5 Reasons Why Commercial Building Design Matters


Why does commercial building design matter?  Your office design and work environment will affect

your employees' productivity and the first impression potential customers form of your business.  An effective remodel which keeps up with emerging trends can increase productivity, available space, efficiency, curb-appeal and even sales. You can design your workspace to represent your work culture.  All said your employees will also love to work in a well-designed workspace.


5 Reasons Why Commercial Building Design Matters

Below are reasons why commercial building design matters.  An Underused Branding Opportunity  Lighting And Ventilation  Department specific goals  Dynamic spaces  Plants and foliage


An Underused Branding Opportunity  A lot of thought and brainstorming goes into

effectively designing a commercial space.  Branding is all about having a brand identity, positioning your company to reflect that identity, and illustrating personality.  It is not just branding for your customers but your employees will also feel honored to work in such an environment.  Plan the right design with your commercial office renovator to build your brand.


Lighting And Ventilation  A recent study shows that in buildings with good

daylight conditions workers are 18% more productive, students achieve 5-14% higher test scores, and retail spaces achieve 15-40% higher sales.  At the same time, better ventilation was shown to improve workplace productivity by 11%. So, it is very natural that the office owners and builders are keeping these design needs in mind.  Keep your employees healthy and alert to keep them productive.


Department Specific Goals  Each department is important and every department

will have specific goals. Designing all the departments in the same way is not ideal.  For example, a design team may enjoy a colourful, creative, free-flowing space whereas the accounts team may want things very standardized and organized.  Understand your team’s needs to design the perfect space for them.


Dynamic Spaces  Many new offices use working space dynamically.

You can discuss this with your commercial contractor to make optimum use of the space.  Unused spaces can be used for everything from physical fitness to gamming to nap time. Removing partitions between offices may elevate employee interaction and innovation.  This will also make the office space look larger. Plan to incorporate multi-purpose open spaces in your new office.


Plants And Foliage ď‚— Going green is a major interior design trend. It

improves air quality and these plants have the power to reduce stress, anxiety, and fatigue.
