Aesop High Street — Acreline Electrical

Aesop specify their stores to the millimetre, and the lighting is most of the room. The brief was a shell on High Street turned into a trading store with every fitting exactly where the drawings put it.

Which means the electrical had to be set out with the joiner rather than after them — chases and mounting points agreed before the cabinetry was made, not cut into it afterwards.
