ISSUES
People are often convinced that Architects are only interested in the design of a building's exterior and the technical issues associated with this. In fact, architects are usually drawn to solving any design problem whether it is building-related, furniture or industrial design, siting and landscape issues but certainly including the creation of successful interior spaces.
Architectural design for interiors includes space planning, concept development, detailed design and the careful coordination of building services just as with the building shell. With interiors however, additional considerations must be brought to bear including interior construction and detailing, selection of finishes, colours and the integration of millwork,furniture systems and special equipment. The design challenge remains the same for interior space as for the building itself - how to best create functional, flexible space with a distinctive, appropriate image and within the budget constraints of the project.

EXPERIENCE
Our firm has participated in the planning, design and construction of a wide variety of interior projects including commercial offices, institutional administrative space, high-tech research and meeting facilities, classrooms, retail interiors, bars and restaurants, residential and industrial interiors and recreation spaces.
