Your business image is more important than you may realize.
Many people look at the surface to define good design; a building's colors, materials, composition, proportion, etc. But in fact, in architecture there are many more components of good design:
1. Purpose. Why is the building being built?
2. Ownership / Finance / Life Cycle. Who will own the building? Who is responsible for financing the construction? Who will be responsible for the maintenance of the site and building?
3. Structure / Building Components. What are the components of the building; structure, materials, technology?
4. Governing Agency Approvals. What agency requirements must be followed; zoning, building codes, department of health, fire department, federal, and local governing agencies?
Buildings are created through a collaboration of individuals, teams, and organizations. Good building design is completed by talented people who have a high degree of skill in organization, communication and management. The amount of work required to accomplish the design and construction of a building must not be underestimated or undervalued.
All societies recognize the importance of good design. Good design raises spirits and productivity. Good design is prudent in the use of natural materials, it is economical, functional, and ultimately beautiful. Good design defines individuals, businesses, and communities.
In a greater sense, the value of architecture in our environment defines our society. It reflects our values, ideals, and beliefs. When an architect designs a building, an appropriate solution will not only successfully address the 4 components listed above, it can also successfully represent the client’s values, image, and business ethic.
Today, clients often judge a business' success on its physical surroundings. Well-designed offices that project a polished, professional image help assure the client that their needs can be met.
