A vital institution - ensure your building stands out

While we may wish to think that tech innovations such as online landing pages and aggregate review sites take some of the imposing presence away from businesses and the buildings they use, impressive design will always stand the test of time. This means that when curating a building’s architecture for your corporate purposes, ensuring that it stands out is essential.

This might relate to the front of an inner city hotel inviting weary guests in from the nearby train station, or a newly developed restaurant using its period housing as a unique selling point - to come across as a vital institution, you have to regard yourself as one.

Thankfully, this means you have the chance to exercise your best taste and show the world how you define yourself through some real, creative applications. These are the kinds of decisions that help populate Instagram pages far and wide, that contribute to the good name of your brand, and that allows an experience to speak for itself. With the following advice, your building should command the pure respect it deserves:

Beautiful signage

The signage may not be the first observed marker of your building, but you can be sure that it counts in transmitting the entire theming and ethos of your brand. This is where architectural signs with a depth of quality, potential application and resounding institutional strengths can be important to invest in.

Not only will this help you proudly stand your business as part of the surrounding environment, but it could do so unapologetically, with an eye for great design. This can help you start transmitting your business image before you even utter a word.

A welcoming area

A welcoming area can be worthwhile to invest in. No matter if that’s a surrounding entrance garden or an impressive foyer, the beauty of an open and spacious habitat can be felt for years to come, and may allow guests new and experienced to marvel in the scope of your building.

Large-scale panelled glass, for example, may help you gain a beautiful view of your welcoming area as well as letting in tremendous natural light. When applying design of this nature to your building, you’ll be making a statement that will always be hard to ignore.

Condition and upkeep

The upkeep of your building is essential to figure out. From ensuring that the moss doesn’t grow or interfere with your signage, to ensuring that painting is correctly carried out with a limited number of streak marks, to the simple investment in routine window cleaning, the upkeep of your building says a lot about you.

The last thing you should hope for is for your building to be described as an ‘eyesore’. Think about how modern design methods may interfere with the natural upkeep of your building, or how renovative efforts may prevent damage from being seen or noticed first and foremost.

With this advice, we hope you can ensure your building stand’s out, no matter what.
