Commercial Architecture

Offices, mixed-use and workplace buildings in Sri Lanka that work hard, read clearly and perform for business.

Commercial Architecture

Good commercial architecture has to do two jobs at once: perform for the business and read clearly to everyone who uses it. We design offices, workplaces and mixed-use buildings across Sri Lanka that balance brief, budget and identity, buildings that are efficient to run and give a business a distinct architectural presence.

We start with the numbers as well as the drawings. Feasibility and massing studies tell you what a plot can hold and what it will cost before you commit, and budget and program stay central as the design develops. Because we coordinate structure and building services in-house, the architecture, engineering and fit-out resolve together rather than fighting each other on site.

From concept and authority approval to tender and construction, you have one team accountable for how the building looks, how it’s built and how it opens on time.

What we cover

Capabilities

Office & workplace buildings

Headquarters, studios and offices planned around how teams actually work, move and meet.

Mixed-use developments

Buildings that combine retail, workspace and residential uses on a single, efficient footprint.

Build structures & shell design

Robust, buildable structures designed with cost, program and future flexibility in mind.

Fit-out & workplace interiors

Interior planning that turns a shell into a productive, on-brand place to work.

Feasibility & massing studies

Early studies that test what a plot can hold, what it will cost and what it can return.

Approval & tender documentation

Complete drawing sets for authority approval and for pricing the project competitively.

How we work

Our process

  1. 01

    Brief, budget & feasibility

    We test the site's potential against your commercial goals, program and budget before design begins.

  2. 02

    Concept & massing

    Options for form, layout and identity, balancing efficiency, experience and buildability.

  3. 03

    Design development & approvals

    Detailed design coordinated with engineers, plus the drawings required for statutory approval.

  4. 04

    Tender documentation

    Clear, complete documents so contractors can price accurately and fairly.

  5. 05

    Construction to occupancy

    Site support through construction and fit-out, right up to a building ready to open.

Frequently asked questions

  • What types of commercial buildings do you design?

    We work on offices, workplaces, mixed-use buildings, showrooms and light-commercial premises, both ground-up buildings and fit-outs of existing space.

  • Do you handle the structural and services design too?

    Yes, we coordinate structural, MEP and other engineering as part of the project so the architecture, structure and services all resolve together. See our Engineering & Structures service.

  • Can you help work out if a project is viable before we commit?

    Absolutely. A feasibility and massing study tests how much a plot can hold, what it's likely to cost and how it performs commercially, so you can make the decision with real information.

  • How do you keep a commercial project on budget?

    Budget and program drive the design from the start. We advise on cost as the design develops and prepare clear tender documents so pricing is competitive and comparable.

  • Do you provide drawings for local-authority approval?

    Yes. We prepare the full approval set and support submission to the relevant local council or Urban Development Authority.

  • Can you also design the interior fit-out?

    Yes, our interior design team can take the workplace from base building through to a finished, branded environment.
