What will happen to our high streets in the age of internet shopping? How can we make our towns and cities lively, economically viable and interesting places to be? As retail architects, aLL Design approaches projects that tackle multiple problems, viewing them as opportunities to effect change and encourage engagement and participation.

Our masterplanning and regeneration projects such as Croydon, Manchester, Chongqing, Bradford and Barnsley required a re-imagining of what the city can be, working with and enhancing local topography and the grain of historic development.
