4 Reasons to Love Commercial Architecture and Interior Design
It should come as no surprise to learn that our team here at George Armour Ewart, Architect (GAEA), is full of architecture and design enthusiasts. Simply mention an historic building in passing or ask a question about architecture at a dinner party, and we’re ready to chime in!
With so much love for the field, we can’t help but share! Therefore, for your reading pleasure, here’s a round-up of our top four reasons to love commercial architecture and design…
#1 – Transforms Communities to Unite & Inspire
People and their communities are immensely influenced by both their natural and built environments. In commercial architecture and interior design, we’re privileged to shape those environments! Through our work, we support local businesses, organizations, and even entire neighborhoods by creating spaces that bring people together, foster collaboration, and inspire pride.
We design spaces for gathering, celebrating, resting, healing, playing, shopping, and more. Plus, we make those spaces welcoming, functional, and visually inspiring — ultimately creating lasting impact for communities!

#2 – Creates a Legacy to Remain Relevant
As architects and designers, our work thrives when it influences the future and honors the past. That’s because well-designed (and well-executed) commercial buildings stand the test of time.
When done right, these structures remain relevant and functional for decades. Sure, their use may change, and they may undergo renovations or additions for future needs. But, in the long-run, timeless designs and floor plans serve multiple generations and continue to influence communities for years to come.

#3 – Solves Unique Challenges with Innovation & Creativity
Another exciting aspect of commercial architecture and interior design? No two projects are exactly alike. Each one presents unique needs, goals, and challenges, so our work never becomes formulaic or stale. In fact, when we encounter complex needs and challenges, we’re ready to roll up our sleeves and get inventive.
From reimagining historic buildings to planning and designs for new builds, we enjoy getting to apply creative, problem-solving strategies to projects of all sizes and industries.

#4 – Brings Ideas & People Together Through Collaboration
This field is vast, as are many of the buildings we design. Details and logistics are numerous. And the quality of our work is extremely significant, not just from an aesthetic standpoint, but from functional and safety standpoints, too.
That’s why a collaborative approach is essential in architecture and interior design. We get the best results when we work with others we trust for their expertise, precision, and commitment. This means not only having a trusted team at our own firm, but also working closely with clients, builders, trade workers, and other partners to bring ambitious projects to life.
