It is the entire process of conceptualizing and then constructing or renovating a commercial space, involving everything in-between- from layout planning to choice of building materials, from laying down sanitation system to putting the power system in place. Commercial design calls for a very specific and advanced set of skills, comprising mainly of exceptional teamwork and coordination. For successful commercial design, it is crucial for the interior designer to have a concrete practical knowledge and experience in the field of architecture, in addition to being extremely creative. Only then is it possible to create and bring to life a truly functional and beautiful commercial space.
Residential
The most fundamental concerns of residential design are functionality and safety, to be achieved within the constraints of the client’s budget. As with interior designing generally, good residential design requires the designer to have a thorough understanding of the client’s need. Nothing can substitute this pivotal element. In this sense, good residential designers will communicate with the client effectively, in order to get a clear picture of their needs and wants regarding the design. The clients usually have clear and specific ideas in mind, and it is the residential designer’s responsibility to transform these ideas into reality. Another crucial responsibility of the designer is to guide the client in terms of regulations, structural limitations, and the relevant laws.
