built a highly functional retail space that caters to woodworking enthusiasts and professionals alike. The project featured a strategic layout with dedicated display areas for tools, lumber, and accessories while ensuring seamless customer flow. A key challenge was integrating a fully equipped classroom in the back, complete with workbenches, dust collection systems, and power tool functionality. By balancing retail efficiency with hands-on learning spaces, we delivered an immersive environment that enhances both shopping and education.
