Design and Development Tips for Constructing Commercial Properties

21 February 2020

Constructing commercial properties are booming nowadays and the struggle that comes with it – is on how to design and develop an exterior like no other. It is extremely important for commercial property owners to impress their clients in order to stand out from the highly-competitive industry. Luckily, below are design and development tips for constructing commercial properties.

Create an Entrance that Entices Your Clients

If you want to get your clients through the doors of your commercial property, you need to make a lasting impression by creating a front entrance that leaves them wanting more. You might choose contrasting colours, the colours of your brand or you can opt to add effective lighting and seating that puts your clients at ease. Soft comforts such as plants and rugs can really create a warm and welcoming effect.

Use the Right External Materials

Regardless of whether you are in a new or old commercial property, the materials you choose to use on the exterior of the property can really make a difference. Are you looking for something that is aesthetically striking or modern or do you want something that fits in with the surrounding?

Make Use of the Right Windows

The windows you opt to install in your commercial property have to be durable but they also have to look good. Small windows won’t let enough light into your property but they also won’t look great and so, you want something that fits in with the design of your property but also ensure that they create an impact. Of course, there are many different designs available so choose windows that are functional, durable and finish off the look of your property.

Create the Right Lighting

There is no denying that light is crucial in any workplace but to get it right you will need to use the correct lighting to create a certain look within the interior of your property. You might require more lighting in some areas than others and you might also require specific types of lighting. Consider your options and determine what kind of illumination you require.

Create Flow within Your Property

You don’t want the different areas within your property to feel or look as though they are separated. This is not an easy task but creating that flow can include the use of different materials depending on the sections while the correct lighting will help sections flow into each other.

Bring Colours Together

The colours you choose to use on the office exterior could come down to personal preference or you might want them to reflect the image of your brand. So, you can either choose bold colours or simple colours. If you want to play it safe and avoid contrasting colours, you could choose two colours but in different shades in order to create an element of contrast. If you want to the entrance to stand out then you could opt to use a different colour completely.

Landscape the Exterior

If there are areas around the property that can be adapted to include plants, shrubs or trees then you can really make your property stand out while making it look more inviting. Landscaping the property in this way does take planning but it really can transform the outlook of your property and the way in which it is perceived. Remember that plants, trees and grass can take time to become established, so you will need to wait before it matures.
