Cold Store Design
At Morson Praxis, we don’t just design cold stores – we architect the backbone of Britain’s food supply chain. Because when your business depends on keeping things cool under pressure, there’s no room for lukewarm solutions.
The Morson Praxis Difference
We're the bridge between engineering excellence and operational reality.
We’ve spent years working alongside multi-temperature 3PLs, leading food manufacturers, and port operators who know that in cold storage, the devil truly is in the detail. That’s where our reputation as market specialists comes from – not just understanding the engineering, but genuinely grasping how these facilities live and breathe in the real world.
What Makes Cold Storage Actually Work
Space Economics:
Every square metre costs money, and flexibility isn’t just nice to have – it’s survival. Your facility needs to adapt when customer demands shift, product lines change, or handling requirements evolve. We design for today’s needs and tomorrow’s pivots.
Energy Intelligence:
Smart refrigerant selection and energy management don’t just tick environmental boxes – they directly impact your bottom line. We’ll show you exactly how the right choices can transform operational costs from burden to competitive advantage.
Future-Proofing:
Technology moves fast in logistics. The handling systems that seem cutting-edge today might be yesterday’s news in five years. Our designs anticipate these shifts, building in the adaptability that keeps you ahead rather than scrambling to catch up.
Safety Without Compromise:
Vehicle movement, pedestrian safety, and operational flow aren’t afterthoughts – they’re fundamental design principles. Because the best facility in the world is worthless if people can’t work safely within it.
Foundation Reality:
Hard-working buildings need robust foundations. Proper floors, precision joints, and appropriate flatness aren’t glamorous topics, but they’re what separates facilities that perform from those that constantly need fixing.
Insurance Harmony:
Everything must not just perform, but comply. We design with insurance requirements baked in from day one, avoiding those costly retrofit conversations later.
Environmental Stewardship:
Managing environmental risks isn’t just about compliance – it’s about building facilities that communities welcome rather than worry about. Good design makes good neighbours.
The Complete Picture:
Quality external bunkering, well-planned yards, and proper parking provision for everything from sprinter vans to articulated lorries. Because the best internal operations fall apart if the external logistics don’t flow smoothly.
