commercial architecture

At Johnston Architecture Group, we recognize that every business has distinct needs, goals, and culture. Our diverse team combines years of experience with a deep understanding of commercial architecture to offer services in:

1. Commercial Office Architecture

• Spaces Designed for Productivity
  In today’s fast-paced business world, the modern office must accommodate diverse needs, from open-plan layouts fostering collaboration to quiet zones for focused work. We create environments that boost productivity and enhance employee well-being by integrating efficient layouts, ergonomic principles, and advanced design solutions. Our goal is to create office spaces that serve as dynamic, adaptable environments reflecting each company’s unique culture and work style.

2. Corporate Headquarters

• Building Your Brand from the Inside Out
  Your corporate headquarters is more than just a workplace—it’s a physical embodiment of your brand, values, and vision. We specialize in creating headquarters that reflect your company’s identity, inspire your workforce, and support your brand’s long-term growth. From initial conceptual designs to the finishing touches, we prioritize high-impact design that resonates with clients, employees, and stakeholders, creating a powerful brand statement.

3. Workplace Solutions

• Adapting to Evolving Workforce Needs
  As workplaces evolve, flexibility and adaptability are paramount. Our approach to workplace architecture is centered on creating spaces that can easily adjust to changing needs. We consider future growth, technological integration, and adaptable design elements to ensure that your space serves you well now and in the years to come. From small offices to expansive work environments, we design workplaces that are as dynamic as the businesses they support.

4. Build-to-Suit Projects

• Custom Solutions for Unique Needs
  Some projects require a highly tailored approach that only a build-to-suit model can provide. We work closely with developers and clients to craft custom solutions perfectly aligned with their specific requirements. Whether it’s a unique layout, special regulatory needs, or highly specific design elements, our build-to-suit projects are crafted to match the vision and functionality that clients expect.

5. Developer Services

  We partner with developers to deliver projects that are economically sound, aesthetically compelling, and functionally superior. With a deep understanding of the commercial real estate market in California, our firm provides developer services that consider both short- and long-term ROI. We take a comprehensive approach, factoring in market trends, property values, and sustainable design to create projects that attract tenants, investors, and clients alike.

6. Industrial Architecture

• Efficiency and Innovation for Industrial Spaces
  Industrial architecture requires a specialized approach to accommodate manufacturing, logistics, and large-scale operations. Our firm understands the importance of operational efficiency, safety, and adaptability in industrial spaces. We design facilities that meet the stringent requirements of industrial use while incorporating forward-thinking design elements that support growth, environmental responsibility, and streamlined functionality.

Our commitment to delivering exceptional spaces begins with a well-defined, client-centered process:

1. Discovery and Consultation
   We begin by understanding our client’s goals, needs, and vision. This foundational phase allows us to collaborate closely with clients, ensuring that we gather every essential detail, from operational requirements to aesthetic preferences.
2. Site Analysis and Feasibility
   A thorough analysis of the site is crucial to identify any environmental, logistical, or regulatory considerations that may impact the project. Our team conducts a detailed feasibility study to assess site capabilities and challenges, helping to avoid unforeseen issues later on.
3. Concept Development
   Our architects develop initial concepts that align with the client’s vision, functionality requirements, and budget. This stage is highly collaborative, allowing us to refine ideas and incorporate feedback to produce a clear direction for the project.
4. Design and Planning
   In this phase, our team translates concepts into detailed designs, with comprehensive architectural drawings, material selections, and technical specifications. We use cutting-edge tools to visualize the final product and optimize every detail to ensure it meets the highest standards of quality, efficiency, and sustainability.
5. Permitting and Compliance
   Navigating California’s complex regulatory landscape is one of our core strengths. Our team handles all permitting and compliance processes, ensuring that every project adheres to local, state, and federal regulations.
6. Project Execution and Management
   Our hands-on approach to project management ensures smooth and efficient project execution. We work with trusted contractors, manage timelines, and oversee each stage of construction to keep the project on track, on budget, and aligned with the original vision.
7. Post-Completion Support
   Our commitment doesn’t end when the project is complete. We offer post-completion support to address any adjustments or maintenance needs, ensuring our clients are fully satisfied with their new space.

We incorporate energy-efficient technologies, sustainable materials, and environmentally friendly design principles in all our projects.
