Slide Over

Vicki Leavy - General Manager

Barb and her team work extremely hard to achieve a beautiful balance of both function and aesthetic outcomes for both Landlord and Retailer, whilst always mindful budget. We’re thrilled with the Standard of presentation Alkot Studio have achieved for us at Yamanto Central.

Tomas Lancini - Group Development Manager

Being a Landlord that pride ourselves on the presentation of our portfolio, engaging a specialist Alkot Studio such as Barbara and her team, gives me the confidence that new fit-outs and refurbishments will be delivered to the highest standard. Whether it be a first time retail operator or a national chain, Barbara will ensure the best outcome for all parties.

Bob Newberry - Senior Project Manager

“If you want your design vision translated into each tenancy fitout within your retail centre then you need to speak to Alkot Studio. They truly understand how to design the interface between landlord, tenant and customers wants.”

Simon Juniper - Senior Vice President Development

Barbara and her team at Alkot Studio have an intimate knowledge of retail design, tenancy integration and tenancy coordination. Alkot Studio have been instrumental in the successful delivery of Valley Metro in Fortitude Valley and several of our other assets, from initial inception of the tenancy designs to the delivery of all retail tenancies. They are well respected by projects teams, landlords, property managers and tenants and this has been key to their success.

Noel Woodward - Head of Property Management

RAM began working with Barbara and the Alkot Studio team in 2019. We were in need of tenancy interior design and Retail design management (RDM) input in our Centres and some discipline on tenancy designs. In particular, we needed some empathy in a centre with very high overseas born and not just a cookie cutter approach.

Barbara and the team more than rose to that challenge, and developed a design scheme to transform the centre from a sterile, clinical feel, to one with a tilt to the Middle East. Her feel and understanding of retail is excellent, as is her ability to win over sometimes difficult tenants.
