Project Introduction
Peter Jones is a Grade II listed department store of the John Lewis Partnership. Occupying an entire city block, the store’s six buildings encapsulate over 80 years of changing attitudes to retail architecture. The refurbishment of the store’s 20th-century façades aimed to reveal and express the building’s significant heritage through the extensive use of colour.
AMS’s versatility in offering bespoke solutions helped realise the architect’s vision, which needed to accommodate the existing building conditions. Most of these details were unknown until installation.
Therefore, the main challenge we faced was to achieve consistent building lines that could overcome the undulations of the structure whilst maintaining the unique building footprint that the department store has become known for
If you can visit the store, you may not find a bargain to suit your budget, but you can see the expert craftsmanship of the Architectural Metal Features for free.
