COMMERCIAL DESIGN TRENDS
Flexibility has become the key word in the workplace – both as a business process and in the physical design of our
work environments. In this issue of Commercial Design Trends, we look at examples of how architects and interior
designers are interpreting the call for flexibility, from a commercial building which has built-in allowance for tenants to
change their space requirements, to premises that break down the traditional compartmentalisation of space.
We also showcase three substantial projects, each of which makes a significant contribution to its surrounding
environment, while our Market Report proposes that developers and investors need a new set of tools if they are to
accurately assess the Return on Investment for intelligent buildings.
All Commercial Design Trends content – and much, much more – can also be accessed online at trendsideas.com
