Introduction
The study explores the design of service experiences. We introduce how professional designers approach customer and employee experiences through purposeful servicescape design. In the empirical part we studied two servicescape design processes in Finland and Poland.

Phenomenological (experiential) approach to servicescape design
Phenomenology: the study of phenomena as they appear in an individual’s experience (Woodruff Smith 2008)
Experience: -Individually subjective, context-specific and at the same time socially inter-subjective (Husserl and Heidegger). -Experience can be related to other phenomena, such as servicescape design (Woodruff Smith 2008). -Always context-specific (events), and intra-subjective as well as inter-subjective (c.f. Vargo, 2008; Vargo and Lusch, 2008).

Servicescape Design
Servicescape (Bitner 1992) is often measured as its components but not how individual people experience it in a subjective way. Accordingly, the objective of servicescape design is the servicescape itself, but we consider servicescape as facilitating experiences customers and other beneficiaries have related to the servicescape.
THE SERVICES CONFERENCE QUIS11
Holopainen Helkkula Chłodnicki
We explored through two empirical projects carried out in Finland and Poland how servicescape design was realized. The main parties in both projects were customer representatives, architects and designers, end customers and personnel.Purpose of these projects was to redesign servicescape, and change through it the traditional logic and customer perceptions of the service. Focus was on the most intensive phases in the beginning of the projects.

Research Methods
Participant observation and interviews were the main methods applied. Researchers were present in the field and used informants as their main sources of information. Eight semi-structured interviews were carried out in Finland.
