Designing Purpose-Built Spaces for Business Success

Your commercial space is more than just walls and square footage—it’s a reflection of your brand, your workflow, and your future. At Richard Brookfield, LLC, we specialize in commercial architecture that serves your business goals while meeting Florida’s strict building codes and zoning regulations.



From restaurants and office buildings to breweries, bars, warehouses, and tenant build-outs, we bring over 45 years of hands-on experience in construction and design to commercial projects across Ormond Beach and beyond. We balance efficiency, aesthetics, and code compliance to deliver architecture that performs as beautifully as it looks.

What Makes Our Commercial Architecture Different

  • Real-World Build Knowledge - Richard’s early construction background ensures designs are practical, efficient, and cost-effective to build.
  • Zoning & Code Expertise - We stay current with local and state regulations—ADA, occupancy limits, fire code, parking, and more—so you don’t face delays or surprises.
  • Custom Design for Your Business Model - Every plan is tailored to how your business operates. Whether you need front-of-house ambiance or back-of-house efficiency, we’ll design with purpose.
  • Permit-Ready Drawings - Complete construction documents ready for approval and bidding—coordinated with your engineer or general contractor.
  • High-End Visuals - Use 3D renderings and flythroughs to review layouts, impress stakeholders, and streamline approvals.

Process: From Planning to Permit

We simplify the complex commercial design process by managing each phase clearly and collaboratively:


  1. Consultation & Needs Assessment - We discuss your business goals, site limitations, and operational flow.
  2. Feasibility & Zoning Review - We evaluate your property for setbacks, parking, use classification, and code requirements.
  3. Schematic Design & 3D Visualization - Initial floor plans and exterior concepts are presented in both 2D and 3D.
  4. Construction Documents - Complete permit-ready drawings with clear specifications, ready for bidding and engineering coordination.
  5. Construction Observation (Optional) - For clients who want oversight during construction, we remain involved to ensure design intent is preserved.
