What role does an Interior Designer play in my project?

Often mislabeled as the team member responsible merely for finish selections, a licensed and experienced interior designer also addresses planning and functionality aspects of each project. While the architect focuses on wide-ranging project factors, such as code compliance and mechanical systems, the interior design professional focuses on the details of the space, such as staff work-flow and the location of furniture and fixtures, ensuring a more efficient layout.

Collaborating with the owner, the interior designer begins their process by interviewing key staff members. This enables the team to thoroughly understand the facility's inner-workings, needs and the impact the project may have on surrounding areas. During this process, the interior designer analyzes factors such as space requirements, existing building capabilities, operational efficiencies and traffic flow patterns. This thorough analysis ensures that the ultimate design solution not only is aesthetically-pleasing, but also functions well for your organization.
