OFFICES, RETAIL, RESTAURANTS & WORKPLACES
Commercial Architects
We're commercial architects. We design offices, shops, restaurants and bars, workplaces and mixed-use buildings, mostly around Sussex and Cornwall. A commercial project is a big bet, so we keep one eye on the brand and the experience and the other firmly on the planning, the budget and the programme. We'll take it from feasibility and the planning application through to a finished building that earns its keep, and that people actually want to spend time in.
WORKPLACE, RETAIL & MIXED-USE DESIGN
We've worked with the same developers, business owners and contractors for years, and we're as comfortable on a single shop fit-out as on a multi-unit scheme. Good commercial design is good business too: a plan that works, materials that last, and a building that flexes as a company grows. We bring the same thinking we use on our residential houses, so a commercial building performs, holds its value and lifts the street it sits on.
Every ALTER commercial project begins with experience and listening. We interrogate how a business operates, how customers and staff move through a space, and how the building can flex over time. That rigour, combined with our architecture and interior design services, produces commercial environments that are efficient, sustainable and genuinely enjoyable to occupy.
Working with ALTER is an invitation to a collaborative journey. If you are planning a commercial development, fit-out or refurbishment, talk to our Brighton and Truro studios about bringing it to life.
