You may be able to see the kind of environment you have in mind. You may be able to show us your main idea. You may have collected some examples of the projects you admire. Or you may prefer to talk about your plans in a totally non-creative way. This is when our partnership begins and we work alongside you and select the right collaborators to bring your plans to life.

When you approve the design and concept for the projects, the picture suddenly gets clearer. There is a workflow. A schedule. A team. The physical components can be selected or created from scratch. The design begins to be populated with physical items. We keep you informed at every step but the project is now totally under control and orchestrated by us.

With the go-live date fixed, our schedule dictates everything that needs to be done. The physical space is assembled and all the components installed. Our efforts are now focused on delivering the project at the level of quality that is expected, on time and on budget.

We’ve come up with a long overdue improvement to the way new retail and office environments are created. Although projects like these seem linear and orderly, they are actually complex and volatile recipes. They involve multiple different disciplines, processes, roles, responsibilities, motives and even working cultures. And yet, usually, there is no single observation point. Nobody conducting the orchestra. This responsibility passes on from person to person en route. In effect, as a client, you lose the feeling of control. At &elements, we adopt this orchestrating role, by your side. We don’t design anything. We don’t make anything. We’re not agents for anyone. So we are neutral and uniquely placed to offer you and your vision an objective sense of guidance.
