Commercial and Hospitality Design: Shaping Public Spaces
We highlight designs that redefine the experience of public space, from intimate cafes to innovative showrooms, focusing on how architecture drives atmosphere and interaction.
This experiential showroom in Mumbai by ACKM Studio uses curved, flowing walls and minimalist shelving to create a space that feels like a contemporary art gallery.

'Cafe Wink' in New Delhi by Studio Dangg reinterprets a classic Italian trattoria with soft arches, vaulted ceilings, and a warm, inviting atmosphere.
The long view of the cafe shows the rhythmic repetition of arches and the cozy banquette seating that runs along one wall.

About Commercial & Hospitality Design
The commercial projects featured here, from Terns in Coimbatore to the ACKM showroom in Mumbai, demonstrate how architects manipulate light and material to guide visitor flow. It is not just about aesthetics, but how the geometry of a space, the curve of a wall, or the placement of seating defines the commercial success and atmosphere of an establishment.
Designing for commerce requires a delicate balance between brand identity and user experience. Whether it is a high-energy restobar or a minimalist retail showroom, the architectural approach must invite interaction. In this collection, we explore how designers use fluid volumes to create environments that feel welcoming yet distinct. For example, the use of soft arches and vaulted ceilings at Cafe Wink provides an Italian-inspired warmth that contrasts sharply with the bold, sculptural forms found in ACKM Studio’s experiential showroom.
These projects highlight the importance of material selection, from glossy tiles to reflective water features, in shaping a visitor's journey. Our platform focuses on the spatial narrative of these public works, ensuring the design intent behind every commercial project reaches a wider audience. If you are an architect or studio looking to share your commercial work, we provide a streamlined editorial process to get your project published. We credit the entire team, from lighting designers to material vendors, ensuring that every contribution to these complex public spaces is recognized by our community of 96,000+ professionals.
