Planning a Project?

Commercial design is the creation of buildings, spaces, and structures for use by  business. This genre of design stands apart from other forms by focusing on the  client’s business needs. The entire design must be engineered to accommodate  the type of business run within the facility and make the client’s business goals  easier to reach.

This is where commercial architects must meet a higher challenge. In residential  work, for example, the design must only cater to the needs of a small group of  people – the occupying household. But in commercial architecture, the design must satisfy the occupying business, its employees, and all customers (or patients, clients, and any other people the business may serve).

Commercial architects work to understand the behavior of customers and  others who interact with their client’s business. This requires a firm grasp of the  psychology of sales, as well as a familiarity with consumer trends. Most  importantly, commercial architects investigate how various design choices can  influence how consumers behave, what decisions they make, and how they  perceive the client’s brand, products, and services.
