Commercial spaces can be challenging to conceptualise and create as there are numerous factors that need to be taken into consideration. At Cohesion Architects, we understand the pivotal role that design plays in shaping the identity and functionality of a commercial space and balancing that with an aesthetic that inspires, engages and motivates.
Your workspace is important for numerous reasons. Each of these reasons play a crucial part in determining whether the space will be successful in terms of serving its purpose and conveying a message. Not only is it a visual representation of your company to your employees, but it also showcases who you are to clients and potential clients. Therefore, it is imperative for your company’s success that your clients have a positive impression of who you are and what you are about – and your commercial space plays a large factor in creating that.
In this post we want to highlight some key factors that should be considered when it comes to designing and creating your commercial office space to elevate it and take it to the next level – both for employees and clients.
1. Focused Brand identity
Whether it is an office space or retail store, the end-result of the space needs to be considered. Is it a space to display your projects or is it a place to sell your products? The goals, purpose and target audience of the space needs to be clearly articulated and defined so that the design elements and workspace flow can highlight that, creating a seamless, cohesive space.
2. Functionality
Commercial spaces need to be functional to be successful. Aesthetics mean nothing if the space is not practical and able to adapt to a client’s needs. At Cohesion Architects we prioritise functionality without compromising the integrity of what the space is created for. We pride ourselves on creating environments that promote versatility and productivity, while still looking impressive and doing justice to a client’s brand and identity.
3. Workspace Flow
At Cohesion Architects we work with your space to ensure it has what you need, where you need it. Do you require strategic zones for different operations? Do you want flexible workspace configurations that can be adjusted and moved? Whatever your need is, we can assist you with your planning to ensure your company runs smoothly and that productivity isn’t hindered.
4. Lighting Considerations
Lighting is not just about fixtures; it is also about the ambience it creates. Natural light cuts down on electricity bills and is also a mood booster, making it important to incorporate where possible. However, different lighting solutions create different dynamic environments and that comes into play too. We love the challenge of helping you reduce your electricity bill while still ensuring there is adequate lighting to boost energy levels or create a more soothing environment.
5. Sustainability
As a company we aim to minimise our environmental footprint on each project we undertake, so we are passionate about using sustainable materials that are environmentally friendly, energy efficient and ethically sourced where possible. We want to help you create a space that is innovative and built to last – without sacrificing quality or comfort. We are committed to creating spaces that meet needs but also contribute positively to the future of the planet.
6. Technology
What are your needs from this commercial space? At Cohesion Architects we understand that advancements in technology can enhance the user experience of a commercial space and, therefore, we can ensure they are seamlessly integrated into any design ideas. Whether you are looking to incorporate smart building systems, or air-conditioning throughout the space, we take all of that into consideration.
At Cohesion Architects we are passionate about creating exceptional commercial spaces that meet your needs as well as dazzle you and your clients. Workspace design plays a vital role in shaping the culture, productivity, and image of a company – which also impacts client perception and employee satisfaction. Investing in the creation of a well-designed workspace can yield significant benefits for both your company and your clients. Allow us to use our love for design and expertise to create a space that ticks all the boxes.
