Commercial

We are passionate about creating engaging commercial spaces and adaptive reuse projects. Immersive experiences make memories, and a well-designed commercial space that rings true to your brand and values can set the tone for business success.

No matter your project — polishing up your office, creating a fresh coworking space, opening a restaurant, or refining your retail location — our integrated design teams approach your project from all angles to help you stand out in a crowded marketplace. We celebrate the distinct needs of your business by actively listening to your functional, aesthetic, and operational concerns, all of which are critical in the making of a nimble commercial space.

We understand the gravity of the transformative role we play in the story of your business, and take your budget and timeline seriously. Whether it’s updating an existing location or building out an entirely new spot… whatever you’re envisioning, we’d love to help make your commercial project a reality.

Opening or updating a physical location for your business can be stressful. Let us help you take the guesswork out of the process with our team of passionate commercial designers. From “test fits” to mock up how potential spaces might work for you, to helping you refine your vision and execute a design that authentically represents your brand, we make it our mission to make each part of your project something special.

Time is money when you’re building out a commercial space, so we know efficiency is key. We’ve honed our process to help you navigate smoothly from design to doors-open. We approach commercial projects from an integrated services standpoint: most are best served with a multidisciplinary team. With architects, interior designers, and landscape architects in-house, we can craft a unique team able to provide the balance of services you need, titrated in a manner you might not be able to when hiring three separate firms.

From feasibility to visioning, through design, and onto permitting and construction — we’re here for you, how you need it. Wherever you’re starting from, we have the expertise to get you where you want to go.

Nothing is more important to a successful commercial design project than a collaborative rapport between the design team, the construction team, and you. We believe in open lines of communication, transparent project management, and building trust between everyone involved on a project.

No two projects are the same — from budget to location, from style to brand, to comfort with the process, and more — there is no static formula or one-size-fits-all solution. Our team invests in learning about your particular needs, then adapts to meet you where you need us with a customizable service package.

We’ll build a flexible team to provide the services you need as your project evolves, and share weekly updates so you are always in the know about project progress, upcoming milestones, and fee.

When you team up with Board & Vellum, you get the benefit of our integrated approach to design. With architecture, interior design, and landscape architecture in-house and on-hand, you’re at an advantage with three studios in one — the input, ideas, and shared knowledge of our entire team permeates all we do.

Curious and open-minded, we’re not afraid to ask hard questions to get the right answers for your project. And since we’re always on the hunt for creative collaborators, you can feel confident that every detail of your project is thoughtfully designed. We don’t deal in cookie-cutter solutions, and we iterate until your design is fully-baked.

Our business is making sure your business’ brick-and-mortar location is thoroughly considered from the inside out. So, whatever your commercial project needs, let’s jump in so you can get to “doors-open” with confidence.
