Commercial projects
A commercial design must serve several purposes in order to be successful. It must communicate an enterprise’s vision and goals in ways that entice its visitors to transact business there without any “identity crisis”; at the same time, it should also provide an ergonomically comfortable reassurance to the people that work there. Equally importantly, it must deliver these requirements in an economically efficient manner.
Layout, lighting, materials, finishes, and signage are just a few of the design elements that can create a commercial space which helps its owner build, nurture, and profit from a business enterprise. Design elements are like tools and raw materials, however; it still takes a skilled craftsman to use them as the basis of a fine finished product.
