Careful attention should be given to detailed designs, which would provide the shop with a unique quality which will help promote its image and the goods inside. The fascia, stall riser, pilasters and cornice each have their own function in both visual and practical terms. The fascia provides the space for advertising. The stall riser protects the glass at ground floor level and provides a visual and structural base for the shop front. The pilasters are the vertical divisions between shop fronts and are important elements in relating the shop front to the building above. The cornice defines the top of the shop front. |
