Greener, Better commercial environments
At GB-A, we understand how much our physical environment influences happiness, productivity, and wellbeing at work. That’s why we’re committed to designing commercial spaces that are not only efficient and effective but also bring brands to life.
By taking a holistic and integrated approach to architecture, landscape, and interior design, we create commercial environments that seamlessly connect branding from the inside out. With over 35 years of experience across 20+ industries, we’ve delivered impactful designs for office buildings, retail spaces, market terraces, and more – valued up to $110 million.
Every commercial project we undertake is guided by the following principles:
Impactful Branding & Placemaking
We design spaces that make a strong first impression, attract customers, and foster community engagement. By integrating branding and placemaking, we create a seamless flow from the outside in, ensuring a cohesive and memorable experience.
Clever Planning for Operational Continuity
For commercial environments that must remain operational during renovations or extensions, we conduct meticulous planning to minimise disruption. Our team is highly experienced in refurbishments and adept at managing the complexities of working within active facilities.
Flexibility & Scalability
We challenge traditional layouts to design adaptable spaces that grow with businesses and accommodate changing needs. This ensures maximum efficiency and minimal disruption, even as industries or tenancies evolve.
Sustainable Design Initiatives
To reduce operational costs and environmental impact, we incorporate sustainable measures such as natural light, ventilation, and energy-efficient building systems. Our Green Star-accredited professionals provide cutting-edge insights into sustainable outfitting and design.
Durable & Smart Material Choices
We carefully select hardwearing, low-maintenance materials and finishes, considering the full lifecycle costs of each project. This ensures long-term durability and cost efficiency.
Inclusive & Accessible Design
Committed to inclusivity, we design spaces that comply with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA), ensuring accessibility for all staff, customers, and community members.
Designing for Wellbeing
We prioritise biophilic and salutogenic design principles. This includes natural lighting, ventilation, noise reduction, ergonomic layouts, and healthy material selection.
Collaborative & Efficient Delivery
Our team works closely with all disciplines, stakeholders, and occupants to overcome challenges, make fast decisions, and deliver projects on time and within budget.
An integrated approach to commercial design
At GB-A, we believe that great commercial spaces are the result of seamless collaboration between architecture, interiors, and landscape design. Our integrated approach ensures that every element of a project works together to create a cohesive, functional, and visually striking environment.
From branded interiors to sustainable landscapes, we design spaces that reflect your brand identity, enhance productivity, and promote wellbeing. By uniting all design disciplines, we deliver commercial environments that are as efficient as they are inspiring.
