OSA exhibits at MAPIC Russia Show
architects • 26 April 2018
An excellent networking and sales opportunity supported by the DiT
We were invited by the UK Department for International Trade
to be part of a trade mission to Moscow. Having previously worked with Russian clients and having Russian speaking architects on our team, it is a natural extension for our UK business.
The MAPIC Russia
show, held over 3 days in Moscow, presented a unique opportunity to showcase our retail design abilities and network with retailers from across the Russian Federation. We were fortunate enough to make excellent connections with some of the leading Russian brands and we hope that this will be the start of a programme of international expansion for our practice.

We are delighted to announce that our retail design interior for the Wex Photo Video (formerly Wex Photographic) retail store in central London has been selected by the Shop and Display Equipment Association (SDEA) and Retail Focus magazine as a shortlisted entry for the "Best Overall Store Collaboration " category in the Creative Retail Awards . With a team consisting of Ormerod Sutton Architects, NBC Contracting Ltd and Delta Light UK , the design was conceived in mid 2017 and completed, including the bespoke furniture design and production, both on time and to budget, opening to the public in November 2017. The elapsed time from our initial appointment to completion of the 7,000sqft retail store amounted to only 6 months. Elements of this project included enhancing the customer experience, space planning, brand prominence, bespoke furniture design and product presentation. Please see our dedicated case study page for further details on the design process and images of the completed store.
