The Archmill House team was recently awarded its first Nespresso location at the Mapleview Centre mall in Burlington, Ontario. The famed coffee and espresso machine brand has an ongoing relationship with an Italian manufacturer, but was looking to partner with Archmill to overcome logistical challenges involved with shipping from Europe.

Nespresso had previously run a pilot pop-up at Mapleview Centre, and quickly saw the location’s viability and potential for strong revenue. To bring the full Nespresso brand and experience to a more permanent location in the mall, the goal was to create a sleek, modern storefront that would get the attention of mall shoppers and showcase the design-focus of their products. The challenge, however, was in bringing this vision to life while still maintaining Nespresso’s design specifics and emphasis on European finishes.

The Archmill team oversaw the complete design and installation of the Nespresso location, including custom perimeter fixtures, cabinets, and cash desks. The design emphasized a stylish and modern aesthetic with a warm and inviting color palette that has created a welcoming atmosphere for customers.

One of the more unique aspects of the project was the use of recycled coffee grinds, which were transformed into a product utilized for counter surfaces. This particular product is only manufactured by Nespresso's Italian manufacturer, which meant effective planning and coordination was essential to meet project deadlines.

In the end, the Archmill team delivered a premium, stand-out store that has brought the full Nespresso brand experience to the Mapleview Centre mall.
