Full Service Commercial Interior Design in Pittsburgh

Large energy and industrial projects in the region mean heavy construction demand. The Homer City campus announcement for the former coal plant in Indiana County projected more than 10,000 direct on-site construction-related jobs, and crews like that need somewhere to live. Housing follows as garden-style and mid-rise apartments in the city and inner suburbs, extended-stay hotels for construction and commissioning crews, workforce rental housing in the outer counties, and senior and active adult communities.

A developer building in that environment is already coordinating architects, contractors and lenders. Splitting the interior among separate firms adds more handoffs where drawings, orders and installation can drift apart. One firm holds the design intent from the first image to the final placement of a lamp, and the owner has one phone call to make when something needs a decision.

Pittsburgh does not build one kind of housing. A mid-rise community near employers needs a lobby and amenity program that speaks to professionals. A workforce rental community in the outer counties needs durable, welcoming interiors that hold up to heavy use. An extended-stay property needs calm rooms and efficient common areas. Senior and active adult communities, in an older-skewing metro, need clear wayfinding and comfortable gathering rooms.

We shape the design to the resident, and we use the city's character as a source. Exposed brick and steel, warm woods and blackened metal give interiors a Pittsburgh identity. Against long overcast winters, lighting and soft goods carry the warmth.
