“I find great pleasure working with people. In early design sessions, we discuss preferences and share experiences. We’ll talk about the flow and feel of space; form and function. Getting to understand each client procures the best design for them.”
Commercial Design
Designing for the business environment requires a sensitive understanding of each corporate client. David Baker Design balances form and function with corporate philosophy and branding.
Each commercial project introduces a unique set of requirements. We understand current codes and technologies, bringing crisp ingenuity to our projects. Our clients benefit from the depth of our experience, giving our projects an edge in competitive corporate identity. Not only do we create functional spaces for employees and their tasks, we set the scene for a memorable customer experience.
