We are an award winning architectural company that helps people to take their ideas from paper to life. For years, we have been working on the likes of extensions, renovations, and new builds. Our team often has the task to complete commercial architecture projects too. To ensure things go to plan, we work closely with our clients.
Modern commercial buildings are far different to what they once were. New materials and technologies are on offer now. Also, new layouts and designs have become popular. Our way of thinking about the designs of our buildings has even undergone an evolution.
Bringing living and work together
One of the most interesting trends here is the work/living cross over. The boundaries of where we live and work are different from what they were. Many people are embracing flexible working. Due to this, commercial buildings are changing the way they do things.
It is becoming essential for huge structures to offer the personality and design you would find in a home. Places to do activities and exercise, relax, and eat are now all common in a commercial building. Having them aids you in guaranteeing that people will enjoy spending time here. It will also be useful to them. If you need help with your commercial architecture, please give us a call.
It is possible to see how this trend has transformed over time by looking at cafes. If you visit one on a Monday at around 11am, you will see people having informal meetings and doing work. The boundary of where individuals talk about work and are happy is different. Consequently, our buildings must take this into consideration.
A sustainable future
Another trend of note would be sustainability/eco-conscious design. The need for this has more significance than ever. We are seeing the issues caused by construction inefficiencies and waste. Eco-friendly design is about more than the materials we use. To succeed, you must maximise everything that is around you. Structures can enhance their use of passive energy, light, and heat flow.
The positioning of your building will be a major consideration when you design one. Make certain you position it to employ the surrounding environment. This can lead to big reductions in costs.
