Department Store Facade Upgrade, John Lewis Oxford Street, London

Client: John Lewis & Partners
Location: Oxford Street, London
Contract Value: £410,000
Programme: 18 weeks
MJ Electrical Services proudly took part in the store façade upgrade to John Lewis’ flagship store at Oxford Street, London. The project restored and enhanced the key facades of the John Lewis department store facing Oxford Street and returns to Holles and Old Cavendish Streets.

A complex external restoration at the John Lewis flagship store was successfully delivered to a tight programme that had critical dependencies with other branch activities. A glass back-lit halo design was fitted to signpost the store and complement the ‘blade’ signage alongside the launch of the new John Lewis & Partnership brand identity.

Internally, feature lighting and picture framing elements were introduced. Architectural lighting was also fitted to highlight the vertical columns, refurbished elevations and the Barbara Hepworth ‘Winged Figure’ statue.

A fundamental part of this project, requiring a complex coordination of proposals, was the ‘Place to Eat’ terrace situated on the 5th floor. The balcony on the Oxford Street/Old Cavendish Street corner provides an outdoor dining space, invigorating the diversified use of this flagship store.
