What is commercial interior design?
Commercial interior design refers to the creation of workplaces: offices, laboratories, hotels, and shops.
Designers develop these spaces to be engaging and effective for employees and customers alike and to deliver business benefits such as greater innovation, faster problem-solving, a positive culture, and profitability. At INTERIOD, we do all three phases in-house, with one unified process and one source of billing – so there’s no need to work with multiple firms.
How does commercial interior design transform business outcomes?
There are a number of ways that commercial interior design positively impacts a business:
Business productivity
To be competitive, knowledge-led businesses need faster, better decision-making. And the right design for your workplace can play a big role here. It’s not as simple as creating an attractive workplace where people feel happy (although it helps). It can mean bringing teams out of silos, connecting networks, or shortening the gap between research and development and production. It depends on your goals: at Unispace we’ll always tailor your workplace to you and your industry.
Employee wellbeing
Good office design will affect your employees’ mental and physical wellbeing, which in turn impacts their performance and your company’s productivity and reputation. So we design healthier, more human workplaces. Getting your commercial interior design right can mean attractive amenities; comfort and ergonomics; the right spaces and technology for each person; and natural light and fresh air.
Productive and effective workplace design for the new 9-5
The future workplace is almost unrecognizable from 12 months ago. The 9-5 has been replaced with remote working, and flexible multi-purpose spaces. Designing for productive effective workplaces should consider:
- * The latest technology - from 3D printers and personalized lighting systems, to artificial intelligence and virtual reality.
- * Design for the agile and hybrid worker - empower staff to work where.
- * Modular furniture can make your office even more flexible. A conference room can double up as a private office with moveable partition walls.
- * Health and wellbeing - dedicated spaces for staff to power down in the office.
