Architecture in the commercial sector is an investment that can create a pleasant environment for doing business. Clients and customers are drawn to a place because of the ambiance. It addresses the public letting them know that they are welcome. Work environments are also enhanced, giving employees a sense of pride and connection with the firm.

A commercial building should provide an identity for the company that is housed within. It should speak to the caliber of service one might expect when one interacts with contact personnel.

The hard surfaces of construction are softened by the interface with the landscape and interior spaces made pleasing and comfortable.

Commercial structures have an effect on the environment and the cityscape into which they are introduced. Compatible interface with both the natural landscape and urban patterns is necessary. The impact of traffic and parking is a primary concern, both of which can enhance or detract from the success of a business at a particular location.

The interior ambiance is a primary concern to both employees and customers. The impact of the systems that provide lighting and create comfort is a major consideration to be addressed. The cost of doing business is affected as well as the impact on the environment.

The economics of owning or leasing space is a key factor in the success of any business. Consideration of this aspect begins in the initial phases of design, and is held at the forefront throughout the process. Attention to the primary cost of development as well as the projected cost of operating the complex over time is essential.

Our designers work closely with the owners and managers to identify space needs as well as financial requirements.  Working together with construction managers, we attempt to create a balance between the elegance of the structure and the cost to develop and manage it.

Commercial buildings include office buildings for general management and professional activities as well as places for commerce. Retail stores, restaurants, banking facilities, hotels and medical clinics are the types most visited by the public. Lodges and guest ranches are a special variety located in the countryside.

Our designers are prepared to provide design services for commercial buildings starting with planning approvals, through schematics, construction documents, negotiations and construction observation. We also do tenant finish design and fixtures.

If you are ready to provide the best ambiance for your customers and employees give us a call.
