Shelter Scotland’s Botanics Community Shop, Glasgow

Shelter Scotland’s Botanics Community Shop brief called for a fresh and modern aesthetic aligned with its

brand identity, while ensuring customers felt welcome to browse in a comfortable environment. Accessibility

was also a priority, with a ramp replacing an existing step to make the shop easier to navigate for all visitors.

Natasha Spyrou, shop development manager at Shelter, said: “We wanted customers to feel like they’re

stepping into a curated high-end retail space that also supports a meaningful cause.”

The project aimed to create a contemporary boutique-style experience that still feels welcoming and

community focused. With average weekly footfall expected to exceed 500 visitors, the store needed to balance

style, durability and inclusivity.
