RETAIL & RESTAURANT
RIM Architects has been providing design services for the retail and restaurant industry for over 20 years. Our retail portfolio ranges from the intricate details of high-end boutiques to the functional design of “big box” stores.
The restaurant dining experience is as dependent upon the atmosphere as it is the food and service. RIM Architects designs with this in mind. We have designed for theme restaurants, high-end and four-star restaurants, hotel dining facilities, cafés and national-brand dining.

RIM understands the dining and retail environment and how important the design environment is to the overall experience.
The customer is the ultimate judge of a good design. It is well known--and the topic of countless studies--that the effects of retail and dining environment translate to more enjoyable customer experiences, return customers and increased revenue.
Our goal in every retail and restaurant design is to fully understand our clients' visions and brand aesthetics, and transform them into exceptional customer experience. We listen and respond to every detail and collaborate to create award-winning and revenue-earning retail and dining establishments.

Boutiques Designing for prestigious high-end brand boutiques demands sophisticated design sensibilities, attention to detail, and quality execution. Each brand has its own image to portray, and it is the designer’s responsibility to incorporate the brand image into an exceptional retail experience that sells an exclusive product.

Retail CentersWe develop strategies for retail centers that offer up new approaches for achieving customer-focused retail environments. Whether it is a newly designed and constructed retail center, or a refresh, redevelopment or expansion of an existing property, RIM provides informed insights into customer preferences. RIM's retail design specialists keep pace with the latest trends and materials in the world of retail design.
RIM's retail designers also sharpen their retail design acumen through latest science and psychology of how design impacts and motivates the customer and the overall retail experience. We understand that sufficient visual richness and variety are essential to keeping the consumer stimulated and interested in the product and shopping environment.

Prototype Retail & RestaurantsTypically derived from the bones of a prototype, Big Box and chain retail design requires a sensory interpretation of the brand values. Design responses must communicate a familiarity of the product, while also adapting and respecting the uniqueness of each location.
RIM Architects has worked with numerous chain retail clients, assisting chain retailers' architects with local boots-on-the-ground expertise. We provide critical information regarding what resonates with the local client base. We help to adapt corporate design prototypes into locally appealing shopping and dining venues that still retain the strong imprint of the corporation's iconic brand.

A memorable signature design in a dining establishment can create 'buzz' in a community, attracting clientele as much for the food as the ambiance. RIM understands the importance of key elements such as dramatic use of materials and lighting incorporated into efficient layout to maximize seating and streamline waitstaff pathways.

Back of house areas are equally important to good food establishment design. Commercial kitchens that chefs love to cook in increase the creative and productive food preparation environment, while contributing to back of house profitability.
An attractive exterior façade invites walk-in clientele. RIM has provided external restaurant façade upgrades as well as incorporated this important design element into new-construction dining establishments. We also provide stunning graphic design for new restaurant signage.

Automotive RetailDistinctive automotive retail and service design centers around the customer controlling the environment. Building flexibility into product display, combined with creating innovative spaces for customers to control the flow of information make for the most successful car purchasing environments. Service spaces that minimize wait times and maximize positive customer service interface are key to building long-term relationships in the automotive sales industry. RIM understands the role of design in how the car-buyer perceives the auto brand.

Financial ServicesWith a shift from traditional teller-focused banking and financial services, the definition of a branch bank is being transformed by technology and competition. Moving towards retail banking, the built environment invests in the customer’s experience with minimum on-site staff and maximum access to technology that brings a host of financial services efficiently to the customer.
