Architecture

Commercial Spaces

The role of a commercial architect is similar to the role of a residential architect but expanded into a much more complex process and larger scale. When working on commercial projects, the role of the architect is broadened to accommodate more considerations that aren't always primary in a residential build. Commercial builds include making sound design plans for a wide array of types of commercial buildings, including office spaces, factories and breweries, hospitals, hotels, retail spaces, and even sports and music venues. When designing a residence, an architect can formulate their design based on the needs and specifications of a very specific group of people. In the commercial realm, a much more diverse population needs to be considered, making it all the more important that developers do their due diligence in hiring an expert, knowledgeable team to handle architectural concerns.
