Redefining Your Commercial Space: Tips from a Commercial Architect

 


Are you looking to redesign your commercial space? Industrial design can be challenging because there are so many elements to consider and the spaces are often very large which can feel overwhelming. With the help of an experienced commercial architect, you can turn your space into a place that not only looks stunning, but feels enjoyable and comfortable for everyone in it. Here are some important things to keep in mind when redesigning your commercial space in NJ. 

Consider Adaptability & Flexibility

When scoping out your original design, keep in mind that your business may expand and grow over the coming years. With that said, it’s recommended to incorporate features like high ceilings and minimal interior fixed elements. Flexible architecture also includes things like versatile shared spaces in office buildings, multipurpose rooms and break areas, as well as placing the kitchens and restrooms in locations that won’t restrict any future expansions. 

Employee Comfort Comes First

Your employees spend many hours each week in your building and prioritizing their comfort is essential to the success of your business. Elements like natural daylight, noise mitigation, temperature and air humidity control, and indoor air quality should be at the center of your redesign – and an experienced commercial architect can work with you to create a space that promotes everyone’s health and well-being. 

Sustainability

Sustainable design isn’t just a trendy buzzword. Sustainable architecture is a concept that encompassess the entire planning and building process, from conducting environmental impact surveys during the initial planning stage, all the way through to choosing energy-efficient light bulbs as the final touch. 

Sustainable architects involve other parties in an effort to make their projects as low-impact as possible, such as sourcing from local sustainable suppliers, and working with the facility maintenance team to learn more about the building’s energy needs.
