Commercial & Hospitality
Outdoor spaces that work as hard as your property.
Amenity decks, rooftops, courtyards and hospitality patios designed to attract guests, residents and revenue.
VizX partners with owners, developers, operators and architects to design commercial outdoor living spaces throughout Chicagoland and nationwide.
Built for Business
Outdoor space is part of the experience you sell.
Residents compare amenity decks before they sign a lease. Guests choose the hotel with the courtyard. Diners stay longer on a patio that feels designed, not left over.
We plan commercial outdoor spaces around how people will move through them, gather in them and come back to them, so every square foot earns its place on the property.
Designed for daily use, not just the grand opening. Durable materials, smart circulation and easy upkeep are planned in from the start.
Who We Design For
Spaces that serve your guests.
Every commercial project is planned around its users, its operations and its brand.

Commercial Design
Planned for operations, not just looks.
Commercial outdoor spaces carry more traffic, more rules and more decision makers. Our designs account for all of it.
- Commercial-grade materials chosen for heavy traffic and easy upkeep.
- Accessibility and code planned with your architect from the start.
- Circulation and capacity laid out for crowds, service and safe exits.
- Shade and shelter with louvered pergolas, umbrellas and screens.
- Fire, water and lighting features that turn a space into a destination.
- Utilities coordinated for gas, power, water and drainage.
- Phasing plans that keep your property open during construction.
- Presentation packages for ownership, investors and approvals.

What types of commercial projects do you design?
Hotels and resorts, apartment and condo communities, rooftop amenity decks, casinos, restaurants, bars and other hospitality spaces. If people gather outside it, we can design it.
Do you work with architects, developers and general contractors?
Yes. We often join a project team alongside the architect, engineer and builder, and we deliver plans and presentation materials that fit into the larger project.
How do you handle accessibility and code requirements?
They are part of the plan from day one. We coordinate with your architect and the local jurisdiction on accessible routes, clearances, railings and amenity access.
Can you design around an operating property?
Yes. We plan phasing, access and staging so guests and residents can keep using the property while work is underway.
Do you take on commercial projects outside Chicagoland?
Yes. VizX serves commercial clients throughout Chicagoland and nationwide, and our design process works just as well for projects hundreds of miles away.
Can you provide visuals for ownership or investor approval?
Yes. Our Conceptual 3D Design step produces visuals and a presentation package that help owners, boards and investors see the plan and approve it with confidence.
How is commercial design priced?
Every commercial project is scoped individually. After a discovery call and site review, we provide a design proposal based on the size and complexity of the space.
What is the first step?
Schedule a discovery call. We will talk through your property, your goals and your timeline, and outline how our 5-Step Design Process applies to your project.
