Service

Commercial, Hospitality & Retail

Our healthcare specialty grew out of a broader commercial practice, and we still take select office, hospitality, and retail projects. They get the same disciplined process: durable, on-brand, and delivered on schedule.

Commercial, Hospitality & Retail by Nickerson Design
Who it's for

Owners and operators of offices, cafés and restaurants, boutiques and retail, and other commercial tenant-improvement projects across Southern California.

How the engagement works

A clear sequence.

  1. 01

    Discover

    We learn the brand, the operation, and the constraints of the space.

  2. 02

    Design

    Concept, materials, and details that fit the brand and the budget.

  3. 03

    Document

    Drawings and specifications a contractor can build and a city can permit.

  4. 04

    Deliver

    We support the build through to opening.

How we handle the build

Design leadership, accountable through construction.

As with our healthcare work, we provide design and documentation and coordinate with your general contractor — we don't self-perform construction. We can recommend partner GCs and help navigate tenant-improvement permitting.

Questions about this service

No. Dental and medical practices are our specialty, but we regularly design offices, hospitality, and retail spaces — and bring the same process and standards to all of them.
