Commercial building aesthetics describe the overall look of a building, both inside and out. It is important to note if it conforms to what a consumer would expect to see as the representation of a business. Aesthetics deal with the appeal of a building towards the average user. In the case of a commercial buildings, the visual appeal can dramatically impact a business’ bottom line.

Some companies thrive on standing out from their surroundings. However, these may be the exception. For commercial success, a business’ building should look like a place of commerce. This makes it much easier when clients are attempting to locate the structure in a city filled with other buildings. Being able to identify a building as commercial can sometimes mean the difference between winning and losing a client.

Adding To A Building’s Aesthetics

A building’s aesthetics can attract the right customers and even promote the stability and reliability of a business. That’s why the following design elements are an important part of a commercial building’s aesthetic appeal:

• Color – Colors have long been associated with emotions in humans. Having a building the right color can evoke an unconscious emotional reaction within a passerby. It may just prompt a client to walk into the building.
• Facade – The exterior of the building can project a certain business mindset to the customer and is probably the single most important aesthetic aspect of the building. Does your building appeal to the demographic you are attempting to reach?
• Logo – The symbol of a business helps to make it recognizable to the general public. Logo placement is essential to attracting customers who need some help pinpointing a building’s location.
• Landscaping – Architects can leverage the exterior area to add to the draw and overall impressions of a building. More plants and trees will project a more environmentally friendly outlook to potential clients.
• Interior & Exterior Layout – A well-designed building shows a dedication to presenting balance both inside and outside the building. Layouts should add to and develop a theme for best results. Be sure the design is current. A dated aesthetic sends the message that your company is out of touch and may not be able to deliver for a progressive clientele.
• Visuals – In a building, especially one dedicated to a professional enterprise, the easiest thing to do is to lose a potential client through complexity. Keeping signs and other visual cues simple makes a client feel more comfortable and more likely to do business with that company.
