Designing commercial spaces is like walking a tightrope—a carefully executed balancing act between innovative style and must-have function. An office that appears formal yet collaborative, a surgical facility that achieves both medical and aesthetic excellence and even legal offices that double as (wait for it) a chapel. This year’s five winning designs prove that style, comfort and individuality are just as important in the commercial design world as they are in residential. For the 2022 Commercial Design Awards, we recruited two Atlanta-based designers and members of the American Society of Interior Designers to judge our entries based on a form carefully curated for each category. From plastic surgery to the performing arts, these wide-ranging projects show us that 2022 is a year to get out, get involved and get back to work.
