– STORE EXTENSION –
DATE: 2020
THE BRIEF:
Built in 2005, the ALDI Colac store was no longer large enough to accommodate the company’s increased product range and was due for a refurbishment. ALDI requested design options to extend the retail area almost 30 per cent.
OUR APPROACH:
While the store extension itself was a fairly straightforward design, there were a number of issues which needed to be resolved during the design stage including:
• relocating the bus stop on Hesse St;
• relocating a crossover to Hesse St;
• diverting a sewer main around the extension;
• relocating external fire services;
• inclusion of a new plant enclosure while minimising the loss of parking spaces; and
• Sourcing brick type to match existing as original brick no longer available.
RESULTS:
The store remained open while the extension was completed (in December 2020). Local shoppers are now enjoying the expanded product range at their improved ALDI Colac.
