Portland Design

Established in 1987 and with offices in London, Dubai & Utrecht, Portland is an award-winning design consultancy specialising in the retail, leisure and travel sectors. Portland comprises a group of highly creative people with complementary skills and expertise. We boast an integrated team of branding specialists, interior, architectural and graphic designers. Our work spans everything from bran

d strategy and environmental branding to retail masterplanning and public realm (shopping centres, mixed-use developments & airports) to retail and F&B environments and brand experiences. Our culture is based on a truly interdisciplinary team ethos whose passion for understanding consumers’ relationships with brands and their interaction with environments lies at the heart of our business. We are customer advocates - our projects are driven by the customer experience. Our approach is underpinned by new thinking, innovative design and commercial pragmatism, allowing us to develop design solutions that lead to differentiation for our clients’ offer and meaningful experiences for their customers. At our core, we are in the business of ‘story telling’. Our solutions are not so much about brand applications but more about the transformation of a brand essence into immersive and multi-sensory environmental experiences. Our first thoughts are not of buildings or spaces, but of people and how people engage with environments. We set out to plan and design places that are imbued with touch points along the customer journey that attract, inform, surprise and delight…that is …

‘Brands and Places for People. To this end we are catalysts of new thinking! In November 2015, Portland joined global architecture and design firm Perkins+Will. With 24 offices and 1,800 professionals worldwide, Perkins+Will creates thoughtful, beautiful, purposefully designed places for people to live, learn, work, travel, play, and heal. The firm’s focus on research, innovation, and sustainability led to its 2015 distinction as one of “The World’s Top 10 Most Innovative Companies in Architecture” by Fast Company, and as the No. 5 leading architecture and design firm in the U.S. by ARCHITECT Magazine.
