Every commercial office space needs a luxurious feature that stands out. From art on the walls to unusual finishes and fixtures, adding unique features can give your commercial building more value. It's easier to attract the best employees and high-end clients when your commercial office space is designed to embody quality and innovation. It's up to you to design a commercial property that impresses and inspires.
In this article, we'll talk about two renovation projects that make a splash in commercial spaces. These projects may inspire you to start your high-end commercial renovation. When you're ready, Litchfield Builders is ready to help. We provide free renovation resources to help with your project, and perform high quality renovations in commercial spaces.
Glass is unique in the world of building materials because it is both a barrier and a portal through which light can filter. Architects have been building glass structures for years, using glass as the outer walls of giant, elegant office buildings.
Today, glass is used in office interiors as well as exteriors to create light-filled spaces. Glass can be used as walls to create offices, conference rooms, and more.
Normal walls create barriers that can give your office building a feeling of claustrophobia. Glass walls, on the other hand, create a sense of transparency and openness. Just like drywall, glass blocks sound to allow for private conversations. Unlike drywall, glass prevents your indoor space from feeling tight and small.
Glass can be used to create walls and barriers of all kinds. Below are two ways that commercial businesses use glass to create enclosures in commercial spaces.
Imagine a conference room made entirely of glass, from the doors to the walls. Light filters through the walls, allowing people in the conference room to see out and those outside the conference room to see in. This kind of conference room is a focal piece, like an art installation. You can use this space to hold special meetings, trainings, and events to greet visitors.
Glass offices are chic. Like glass conference rooms, glass offices give workers some privacy (noise doesn't travel easily through glass walls) while also adding visual interest to your commercial space. For businesses that want to be known for their cutting-edge innovation, glass offices are a demonstration of that innovation.
The sky is the limit for your glass enclosure. Work with your architect to create a design you love. Here are some ideas to consider:
Glass rooms are an interesting feature to include in your commercial office space, but there are some challenges to consider before moving forward with your renovation.
Where can you take guests and clients when you're trying to impress them? Why not a coffee bar in your own commercial building? The coffee bar luxury lounge has become a feature in many corporate offices. Part break room and part conversation starter, coffee bar lounges are usually reserved for upper management. These spaces include a countertop with professional-grade espresso machines, high-top tables, and tall chairs - similar to an actual coffee bar.
These lounges are usually designed to be comfortable and exclusive. Before installing a coffee bar luxury lounge, consider the room's placement in your building, who will use the space, and how many people the space should accommodate at one time. Often, these rooms are exclusive, club-like spaces where upper management can bring guests and potential clients.
Getting started with a high-end commercial renovation starts with assembling the right team. Virtually all commercial renovations require an architect to be involved. You can either start by vetting architects, or by asking your preferred contractor which architect they would recommend for your project.
