Title: Pret a Manger, Norwich

Client: Pret a Manger

Job: Refurbishment of existing shop unit

Date: June 2005

Owen Bond Partnership were approached to act as architects for one of the first Pret a Manger shops outside of London.

The shop, in the centre of Norwich, dates from the early 1900s and had numerous modifications and additions. Working within the historic fabric of the shop required a close working relationship with the Company’s designers to ensure that the shop fitted with the Company’s corporate image.

It also demanded careful co-ordination with the sub-contractors and specialist shopfitting contractors to complete the work on a very demanding schedule.
