What we do
Food Service Environments are complex – part process manufacturing, part traffic management and part theatrical stage set. PARACHIN has over 60 years of collective experience in directing these complex components into a coherent and fulfilling experience.
Airports are amazing places, they are the commencement and terminus of great vehicles of flight. These complicated facilities handle millions of passengers along with high volumes of airline and building staff. Passenger amenities and flight support functions are critical to the smooth operation of this industry. The staff of PARACHIN has over 30 years of experience working in these complex environments.
Effective companies uphold visions that express partly who they are and partly who they wish to become. The workplace environments provide opportunities for companies to express their goals and aspirations as well as incubators of collaboration and innovation. PARACHIN has been involved in a number of visionary work environments.
Retail environment provide real opportunities for customers to engage with products. Establishing clear merchandise organization, enhancing visibility of product displays and effective customer circulation are essential elements of successful retail design.
