Airport Retail Stores

The 2,000m² retail expansion in International Departures of Christchurch Airport features several new stores adjacent to the Aelia Duty Free, including Whittaker’s, Naturally NZ by Discover, Tiki Tour, and Relay. The design of the Whittaker’s store makes use of the brand's strong identity and existing material palette, with a luxurious golden glow emanating from the chocolate shop window that serves as a focal point along the airside store frontages. The new store concept for Naturally NZ by Discover showcases New Zealand Merino products and features a contemporary interpretation of a woolshed, with a patchwork plywood shopfront, minimal materials, and New Zealand landscape imagery. The Tiki Tour store's design takes inspiration from the New Zealand outdoors, specifically a South Island bushwalk, with the forest canopy projected onto the ceiling to create a natural and inviting space. The Relay store has a more contemporary and uncluttered design, with angled linear lighting to create interest while still maintaining a strong brand presence. While each store has its unique identity, they have been designed to complement each other seamlessly.
