BAE Architecture +Design is a Los Angeles–based architectural firm with commercial architects delivering high-performance workplaces across Southern California. From precision tenant improvements to ground-up office buildings, our team provides end-to-end commercial architecture services that translate business goals into inspiring, efficient, and code-compliant environments. If you’re seeking a commercial architect who blends strategy, design excellence, and reliable execution, you’re in the right place.
Southern California is a uniquely complex environment for development—tight sites, seismic and life‑safety standards, energy codes, and fast‑moving markets. As experienced commercial architects, we orchestrate the entire process so you can focus on running your business. We coordinate agencies and consultants, anticipate entitlement and permitting pathways, and structure decisions around schedule, cost, and risk from day one.
Our commercial architecture services are built to support the full lifecycle of your project:
Site and building assessments, test fits, code and zoning analysis, entitlements strategy, and preliminary budgets/schedules.
Program development, adjacency mapping, headcount modeling, and flexible growth scenarios for evolving teams.
Concept through design development, brand integration, way finding, and material/finish curation aligned with lifecycle cost.
Coordinated Revit models, permit sets, and detailed specifications to reduce RFIs and change orders.
Seamless integration with structural, MEP, IT/AV, security, and sustainability consultants.
Streamlined submittals and plan check management across jurisdictions in Greater Los Angeles and Southern California.
Bidding support, shop-drawing reviews, site observations, punch lists, and closeout.
Move-in support, facilities standards, and data-driven enhancements to boost performance overtime.
Our team partners with owners, developers, and corporate tenants to plan, design, and deliver spaces that work as hard as your business does.
TI projects demand precision and speed. We tailor commercial architectural design to your operational reality—phasing around business continuity, aligning with landlord criteria, and coordinating MEP upgrades for comfort and efficiency. From executive suites and open collaboration zones to specialty rooms (boardrooms, wellness, training, broadcast/AV, server and MDF/IDF), we design for acoustics, ergonomics, and technology. Our TI approach minimizes downtime, maximizes flexibility, and delivers a workplace that attracts talent and supports hybrid work.
For owners and developers pursuing new construction, our ground‑up team brings market‑aware creativity and technical rigor. We shape massing and circulation to optimize rentable area, daylight, and vertical core efficiency, while meeting parking, loading, and setback requirements. Facade strategies balance aesthetics, performance, and constructability; structural systems are selected for resilience and speed; and building systems target low energy intensity and future adaptability. The result is a durable asset that leases faster and operates smarter.
While office is our core focus, our commercial architect team also supports:
• Creative and adaptive‑reuse offices in former industrial and retail shells
• Medical and wellness suites with specialized compliance needs
• Retail and ground‑floor tenant spaces supporting mixed‑use developments
• R&D and light production spaces requiring enhanced utilities and infrastructure
Complex commercial projects demand clear coordination. We lead multidisciplinary teams—structural, MEP, civil, landscape, lighting, acoustics, AV/IT, signage, and sustainability—within a shared BIM environment that reduces clashes and downstream cost. Whether design‑bid‑build or design‑build, our process produces clean details, transparent schedules, and fast issue resolution so contractors can price accurately and build efficiently.
We deliver commercial architecture services that meet today’s performance standards. Our projects pursue Title 24/CAL Green compliance by design, and we integrate strategies aligned with LEED and WELL principles—daylight, air quality, low‑emitting materials, and occupant comfort. Accessibility, egress, and life‑safety are resolved early, and we incorporate resilient design for seismic performance and operational continuity.
