Shop and retail interior design in Chennai

Pencil Studio designs and builds retail interiors in Chennai, from boutiques to supermarkets. A shop should read bright and let the product lead, so the palette, lighting and display are chosen around what is being sold.

We draw the store, cost it line by line, and build it ourselves: counters, ceilings, lighting, murals and joinery.

Pinklay

Khader Nawaz Khan Road, Chennai

A homeware and clothing store where the product is the colour, so the shop had to stay pale and let it carry. Rattan pendants warm the ceiling, a timber counter anchors the back wall, and an arched door in green marks the way through. The mural was drawn to match the label's own hand.

How a job runs

Start a project
  1. 01

    The first conversation

    Your brief out of your head and onto paper. Who uses the space, how they move through it, and roughly what you want to spend.

  2. 02

    Site survey

    We measure the space as it is, not as the builder's drawing says it is. Walls, levels, beams, existing services.

  3. 03

    Space planning

    Where walls go, how people circulate, where the daylight lands. Given to you as options, not as one idea defended.

  4. 04

    Concept and materials

    Palette, finishes and the quality of light, chosen against the brief. A clinic should read calm. A shop should read bright.

  5. 05

    3D views

    The design drawn up before anyone cuts anything. Changing a drawing costs a morning. Changing a built wall costs a week.

  6. 06

    Working drawings

    Elevations, sections, ceiling plans, electrical and plumbing layouts, and a joinery detail for every built-in piece.

  7. 07

    Specification and costing

    Every material named, then quantified. No line that just says false ceiling without saying which system and how much of it.

  8. 08

    On site

    Civil, ceiling, carpentry, electrical, plumbing and paint, sequenced by us, with a civil engineer walking the job.

  9. 09

    Snagging

    We write down everything that is not right, however small, and close it before we ask you to accept the space.

  10. 10

    After you move in

    Spaces settle. We stay reachable through the defects period set out in your contract.
