Interior design is about more than creating a compelling look and feel. It’s also about functional solutions at a personal scale. From wayfinding to comfort to fixtures, our Interior Design team works seamlessly with our architects to create stunning, cohesive environments. 

Establishing a Sense of Emotion and Place

Interior design at DesignGroup is seamlessly aligned with architecture and engineering. Our designers collaborate to achieve a single vision that combines function and aesthetics into a cohesive whole. If architecture represents a contextual reason for project decisions, interior design focuses on sensory details — the touch, feel, acoustics, and composition. These are the elements that shape how people feel in the space.

The Importance of Community Engagement in Healthcare Design

Healthcare design projects involve countless input from partners and stakeholders. One group that shouldn’t be overlooked: the people who will use the building when it’s complete.
