Commercial Interiors
If you're here, you already know this matters. The right space tells your story when you're not in the room. Offices, retail, and commercial interiors where businesses work, meet, and express who they are.
The wrong first impression may be the last chance you get
If your space doesn't reflect who you are or how you work, it holds your business back. You can work from anywhere, but when people walk into your space and don't immediately understand what your business is about, something important is lost. It is the chance to inspire your team, attract the right clients, and show what you stand for.
Clients see it too. When the space doesn’t reflect the same care, focus, and standards that define how you work, it sends mixed signals. And that disconnect, even a small one, can cost trust before a word is said.
Do what you do,
better
We are business owners too, and we understand what is at stake when time, money, and people are involved. We take this work seriously because every detail matters: how space is planned, how decisions are made, how communication flows.
We stay close to the work and move quickly so the process stays clear from start to finish. The goal is simple. A space that helps you do what you do, better.
You’ll work directly with us
We know how demanding it is to run a business while managing a build-out. Our clients are busy and expect the same level of professionalism and clarity they bring to their own work. We approach each project with that same discipline: clear communication, organized delivery, and attention to detail from start to finish.
Métrica is led by its founders, Andrés Villaveces and Juan León. We're personally involved in every interior project we take on, focusing on a limited number each year to stay close to the work. We've delivered turnkey projects at scale and supported repeat clients as they expand or outgrow their spaces, helping them stay consistent across locations while adapting to what's next.
You get the right team from day one
A clear path forward
We keep the early steps simple. It's about understanding your goals, exploring what's possible, and giving you the clarity to move forward with confidence.
Start the conversation
Share your goals and site details. We’ll listen, ask questions, and see if we're the right fit.
Review what’s possible
We’ll outline options based on your site, budget, and priorities, so you know what can be achieved.
Begin the design process
Once aligned, we start the discovery phase that leads to your architectural concept.
The right fit matters
With every good building, there was a very good client. The best work starts with clients who are demanding about excellence; who recognize it when they see it and are willing to invest in getting it right. They value elegant problem solving and the clarity that comes from a disciplined process.
Good clients give the work room to develop. They understand that design is a process of discovery, that strong ideas need space to evolve, and that architecture takes time. A thoughtful budget helps too: sufficient to do something meaningful, but disciplined enough to encourage elegant solutions rather than excess.
When those values align, trust builds naturally, the process flows, and the results speak for themselves. If that sounds like you, we'll get along well, and the work will show it.
They listen, understand, and analyze your requirements in detail. Juan Pablo's leadership and organization are key in the process, and Andrés is the creative force that makes them a great team
We've entrusted Métrica with our workspace for over ten years. Their work has had a positive impact on staff, visitors, and clients.
Métrica worked closely with us through every phase. The construction went smoothly and the result is outstanding.
Common questions
Not always, but in most cases, yes. Any project that changes the layout, adds or moves walls, or affects building systems like mechanical, electrical, or plumbing will require permitted construction drawings prepared by a licensed architect. Even cosmetic renovations can trigger code requirements depending on the scope. If you're not sure, we can look at what you're planning and tell you what's required.
It depends on how much you're changing. A finish-level renovation — paint, flooring, lighting, fixtures — is a focused scope with minimal code impact. Once you start reconfiguring layouts, adding rooms, or modifying mechanical and electrical systems, the documentation and coordination requirements increase. A full gut renovation or change of use is the most involved and may trigger accessibility upgrades, structural review, and updated fire and life safety systems. Our Architect's Guide breaks down what's required at each level so you can see where your project falls.
Design typically takes 3 to 6 months in most projects. Construction adds another 4 to 12 months depending on the complexity and size of the space. A straightforward office renovation will be on the shorter end; a large space or a space with specialized systems and requirements will take longer. We can give you a realistic schedule once we understand what it is needed.
Our fees are fixed and based on the size of the space and the level of work involved. We publish our fee schedule in our Architect's Guide so you know what to expect before we start.
Offices, retail, showrooms, and tenant improvements across building types. We've designed workspaces for technology companies and flagship retail stores. If you're fitting out a leased space or renovating one you own, we can help.
It depends on the scope. Some tenant improvements only require architectural drawings. If your project involves structural changes, new mechanical systems, or significant electrical work, engineering consultants will be needed. We coordinate with engineers and include their scope in our proposal so you have one point of contact.
A floor plan of the space (even a rough one), would be helpful. Your goals and target timeline are also useful. If you have a lease with a build-out deadline, that's helpful to know upfront.
es. Code compliance is built into our process. We handle building code analysis, occupancy classification, ADA requirements, and the permit application. If your project triggers a change of use, we will identify what that means for your scope and budget early on.
