3 Commercial Architectural Trends for 2025

2025 is in full swing! With a new year comes emerging trends. Frameworks Manufacturing shares a few commercial architectural trends to look out for in 2025:

Sustainable materials

In 2025, we are more environmentally conscious than ever before. Sustainability is a top priority across many industries—including construction and architecture. Sustainable construction utilizes renewable energy sources and eco-friendly, low-emitting materials to reduce environmental harm. Sustainable construction materials include bamboo, stone, recycled plastics and metals (like aluminum), reclaimed wood, etc. These design materials are only increasing in popularity and we don’t expect that to change in 2025! 

Glass partitions and windows

Glass partitions and windows give office fronts a modern, sleek look. In 2025, architects are using glass to create open, well-lit spaces. Glass partitions and windows let in light, which increases productivity and supports mental well-being. Glass also creates the illusion of a much larger space, which is important for occupants who spend much of their days in their offices. 

Aluminum frames

Architects favor aluminum not only because it’s a sustainable material, but it’s also very durable. About 75% of aluminum ever produced is still used and recycled today! Aluminum is also very lightweight but strong and resistant to bending. When used in commercial settings, aluminum is great for reducing sound transmission. For these reasons, interior aluminum framing systems are the preferred choice among architects in 2025.
