Three Things to Enhance Your Commercial Design
1. Eliminate Distractions
As the year of Covid-19 has just passed, there is an increasing need of spending time with family and friend in hospitality environment such as bar or restaurant. Unlike food or drink, the sound in the public area is barely taken care of; thus, the distractive loudly sound can interrupt the conversation. Nowadays, there are more and more bar or restaurant owners start taking out the television on the wall to remove the unnecessary sound around. Also, the owners are paying more attention in choosing the playlists that can improve the need of consuming more food of the customers. In regarding to construction design, the soundproof wall is popular among the current architectural plan for both residential and commercial projects.
2. Design Development from COVID
Another factor that contributes to the need of privacy for family meeting, it is health concern. Even though people are all vaccinated, the distancing order still impacts some of family who has an elders. For the safety, there are many plastic domes sold to protect the individual in the close distance.
Instead of using the plastic domes many restaurants implemented, consider using higher back seats that make the guest feel as if they are being hugged and in a space of their own. Use architectural pieces that allow for transparency but also offer a form of separation. Instead of building solid barriers, consider different materials to create see-through walls. Using these materials allow for separation from other groups but also allows everyone to feel a part of the overall experience of the restaurant.
3. Use Design to Excite the Senses
Experiential design is the use of art, texture, audio, video, and aroma to create a unique space. An experientially designed restaurant will engage a guests’ senses to create a unique experience they will not soon forget.
Biophilic design is a relatively new design technique that is an aspect of experiential design. Biophilic design involves using techniques that bring the outdoors inside the establishment. Implementing vegetation and florals in a restaurant design will make the guests feel like they are in a garden and not cooped up indoors. When using biophilic design it is important to use natural tones for tables, bar fronts and seating to replicate tones found in nature. Also consider using terrazzo, a composite material used in wall and floor treatments to tie in elements like stone and wood.
Work with the interior designer when creating your menu. Tie in the aesthetic of the restaurant with the food and drinks you are serving. If your restaurant has a garden theme, consider creating aroma infused drinks that have a heavy floral influence. For darker toned restaurants, like steakhouses that have robust and darker themes, consider creating special drinks with smoke and maple influences. Tying in the menu with the overall design will create an immersive experience that guests will remember.
