Shop Fitting & Commercial Fit Outs

Architectural shop fitting and commercial fit outs for Brisbane’s leading businesses

Shop fitting and commercial fit outs shape how your customers experience your brand the moment they step inside. For retail, hospitality venues, offices, medical practices, and premium commercial spaces, the fit out determines not only how a space looks—but how it performs, flows, and endures.

Leithal Designs offers a luxury, architecture-led approach to commercial fit outs in Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Led by Principal Designer and QBCC-licensed commercial building designer Sonia Leith, we create refined, functional spaces that elevate business performance and deliver long-term value.

Our focus is not decorating or surface-level design.

We specialise in architectural space planning, compliance leadership, premium materiality, and documentation excellence—the pillars required to deliver a commercial fit out that is intelligent, durable, and aligned with your brand.

Why Choose an Architecture-Led Fit Out Partner?

Traditional shop fitters often focus on joinery and installation.
Commercial builders focus on construction.
Leithal Designs operates differently:
We deliver strategic, design-led commercial environments where beauty, compliance, and function are integrated from day one.

This is essential for:

retail stores requiring premium visibility
hospitality venues with service flow and compliance constraints
healthcare clinics with strict technical requirements
high-performing workplaces seeking engagement and efficiency
multi-level commercial tenancies with complex spatial challenges

A successful commercial fit out demands an expert who understands architectural design, compliance requirements, services integration, material longevity, and brand experience—working together within the constraints of Brisbane’s commercial landscape.

The Leithal Designs Difference

Architectural expertise, premium design, and end-to-end clarity

Led by a QBCC-Licensed Commercial Building Designer

With more than two decades of commercial design experience, Sonia brings technical insight that reduces risk and ensures your fit out is:

fully compliant
buildable and structurally sound
efficient and cost-conscious
aligned with council, landlord, and certifier expectations

This is especially important in CBD high-rise tenancies and older commercial buildings across Brisbane and SEQ.

A luxury design standard for every space

Premium commercial spaces require:

refined material palettes
custom joinery
brand-driven experience design
long-wear finishes
thoughtful lighting
durability in high-use environments

This level of detail differentiates Leithal Designs from general fit out companies and ensures longevity, sophistication, and stronger user engagement.

End-to-end fit out leadership

We guide clients through the entire commercial fit out journey:

feasibility and concept planning
interior concept design
detailed documentation
Development Applications
Construction Certificates
tendering with three builders
coordination during construction

This consistency ensures your design intent is protected from concept to completion.

Local Brisbane CBD + SEQ knowledge

Fit outs in Brisbane and the Gold Coast often require:

strict tenancy approvals
lift access schedules

Our team’s local insight helps avoid delays and streamline approvals.
