This Autumn has seen the completion and launch of No.13 at Creasey’s, an expansion of Guernsey’s only department store involving the £10m adaptive reuse of the historic former HSBC Bank building on St Peter Port’s High Street. Lyons+Sleeman+Hoare Architects’ Interior Architecture team has delivered a rich and appealing store design befitting of the 100+ year heritage of Creasey’s in Guernsey. The store expansion has created a new vertical circulation zone with new escalators, lift and stairs threaded through dynamic new merchandising floorspace, and linking into the existing and refurbished department store sales floors. All floors and merchandising spaces are now seamlessly linked and accessible, and navigating the store a better experience than ever. Combining warm and tactile contemporary finishes the design accentuates the historic shell of the building whilst presenting a richly contrasting but simple palette of materials. Lyons+Sleeman+Hoare Architects worked closely from inception with on-island Architects Lovell Ozanne who delivered the shell building works, and we are delighted with the outcome. We look forward to the delivery of the remaining 2 phases which will upgrade much of the remaining retail spaces and together deliver a comprehensive refurbishment for Creasey’s. Creasey’s, established in 1899 has led Guernsey’s retail provision for over 100 years. L+S+H have worked with them for many years, including the design and delivery of Creasey’s M&S franchise store just next door. L+S+H have completed a number of projects in the Channel Islands as part of our work across the UK and around the world. Our expert Interior Architecture team work alongside our mainstream Architects, Placemakers and Urban Designers designing projects of all scales and major sectors from concept through delivery, alongside our Planning Consultancy, Graphics and Visualisation teams.
