Brand Environments
Create spaces that speak volumes
Give your brand a powerful sense of space
Environmental design is an essential extension of your brand. It’s the difference between lost and found, bland and brilliant. We believe that a thoughtfully designed environment does more than look good - it should make customers feel something. It’s all about creating spaces that tell your brand story, draw people in, make them want to stay a while and come back for more. Whether it’s a flagship store of the future, an office space or a pop-up activation, we know how to give every unique space a magic touch.
How do we approach environmental design?
It’s not about making a space look pretty - it’s about making it work beautifully. For us, environmental design is about creating experiences that seamlessly merge design and function - every decision from the lighting and materials to layout and signage - is made with your customer’s journey in mind. Along the way, we engineer big wow moments and smaller thoughtful touches.

Frequently asked questions
01
What is environmental design and why is it important?
Your physical brand environment is not just a quick in-and-out interaction. It’s a tangible experience that should leave a lasting impression. Every aspect of your store environment should be meticulously thought out and beautifully designed to make navigation easy, spark customer joy, trigger impulse purchase and drive brand loyalty.
02
How can Whippet's environmental design services benefit my retail business?

From the setting of the strategy to the creation of the identity, we then translate design into reality, giving the brand a powerful presence in the real world. Our environment design services blend the visual and functional aspects of design and we’ve got a super-talented team of researchers, strategists, designers and project managers to take you from start to finish.
03
What’s the process for developing a store design with Whippet?
We get to know your business inside out and fully immerse ourselves in your brand before we even begin. We use our research and planning phases to set a clearly defined strategy and then bring it to life through fresh concepts. We build on the idea with you before moving to the detailed design and planning stage, translating this into elevations and plans.
04
How do I know if my environments need a refresh?
If your space feels outdated, isn’t attracting the right crowd, or simply doesn’t reflect where your brand is headed, it’s time for a refresh. A fresh environment can energise your brand, improve customer experience, and keep you ahead of the competition. We can help you spot opportunities to make sure your space is still doing its job.
05
What does this process include?
Our environment design process covers everything from concept creation and layout planning to the finer details like materials, lighting and signage. We look at the full customer journey to make sure every touchpoint in your space feels intentional and on-brand.
06
Can Whippet help with implementing the environment?
We don’t just design - we’re hands-on when it comes to bringing your space to life. Our project managers oversee the whole project to make sure the final execution matches the vision and that the end result delivers.
