Akros Mimarlık
Retail, display and commercial interior design. The circulation thinking learned on exhibition stands does the same job in a permanent space.
Four fields, one discipline
Designing a space is not a question of appearance but of sequence: deciding what a person sees first and what they see next.
Field of work
Sales floor layout, display order, the relationship between till and stockroom. A plan where the product sits at eye level and the customer is never squeezed.
Field of work
Dealer display corners, corporate exhibition areas and brand windows. A modular set-up has to be repeatable across many locations.
Field of work
Office reception, meeting floors and visitor flow. This is where you see whether a corporate identity survives the move into space.
Limited intake
Interior layout, wet areas and furniture detailing. We take a limited number of these: small in scale, dense in detail.
An exhibition stand stands for four days; a shop for years. Both ask the same question: where does a person enter, how fast do they walk, where do they stop and what do they see when they do. A team that has learned to answer that in a four-day space works more comfortably in a permanent one.
The discipline of a fair is simple: the calendar does not move, dimensions do not drift, the assembly order is known from the start. We carry that into retail and display work — drawings are made in conversation with the workshop, and the build does not depart from the drawing.
The two sides feed each other: a display solution tested in a shop turns up a year later in an exhibition stand niche.

The process follows the same order as stand design: on-site survey and brief, plan layout, 3D visualisation, material and lighting decisions, production drawings, fabrication and installation. The difference is that regulations and building services weigh more in a permanent space.
Most of the making happens in the workshop. Furniture, display units and bespoke joinery are followed from one place, so there is no gap between the detail on the drawing and the piece that is fitted.
For building regulations and fire classification we follow the publications of the Chamber of Architects of Turkey.
Yes. Design and production drawings can be taken separately and you can run the build with your own contractor. Site supervision is then discussed as a separate item.
Design runs two to four weeks from survey to approval; the build depends on floor area and services scope. The schedule is set together at the first meeting.
The design team and the workshop are the same; the site crew is different. A fair install is a few intense days, a shop fit-out runs over weeks and needs separate management.
The fair name, dates, floor area and number of open sides are enough. We come back within two working days with a concept and a budget range.
