commercial and mixed-use design with practical delivery in mind.
We support small commercial, workplace, hospitality, healthcare-adjacent and mixed-use projects where layout, approvals and technical coordination need to be resolved clearly.
LXW combines architectural design with digital delivery experience across residential, commercial, healthcare and defence environments.
Commercial spaces that work in use.
One consistent LXW process, shaped around the specific approval route, design risk and technical information your project needs.
Commercial work needs a clear balance between brand, operations, statutory approvals, accessibility, fire strategy and budget.
We can help test layouts, coordinate change-of-use or planning requirements and develop technical information for building control or fit-out.
The scope can be tailored to early feasibility, landlord approvals, planning, technical design or contractor coordination.

what you can expect.
Deliverables are tailored to the agreed scope, project stage and statutory approvals required. These are the typical information packages for this service.

- Visual material
- Landlord approval drawings where required
Technical
- Building regulations drawings

approval routes matter.
We keep the wording here conservative because planning policy, permitted development and building control requirements depend on the property, location and current regulations.
- Commercial and mixed-use work can involve planning permission, change-of-use considerations, building regulations and landlord approvals.
- Accessibility, fire safety, servicing and operational requirements should be tested early.
- Some commercial projects require specialist input, including fire, M&E, acoustic, highways or planning consultants.

common questions.
Can you help with change of use?
Yes. We can test the architectural implications and coordinate planning advice where a change-of-use route is needed.
Do commercial projects need building regulations?
Many do. We review the approval route early and coordinate the technical information needed by the project.
