Commercial interior design, built to perform.

KEMPA Design works across office environments, restaurants, cafés, retail spaces, wellness concepts, showrooms, and other customer-facing commercial spaces.

Commercial design goes beyond making a space look good, it’s about understanding how a business actually operates and designing an environment that supports workflow, staff efficiency, customer experience, and the brand identity behind it.

Our approach

01 The business comes first

Every layout decision starts from understanding how the business operates, the day-to-day workflow, the customer journey, staffing, privacy needs, and operational flow.

02 Brand into space

A commercial interior is one of the strongest expressions of brand identity. We translate the brand into materials, lighting, atmosphere, and detail.

03 Practical, efficient, brand-aligned

Spaces designed to be visually compelling and functional in real-world use and built to perform commercially over the long arc of a lease.

Whats included

A commercial fit-out has to do two things at once: express the brand visually, and support the way the business actually runs every day.

KEMPA Design handles both, from the spatial strategy through to the final fixture install. This list covers what’s typically included across our commercial work.

Common questions

What size projects do you take on?

From small independent offices and cafés through to multi-floor commercial fit-outs as part of larger developments. The scope changes; the standard doesn’t.

Do you work with existing brand guidelines?

Yes. For franchise concepts and branded retail or hospitality, we translate brand guidelines into the physical space. For independent brands, we help shape the visual identity through the design itself.

Can KEMPA help with permitting and consultant coordination?

Yes, we produce the construction drawings, coordinate with MEP and structural consultants, and work with you through the permitting process.

Do you handle restaurant-specific design (kitchens, F&B operations)?

Yes. F&B is a major part of our commercial work. We coordinate with kitchen designers and equipment specialists, and design the front-of-house, bar, and seating environments to integrate properly with the back-of-house operation.

What's a realistic timeline for a commercial fit-out?

Typically 4 – 9 months from concept to opening, depending on size, permitting, and lead times. We’ll give you a realistic timeline at the proposal stage.

Do you handle office design as a standalone service?

Yes, office fit-outs are a regular part of our work, from small independent practices to larger corporate environments.
