At Layrd Design, we believe commercial interior design shouldn't just be about aesthetics; it's about creating spaces that work for the present and thrive in the future. This means making educated decisions that minimise the need for any interior changes while maximizing the space's positive impact on both your business and the planet.
Here's how we approach future-proofing our designs:
Design Expertise: Making Strategic and Informed Decisions
The key to a future-proof space lies in upfront planning. We take the time to understand your company's story, vision and growth trajectory. Our interior designers possess informed and specialist knowledge, which they continuously update by attending industry shows, exhibitions, and webinars. By anticipating your needs, we design a space that adapts to your evolving users, work styles, and technological advancements. This proactive approach saves you the hassle of major renovations down the line.
Sustainable Solutions: Designing with the Planet in Mind
At Layrd Design, we're conscious of future-proofing for our clients and the environment. We incorporate durable, long-lasting materials that reduce the need for replacements and source sustainable options whenever possible. We aim to specify materials with a low environmental impact, considering factors like recycled content, responsible end-of-life practices, and minimal waste generation. By incorporating these elements, we help you create a functional space that's also kind to the planet.
Creating Flexible Spaces: Adapting to Your Changing Landscape
The key to a future-proof commercial space is its ability to adapt. Gone are the days of static, single-purpose interiors. At Layrd Design, we create spaces that can transform alongside your business goals. We incorporate modular furniture and fixtures that can be easily rearranged to create different layouts and accommodate changing space requirements. Think movable partitions, modular seating arrangements and connectable storage units. Our designs also prioritise multi-functional areas that can serve multiple purposes. Consider a leisure facility with hospitality and retail sections or a cafe with private workstations and social coworking spaces.
Designing for the User: Prioritising Well-being in Every Space
The success of any commercial space is determined by how it impacts the people who occupy it. At Layrd Design, we believe that prioritising user well-being is a key element in future-proofing your space. This translates to creating environments that foster a sense of comfort, reduce stress, and promote overall health – factors that will remain relevant and attractive to users for years to come. Ergonomics is not just for workspaces. We consider the comfort of users in every commercial setting. This could involve incorporating comfortable seating in waiting areas, strategically placed handrails for improved accessibility, or even designated relaxation zones in fitness facilities. Including biophilic design principles and soundproofing materials such as acoustic panelling can also improve productivity and create a calming environment.
Anticipating Change: Technology Integration for Commercial Spaces
Technology should be a fundamental element considered for commercial interiors as it impacts how businesses operate. We understand the significant effect that high-quality audio and video installations can have on a space. Seamless technology installation is also achieved through strategically placed power outlets, data ports, and cabling throughout the space to accommodate future technological needs. Technology integration should enhance the user experience, not complicate it. We consider how users will interact with technology within the space and design accordingly.
