At Mackenzie Collier Interiors, we understand the significance of a well-designed commercial space that nurtures creativity, productivity and success.

A great workspace should seamlessly blend functionality, aesthetics and innovation.

1. Form Meets Function:

An inspiring workspace is one where form and function harmoniously coexist. Our designers carefully assess your business requirements, ensuring that every element in the office serves a purpose while maintaining a stylish and cohesive aesthetic. Your space should seamlessly support your work day.

By creating multiple lounge spaces for employees to change their scenery during the work day, this space embodies the concept of “resimercial design” in this Scottsdale office space.

2. Incorporating Agile Spaces:

Modern professionals thrive in dynamic environments that adapt to their ever-changing needs. We create agile workspaces that facilitate collaboration, brainstorming, and individual focus, empowering your team to excel in a versatile and adaptive atmosphere.

In the digital era, technology plays a vital role in business operations. Our designs seamlessly incorporate state-of-the-art technology, interactive displays, and smart solutions that enhance connectivity and efficiency in your workspace. We’ll collaborate with experts who can keep your space at the cutting edge of technology.

4. Ergonomics for Well-Being:

Prioritizing the well-being of your employees is crucial for a successful business. Our commercial interior design solutions include ergonomic furniture and layouts that promote comfort, reduce strain, and foster a healthy work environment. A well-designed space will reduce employee sick days and turnover.

5. Personalized Branding and Identity:

Your workspace is an extension of your brand and identity. We infuse your brand colors, logo, and values into the design, creating a cohesive and immersive experience for your employees and clients alike. A well-branded workspace will help you embrace your culture and feel like an integral part of the team.

The new concept of “resimercial design” works really well throughout this space marrying the coziness of residential design with the functionality of commercial design. We created a southwest modern vibe.

6. Elevating Reception Areas:

First impressions matter, and your reception area sets the tone for your business. Our designs create striking reception spaces that exude professionalism, leaving a lasting impression on visitors and clients. Whether you’re trying to attract the highest caliber of employees or impress the most discerning clientele, the quality and attention to detail in your reception area design will create a lasting impression on everyone who enters. 

Bold hues balanced with natural textures create a space that is conducive for work while also evoking a feeling of being at home. We created a southwest modern vibe for this Old Town Scottsdale commercial interior design project.

7. Nurturing Collaborative Zones:

Collaboration fuels innovation, and we ensure that your workspace includes inviting collaborative zones that foster idea-sharing and teamwork, promoting a culture of creativity and growth. 

Mixing a southwest vibe with some modern elements, this casual breakout area creates a more intimate space through the use of rugs, pillows, foliage, warm woods and lighting for a true residential aesthetic.

8. Green Spaces for Wellness:

Natural elements contribute to a sense of well-being in the workspace. Our designs embrace biophilic elements, such as indoor plants and natural light, to promote a sense of tranquility and enhance employee morale.

9. Optimizing Storage and Organization:

A clutter-free and organized workspace enhances productivity and efficiency. We incorporate intelligent storage solutions that keep the office tidy and functional, optimizing space for seamless operations. Organization needs to be addressed from the very beginning of the design process in order to be truly effective, and we’ll do just that.

10. Aspirational Design: 

If you want to inspire your employees to embrace leadership and strive for promotions, it’s wise to include a tiered level of access to increasingly impressively designed spaces. Traditionally, there was a “corner office” that employees could strive to get promoted to, but as businesses have moved to a more open concept, this approach needs to be reconsidered. At MCI, we can help you map out your desired trajectory for your team and design exclusive spaces (i.e. executive lounges, leadership breakout areas, etc)  that will inspire them to move to the next level. 

At Mackenzie Collier Interiors, we believe that an inspiring workspace is the foundation of a successful business. Through commercial interior design that prioritizes functionality, aesthetics, and innovation, we create environments that empower high-achieving professionals and nurture their growing businesses. Let our expertise in creating inspiring workspaces transform your commercial environment into a space that inspires creativity, productivity, and success. Elevate your business to new heights with our commercial interior design solutions tailored to meet the unique needs of modern professionals.
