In the past a lot of commercial architecture was very similar in terms of the design and aesthetics. Today though, we are in an age of rapid innovation. That means it is a really exciting time for businesses and their premises. They have the chance to innovate and ensure they can keep up with the rapid changes in technology and the evolution of how people perceive and interact with buildings.

Shapes

One way to innovate is to be creative with the actual shape of the building. Architects have access to new technology and a whole host of materials. As a result there is no need to stick with standard square or rectangular buildings. Instead they can be all kinds of creative shapes. They can be much more efficient for businesses and help them to make a really great impression on people.

Materials

The main area where you can see innovation in architecture is in the choice of materials. There are so many options today it is a crime to create a boring building that looks like everything else. Instead the architects can look at how they can combine materials to create something incredible.

Colours

Just like mixing it up with materials, modern commercial architecture has far more freedom in terms of the colour. It could be as simple as choosing eye catching cladding in a unique colour. Or, it could be pops of colour in different parts of the facade. It is also possible to be creative with colours inside the building. A great option is to celebrate the brand both in the interior and on the exterior.

Modern art

The best examples of innovative architecture can be pieces of art in their own right. They are far better than having to stick to tired old designs. At the same time, these designs can be better for users, the environment, and other stakeholders.
