Homes Alive Pets Interior Design Project in Edmonton by Cutler
Project Details
About
Overview of the Homes Alive Pets Project
Where does a company start when faced with the opportunity to expand their retail locations, finding themselves bursting at the seams? With two Alberta locations under their belt, Homes Alive Pets knew it was time to set up shop in a big way. Opening a flagship location is not only an ambitious business move but also involves many important considerations in a physical sense.
Cutler completed a deep dive into what a flagship location should “look like” for Homes Alive Pets, exploring how to translate the brand’s values into the built environment. This discovery phase helped ensure that as the design team, we could align the company’s growth goals with a purposeful and efficient space.
Our team’s work focused on commercial interior design principles that balance customer experience, operational flow, and scalability. The result is a retail design that feels both open and inviting, with functional layouts that support both shopping and warehouse operations.
The Edmonton location represents a major milestone in the client’s growth. Through careful planning and collaboration, Cutler delivered an environment that reflects brand consistency while meeting the practical needs of a large-format retail store.
