Commercial property interiors are now focusing on the trends of clean, crisp, and uniform design. It is likely to see sleek lines and geometric patterns. Architecture can greatly determine how the interior design flows in a retail store, office, lobbies, restaurant, or other commercial spaces. Let’s look at some trends and elements of modern architectural designs for commercial buildings today.
A Mix of Shapes in Commercial Property Designs
Commercial architecture is now infused with straight and clean lines, open spaces, and perspective-bending shapes that reflect the natural world. Once all about function, modern architecture is taking on a more organic feel.
Playing with expectations to cause a second look with unexpected shapes that complement each other is all about mixing traditional elements, such as architectural straight metal beams, with circular arches or windows.
Commercial Property with Open Interior
Wide-open spaces and feng-shui have become increasingly important in Western design. More commercial spaces are looking for ways to break free from the past’s cubicle and monochromatic structures. Modern interior architecture is about seamlessly blending separate and open spaces. This is frequently achieved using precisely placed glass partition walls and the incorporation of a degree of adaptability into interior design. Instead of creating interior spaces that are permanently fixed, modern interior architecture focuses on creating interiors that can quickly transform to meet changing needs.

Brightening Your Commercial Space
Architectural designers have begun to design with natural light in mind since it has become a staple of modern office buildings. Adding large windows to traditional buildings isn’t as straightforward as it sounds. You need to incorporate open concept walls and consider how natural light will impact the commercial building thoughtfully. Engineering is involved in making the window a part of the building instead of being a separate part.
Outside-the-box Building Materials
As more people are moving toward sustainability, architecture also uses unconventional materials, which tend to be eco-friendly alternatives to traditional materials.
Bamboo, cork, reclaimed wood, and ferrock are all examples of the types of materials that you can use to make your business remodel project eco-friendly. Installing low-flow fixtures and green roofing can help as well. The range of options available to business owners can be overwhelming. At Robert Hakes Construction, we help business owners choose the most sensible environmentally friendly materials and products for their business.

Fluidity of Exterior and Interior Branding
It was not uncommon in the past to see a street lined with commercial buildings that all looked the same. There was no indication of the business inside, nor was there anything distinguishing the architecture or design. Everything is changing.
Today’s commercial property designs appear to be seamlessly blending the exterior and interior spaces. They are emphasizing the branding and the business on the inside. Simple elements such as outdoor decorative panels can sometimes be used to tie everything together. Other times, it’s matching the color story, materials, and motif so that the building has a 360-degree level of design fluidity.
Branding, The Staple of Standing Out
Digital signage technology is now widely used in architecture. Digital signage has become an essential component of overall building design. Commercial buildings can update their branding in real time thanks to digital signage, bringing an unprecedented level of modernity and technology to their exterior design.
Digital signage is a simple design element that adds elegance and modernization to a commercial property. Skilled architects can incorporate digital signage as part of the overall design rather than as an afterthought, and the results are truly astounding.
Innovation of Today’s World
We are living in an era of rapid innovation. The world is changing at a rapid speed, from technology to healthcare. We are living in an unprecedented historical era in which commercial architects are being asked to innovate, imagine, and rethink what is normal.
Nothing is off-limits when it comes to adding pops of color, mixing materials, and creating buildings with unusual shapes. The most significant challenge for architects is capitalizing on this momentum while remaining constrained by budget, material, and time constraints.
Many commercial architects, however, are demonstrating that it is possible to reinvent the wheel and create modern art through commercial buildings. Commercial architecture is demonstrating that the future is now.
