The site gives me roughly 1,500 sq ft to work with and I need an architect to transform that footprint into a modern, multi-storey commercial building that blends offices above with retail at street level. The brief is firmly mixed-use, so circulation, services, and façade articulation must allow the two functions to operate smoothly without compromising either tenant type. My priorities • A clean, contemporary aesthetic that stands out without clashing with neighbouring structures. • Efficient layouts for flexible office suites on the upper floors. • Ground-floor and possibly mezzanine retail bays that invite foot traffic and maximise display frontage. • Thoughtful core placement, vertical access, and daylighting so the compact footprint never feels cramped. Deliverables I will review – Initial massing concepts with two or three layout options. – Finalised floor plans, sections, and elevations in CAD (DWG or similar). – 3D exterior renderings that communicate material palette and façade rhythm. – A concise design report explaining structural grid assumptions and basic MEP allowances, suitable for handing over to engineers. I’m happy to collaborate in BIM if that’s your workflow, but high-quality CAD drawings and renders are the essential hand-off. Local code knowledge is a plus; if you’re working remotely, indicate the information you’ll need from me to meet regulations. Please share examples of previous modern commercial or mixed-use work when you respond, and outline your projected timeline from concept to final package.
