Architecturally, Fosse Park introduces the use of internal and external illuminated timber fins, designed to create a new, own able exterior architecture, to provide internal shade and soften the appearance both on the approach and the in-store experience. The warm light levels and the increased vision into the store act as an inviting beacon encouraging customers in. Internally the fins act as a sculptural feature, framing the interior spaces, bringing the much needed human scale, without losing the impact of the airy open atrium.

Fosse Park sees a new concept for the Children’s department, following the latest thinking across Women’s, Men's & Home, aligning the departments with a more common material palette, whilst still giving the departments their own standout. The impression is of one brand with many facets, more coordinated, less fragmented.
