5 Qualities of Exceptional Architectural Design



There are a few key elements that stand out as the foundation of any great building. Here’s a quick guide to the stand-out elements of architectural design in NJ.

  1. Sustainability: This refers to the inclusion of technology and design elements that help create buildings that have a lower carbon footprint, are more affordable to maintain, and are energy-efficient to keep running costs down. Making this a priority in the design stage is a great way for businesses to keep long-term costs down and improve their environmental image.
  2. Aesthetics: Building designs are constantly changing to include new innovations and trends, but a well-designed structure will always be able to include the elegance and attractiveness of the period in a way that is timeless.
  3. Functionality: Above all else, a building should be practical to use whether it is residential, commercial or industrial. It should fit its purpose completely, from foundation to finishing touches to not only suit the use of the building but enhance the functions of the people who utilize it.
  4. Comfort: A building should be easy and comfortable to use, with the right proportions for different spaces and the amount of people occupying it. Whether it is a restaurant, hotel, workspace or home, the building should never feel cramped, awkward or too large for its primary function. It should also be built to last, using quality materials and design principles that ensure durability and strength against general use, weather and the environment.
  5. Future proofing: Now more than ever, architectural design must look to future needs of occupants in order to deliver a building that will function for decades to come. While we can’t predict the future itself, architects can create spaces that are more flexible and dynamic, ensuring that additions, technology and extensions can be made to incorporate new technology and changing requirements.

Hybrid Office Design: A Guide for Architects and Employers

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.

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.
