Commercial interior design on the Treasure Coast and in the Palm Beaches
Led by Vanessa Garcia, 20+ years of design experience · Based in Stuart · Serving the Treasure Coast & the Palm Beaches
3D concept rendering by Vanessa GarciaOverview
Commercial interiors have to earn their rent. Gava Studio Design designs offices, restaurants and hospitality spaces, retail and showrooms, and medical and professional suites across Stuart, Port St. Lucie, Vero Beach, Jupiter, and West Palm Beach, with the concept, 3D renderings, and documentation a landlord, investor, and licensed contractor need to approve and build.
Because we also offer branding and digital design, a commercial project can carry one identity from the logo to the lobby.

Commercial interior design services by sector
Offices in downtown Stuart, Port St. Lucie, and downtown West Palm Beach need plans that balance focus work, collaboration, and the client-facing front of house, with lighting and acoustics that make the space usable. Restaurants and cafés in downtown Stuart, on the Jupiter waterfront, and along Clematis Street need seating counts, kitchen adjacency, and an atmosphere that photographs well.
Retail and showrooms depend on fixtures, sightlines, and lighting that present product. Medical and wellness suites require privacy, cleanable finishes, and patient flow. Developers need model units, sales galleries, and amenity spaces that sell the building.

How commercial build-outs run on the Treasure Coast
Most commercial projects start with a lease and a tenant improvement allowance. We begin with a test-fit to confirm the space can hold the program, then develop the concept and renderings used to secure landlord approval and financing. Design documents follow for pricing by licensed contractors.
Commercial work in Florida often requires an architect or engineer of record for permit drawings, depending on scope and jurisdiction. Gava Studio Design coordinates with those professionals and with the general contractor, directing the interior design through construction to opening.
What Gava Studio Design brings to a commercial project
The region's commercial market ranges from downtown Stuart storefronts to medical and professional offices in Port St. Lucie to hospitality in Jupiter and West Palm Beach, and each has different landlords, codes, and customers. We bring residential-grade attention to material and light into commercial spaces, and we pair it with 3D visualization so owners and investors see the result before committing tenant improvement dollars.
Our real estate partner, Honey One Real Estate, gives us a practical view of what Florida spaces lease and sell for.
Branding, signage, and the customer journey
For customer-facing businesses, the interior is part of the brand. We design signage, wayfinding, menu boards, and feature walls with the identity, and we plan the route a customer takes from the sidewalk to the register or the table. For businesses without an identity yet, our branding and digital design service creates one alongside the space.
Do you handle commercial permitting?
Permits are obtained by the licensed contractor, and permit drawings may require an architect or engineer depending on scope. We coordinate with both and provide the interior design documents they need.
How do you coordinate with contractors on build-outs?
Through our project direction service: design schedule aligned to construction, procurement tracking, site meetings at key milestones, and review of shop drawings and installed work against the design.
What is a typical commercial timeline?
Design and approvals typically take a few months and construction depends on scope and permitting. We plan backward from your opening date and identify the long-lead items first.
Which areas do you cover for commercial work?
Commercial projects within about 50 miles of Stuart: Stuart, Port St. Lucie, Fort Pierce, Vero Beach, Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens, West Palm Beach, and neighboring cities across the Treasure Coast and the Palm Beaches.
