Introducing the unique features of the commercial building, as depicted in the final renders.
Designing a commercial building in Bangalore is different from developing a residence. One of the most critical aspects is satisfying the services for the building. Our designers carefully incorporated the necessary services to complete the design phase. The clients were already engaged with us to design their residence in J P Nagar. They also wanted our designers to create a space for retail and other commercial spaces.
Project Fact File:
Site dimensions: 60’ x 90’ plot
Built-up area: 18,000 sq. ft.
Site orientation: West-facing plot
Site advantage: Corner plot
Client’s Vision for a commercial building elevation design
Our approach began with understanding the functional requirements of a commercial space while giving equal weight to the user experience, flexibility, and future scalability. The final concept embraces minimalism and sophistication, echoing the client’s aspiration for a clean yet commanding commercial structure.
Our design process was guided by Mr. Raghuveer’s vision of a versatile commercial building that harmoniously blends into the city’s modern skyline while maintaining a bold and elegant identity. A critical part of the plan was ensuring the commercial building elevation design reflects this balance between presence and simplicity.
Site Zoning & Design Strategy
Our zoning and planning strategies for the commercial building in Bangalore are meticulously designed to maximise usability while strictly adhering to municipal bylaws and Vastu considerations.
We must include a basement with a ramp, DG room, electric room, circulation lobby, and a shaft for all commercial buildings.
Basement Level: Dedicated to parking and service utilities, ensuring that vehicular movement does not interfere with pedestrian zones.
Ground Floor: Offers flexible layouts for high-visibility retail units. We provide two alternate plans for the client.
Typical Floors (1st to 4th): Optimised for office and corporate use, featuring open-plan layouts allowing modular workspace configurations.
Terrace Level: Equipped with service zones and provision for solar panels or future rooftop amenities.
In addition to spatial planning, we aligned all levels with a coherent commercial building elevation design strategy that enhances both function and aesthetics.
Let us explore the space visualizations that we developed for each floor in the commercial building elevation design in Bangalore. This exercise helps the clients understand how the place will look after construction. However, the client wanted to see empty spaces to understand each floor’s length and breadth.

We visualised workspaces, office areas, and lab spaces on the upper floors according to the client’s preferences.
Final elevation concept renders
The terrace floor is dedicated to relaxing spaces for people who use this commercial building elevation design. It includes semi-open areas, dining spaces and a terrace garden. In the future, this open terrace can be converted into a solar panel area to supply power to the building.
Elevation Exploration
For any commercial space, the first impression should be impressive. Large vertical and horizontal glazing panels dominate the commercial building elevation design, inviting natural light and giving the building a sense of openness and modernity. The mix of aluminium composite panels (ACP), coloured clear glass, and textured concrete finish provides a dynamic interplay of material and colour.
As a corner plot, it features a vertical strip of curtain glazing framed with crisp white outlines, visually anchoring the structure and giving it a sense of verticality and grandeur. This distinctive feature plays a key role in elevating the overall commercial building elevation design and establishing a memorable street presence.
We also aimed to increase daylight through strategic glazing, reducing dependence on artificial lighting. Shading elements and sun control on the facade minimise solar heat gain, improving thermal comfort. Provision for solar installations on the terrace ensures readiness for renewable energy integration. Rainwater harvesting and efficient drainage systems have been factored into the infrastructure design during the planning stage, aligned with the overall commercial building elevation design goals.
Material Palette
Glass: Used predominantly for its transparency and light-reflective qualities, contributing to a sleek, contemporary finish.
Concrete Cladding Panels: Introduced for structural expression and thermal performance.
Metal Frames & Railings: Offer robustness and low maintenance, essential for high-traffic commercial zones.
Landscaping at Entry Level: Enhances the pedestrian experience, creating a visual break from the hardscape.
ACP Panel: A lightweight material that is durable and gives an aesthetic appeal
Final elevation renders for the commercial building elevation design have been completed.
The rendered images of the project showcase how 3D visualisation translates into real-world spatial quality. The human scale is thoughtfully incorporated, such as the cyclist in the foreground and vehicles at the entrance, to indicate proportion and access into the building.
The building exudes stability and modernity, whether viewed head-on or from the corner angle. The uniform window grid, balanced setbacks, and accentuated corner glazing all contribute to a unified architectural language that is purposeful and aesthetically pleasing.
