Space Planning for Commercial and Residential Interiors

Space Planning for Commercial and Residential Interiors

An understanding of the use and allocation of space is a cornerstone in the many design disciplines that shape our built environment today. Knowledge of space planning and programming are essential tools in conceiving a successful project. Programming and space planning, once considered “pre-design” services by architects, have now taken their roles as an integral part of the entire design process; from conception of the project right through to the analysis of how the occupants use the new facility.

Our built environment is no longer shaped by the master architect as much as it is by collaborative teams of specialists working together and contributing their own expertise and experience. The increasing specialization of design disciplines has been a response to the increasing sophistication of our buildings, and the activities and people that inhabit them.
