Tops Thai Favourites: A Specialty Grocery for a Resort Market
A grocer within our 14,000 square meter 'Tales of Thailand' food and drinks interiors for Central Phuket Floresta on the resort island of Phuket, Thailand.
Following the themes established by the overall Floresta project, our designers used natural materials in contemporary forms.


Clear navigation, support for great visual merchandising and impulse purchases drive strong sales in a tourist environment.

Tops Thai Favourites: A Specialty Grocery for a Resort Market
Whitespace carried out our Thai contemporary design approach to the Tops Supermarket within the Central Phuket Floresta flagship lifestyle centre. Our retail experts applied well-established retail planning to the grocery, with an overlay of warmth and decor that brings a sense of its place in Thailand. Following the themes of the Tales of Thailand, our designers, for example, incorporated basket weave patterns into ceiling elements and transformed rice gathering baskets into hanging sculptures.
Structural columns are transformed into focal-points, and dump-bins are positioned strategically along the circulation for impulse purchases. Warm wood is used throughout, evoking a sense of nature and healthiness. Our scope of work includes signage and wayfinding presented with clarity and consistency. Refrigerators are built in- for a more high end feel while creating visual simplicity for the shopping experience.
