UPS store in Palm Springs: Design and Build

Description

This 2,275 sq ft UPS Store was designed to combine functionality with a modern, welcoming retail environment. The goal was to create a space that enhances the customer experience while ensuring smooth operational flow for both shipping and printing services.

The layout prioritizes visibility, efficiency, and branding. The space includes a customer service area, retail merchandise displays, print & copy workstations, storage, and a secure back-office zone.

Materials & Design Features

We selected durable and low-maintenance materials to support heavy daily use. Key materials included:

Polished concrete floors with epoxy finish for durability.
Slatwall paneling for flexible product display.
Acoustic ceiling tiles for noise control.
Custom-built counters with laminate finish.
LED linear lighting to enhance visibility and reduce energy costs.

Clean Commercial Design for Scalable UPS Locations

The project follows a clean, contemporary commercial design approach. Minimalist lines, open ceilings, and neutral colors reflect the UPS brand identity while also ensuring adaptability across various franchise locations.

Design Highlights

Open floor plan with clear zoning for customer and staff areas.
Strategic lighting and signage placement to guide user flow.
Branded color palette subtly integrated into the finishes.
ADA-compliant customer counters and access throughout.
Efficient HVAC distribution to support long operational hours.

Challenges & Solutions

One of the main challenges was working within a previously subdivided retail shell that lacked proper infrastructure. We reworked the existing MEP systems and adjusted the layout to meet both franchise standards and city code requirements. Fire rating separations and accessible path-of-travel upgrades were also coordinated carefully during construction.
