Background

Gardiner Brothers Jewellers appointed Somerville to deliver a complete specialist joinery and fit-out package for their prestigious city centre boutique. As a family-run business with a heritage dating back to 1937, Gardiner Brothers needed a space that reflected their legacy of craftsmanship and contemporary elegance.

To meet the client's vision of a timeless yet contemporary retail environment, Somerville delivered a complete Design and Build solution with specialist joinery and fit-out carried out in-house. The brief was to bring to life a refined customer experience, seamlessly integrating display functionality with premium aesthetics.

Our in-house designer developed tailored interior concepts, ensuring that each space was specifically designed and purpose-built. From refined customer consultation rooms to high-impact display areas, we optimised the layout to elevate the retail experience while integrating seamless back-of-house operations.
