Design and construction projects for commercial spaces
Retail and Stores
We design retail spaces that convey the brand’s identity from the very first moment. We carefully consider the layout, materials, lighting, and customer flow to maximize visual impact and enhance the shopping experience.

Hospitality and Food Service
We design restaurants, cafés, and hospitality spaces where the design enhances the culinary concept. Every decision—from the ceilings to the furniture—is aimed at creating a memorable and operationally efficient experience.

Offices and corporate spaces
We transform offices and corporate headquarters into environments that reflect the company’s values and enhance team performance. Brand architecture applied to the workplace.

Building facades and storefronts
The storefront is a customer’s first point of contact with a business. We design commercial storefronts and window displays that make an impact, convey the value proposition, and increase visibility from the street.

Budget
¿Cuánto cuesta un proyecto de local comercial?
No hay un precio único: el coste de un proyecto de local comercial depende del estado del local, del alcance que contrates y del nivel de intervención que pida tu marca. Estos son los factores que más pesan.
La superficie y el estado de partida
Los metros marcan el punto de partida, pero no lo explican todo. Un local en bruto obliga a resolver distribución, instalaciones y acabados desde cero; uno que ya estuvo en uso puede esconder demoliciones o refuerzos que no se ven hasta levantar el suelo.
El alcance: solo proyecto o proyecto y obra
No cuesta lo mismo encargar el diseño e interiorismo que el servicio completo con dirección de obra. Trabajamos las dos fórmulas, aunque la segunda suele reducir desviaciones de plazo y coste: quien diseña es quien controla la ejecución.
Instalaciones, licencias y normativa
Climatización, ventilación, electricidad, incendios y accesibilidad son la partida que menos se ve y más pesa, sobre todo en hostelería. A eso se suma la licencia de actividad, que tramitamos dentro del proyecto para que no se convierta en un retraso.
El nivel de acabados
Un local es una herramienta de captación, no solo un espacio. El salto entre un acabado estándar y uno que traduce la identidad de una marca es real, y nuestro trabajo es colocar esa inversión donde tu cliente la nota.
Cómo elaboramos tu presupuesto
Visitamos el local, escuchamos qué necesita tu negocio y entregamos una propuesta cerrada con alcance, fases y plazos. Sin partidas abiertas ni sorpresas a mitad de obra.
Process
Our process: from design to implementation
We manage every commercial space design and construction project from start to finish, so the client doesn’t have to coordinate with different vendors. We serve as your single point of contact from the initial meeting through to the handover of the keys.
Consulting and Brand Strategy
We analyze the business, the target audience, and the competition to develop a spatial concept that aligns with the brand identity. This phase serves as the foundation for the entire project.
Architectural and Interior Design Project
We develop comprehensive technical documentation: floor plans, material specifications, finish specifications, lighting plans, and furniture layouts. A well-thought-out project that anticipates every detail before construction begins.
Construction supervision and management
We coordinate and oversee the construction process to ensure that the final result meets the project’s standards in terms of quality, timeline, and budget. The client does not have to worry about managing contractors or suppliers.
Renovation and remodeling of commercial spaces
We transform existing commercial spaces by adapting the layout, utilities, and finishes to meet the business’s current needs. We offer comprehensive renovations or phased renovations, depending on the project and the available budget.
Key points
Why commercial design directly impacts your sales
A well-designed space isn’t just an aesthetic expense. It’s a strategic decision that influences how long customers spend in the space, their perception of the brand, and the likelihood that they’ll return or recommend the business.
Layout and Customer Flow
The layout of the elements within the store determines how customers move through the space, what they see first, and where they stop. A well-planned layout increases dwell time and strategically displays the products.

Lighting, materials, and sensory experience
Lighting shapes how we perceive a space and a product. Materials convey quality, durability, and brand consistency. At Estudio Cabana, we select each element based on both technical and aesthetic criteria.

Visual Identity and Brand Architecture
The space must speak the same language as the brand. Retail architecture is an extension of corporate identity: consistency between the physical space, visual communication, and the customer experience.

What to Consider When Choosing a Commercial Design Firm
Experience in retail and commercial interior design
Commercial space design has unique characteristics that do not apply to residential interior design. It is essential to work with a firm that has experience with projects in sectors such as retail, hospitality, or corporate spaces and that understands the specific requirements of each type of space.
Comprehensive project management capabilities
A firm that only designs and doesn’t handle construction forces you to manage the project on your own. Look for a team that will take on the project from start to finish: design, technical plans, permits, construction, and handover.
Adjustment to the budget and deadlines
Budget and deadlines are key factors in any project. A professional firm works within these constraints from the outset, rather than discovering them halfway through the project. At Estudio Cabana, we define the scope of the project based on the available resources.

Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial Space Design in Madrid
What does a commercial space design project include?
A comprehensive project includes defining the spatial concept, creating floor plans, selecting materials and finishes, designing the lighting, preparing technical specifications, and coordinating the construction work. At Estudio Cabana, we offer either a full-service package or a phased approach, depending on the client’s needs.
How long does it take to design and build a retail space?
It depends on the complexity and size of the project. The design phase can take anywhere from 4 to 10 weeks. The construction phase varies depending on the scope of the renovation. At our first meeting, we establish a realistic timeline tailored to the business’s needs.
Do you work with small spaces or in phases?
Yes. We take on projects of various sizes and can structure the project in phases when the budget or business operations require it, while maintaining the consistency of the overall design.
Do you also handle building permits and licenses?
Yes. We handle the processing of all necessary licenses and permits for the construction project, coordinating with the relevant authorities so that the client does not have to manage this process.
Can you work outside of Madrid?
Yes. Although our headquarters are in Madrid, we undertake commercial architecture and interior design projects both nationally and internationally. Contact us to discuss your project, regardless of its location.
