Inside the Top Trends of Modern Commercial Architecture



The workspace has transformed over the last ten years from a classic – often unimaginative – and rigid structure to something far more dynamic, creative and aware of its place in the wider community. This change shows no sign of slowing down in 2018, bringing with it exciting trends that will have a lasting impact on commercial building design and commercial architecture in NJ and around the world.

The Unconventional Workspace 


One of the biggest commercial building design trends for 2018 is the drive to differentiate your workspace by going against all the conventions of what a traditional office stands for. Think open spaces inspired by living rooms, coffee bars and spas. Think activity-based spaces that embrace color, personality and inspiration. Think of bold design, ways of using materials in an unexpected way, and creating multi-use spaces that embody casual creativity.

The Biophillic Workspace 


This is a philosophy about the connections between people and nature that’s making an increasingly powerful impact on architectural design. It’s common for people to spend 90% of their lives indoors, working and at home – and yet the connection between spending time outdoors and creativity, wellness and productivity is extensively supported by numerous studies. The answer is the biophillically designed building, a space that brings in the textures, materials, patterns and lighting of nature to the indoors.

The Dynamic Workspace 


Here, the trend focuses on developing a workspace that can change to meet different needs in contrast to fixed-purpose offices that consist of a set number of rooms of a specific standardized size. Companies are constantly adapting – growing, pivoting their services, or taking on new projects – so your space must be able to work with your business. This is realized through movable architectural walls, lightweight furnishings that aren’t fixed in place and meeting spaces that can be expanded outdoors.

Hybrid Office Design: A Guide for Architects and Employers

Image
Hybrid office design is now standard practice across the board. Some companies still require employees to be in the office full-time, while many others offer a permanent hybrid work alternative.  Gallup  states that hybrid workers are, on average, coming into the office three days per week, which requires a rethink of modern office architecture. We need innovative office spaces to accommodate the diverse needs of hybrid work. That being said, our team of architects in NJ have put together a guide to hybrid office design based on the most recent commercial office additions to our portfolio. What Are Hybrid Work Models?    What are flexible and hybrid work models at their core? They link remote workers with on-site employees and include spaces such as home, the office, and a third space that could be a local coffee shop or a more ambitious spot like the beach. Employees have the flexibility to choose when they will be in the office, unless there are team-specific ...
