Interior Design in NYC: Elevating Spaces with Hudson & Nine
Commercial Interior Design: Strategic Spaces that Drive Business Performance
At Hudson & Nine, we approach commercial interior design as a powerful driver of business success. A well-designed space does more than look polished—it communicates your brand values, supports your team’s productivity, and shapes the customer experience. Our mission is to translate your business objectives into environments that work seamlessly, feel elevated, and leave a lasting impression. Whether you're reimagining your office headquarters, launching a retail concept, or developing a boutique hospitality space, we deliver tailored design solutions that align with your brand identity and business goals. Every element—from spatial flow to material selection—is guided by strategy, ensuring that your space doesn't just look exceptional but functions exceptionally well.
We understand that no two businesses operate the same way. That’s why we take a collaborative and research-driven approach, uncovering the nuances of how your team and clients engage with your environment. Our commercial interiors are never one-size-fits-all—they are custom-designed to support growth, culture, and innovation, while offering the sophisticated aesthetic Hudson & Nine is known for.
Workplace Interiors That Inspire & Perform
Workplace design is the cornerstone of our commercial practice. In a landscape where flexibility, wellness, and brand expression are more important than ever, we create interiors that support how people want to work today—and tomorrow. From executive-level environments to collaborative team spaces and everything in between, our office designs are built to foster performance, connection, and comfort.
We start every workplace project by learning how the business functions at every level. We explore workflows, department adjacencies, and the role of in-person collaboration. From there, we create a spatial strategy that balances focus and openness, structure and flexibility. Wellness is also a key consideration—our designs often integrate natural light, acoustic privacy, biophilic elements, and ergonomic furniture that enhance day-to-day well-being. Every material, fixture, and layout decision is carefully made to enhance both form and function, delivering a workplace that truly supports the people who use it.
Whether you're a fast-growing startup or an established company looking to rebrand or relocate, we bring a level of design precision and strategic insight that transforms your office into a space that reflects who you are and how you work.
What Sets Our Commercial Interiors Apart
We bring a refined, thoughtful approach to every commercial project, defined by four key strengths:
Workplace Strategy & Flow
We prioritize functionality from the start, using strategic planning to ensure every square foot supports your team’s productivity and your business operations. Adjacencies, traffic patterns, and department zoning are all considered with care, resulting in intuitive layouts that improve how people work together.
Custom Furniture & Millwork
Our designs often include custom-built elements that are tailored to the unique needs and brand language of the business. From reception desks to collaborative workstations and built-in storage, we design and fabricate furnishings that integrate seamlessly into the architecture and elevate the design narrative.
Materiality & Detailing
We curate every finish with intention, selecting materials that offer both beauty and durability. Whether it’s architectural surfaces, textiles, or hardware, every detail is an opportunity to reinforce your brand and enhance the user experience. Craftsmanship and long-term performance are always top priorities.
Lighting Design & Atmosphere
We use lighting to define zones, highlight features, and create ambiance throughout commercial spaces. Natural light is maximized whenever possible, while layered artificial lighting is integrated to support focus, collaboration, and visual comfort—always enhancing the mood and usability of the space
Retail & Hospitality: Designing For Experience and Impact
While workplace interiors are our primary commercial focus, we also design curated environments in the retail and hospitality sectors. In these highly experiential spaces, our goal is to create environments that forge emotional connections, enhance customer engagement, and express the brand through every surface, fixture, and finish.
In retail design, we develop immersive, story-driven environments that connect with the customer journey—from storefront to checkout. We optimize spatial layouts to encourage exploration and maximize product visibility while incorporating lighting and materials that reinforce the brand’s personality. Every design decision is intentional, ensuring a seamless integration of visual identity and physical space.
In hospitality settings such as boutique hotels, restaurants, lounges, and wellness spaces, we emphasize mood, flow, and ambiance. These spaces must not only look luxurious but also guide the guest experience through thoughtful lighting, zoning, textures, and detailing. Whether it's a lobby that sets the tone or a dining room designed for intimacy and energy, we create environments that are memorable, intuitive, and immersive.
