Interior Design for Complex Multi-Family & Affordable Housing Projects
We help builders navigate the technical interior decisions, that are inherent in multi-family projects.
Our Goal: Help move projects forward with fewer surprises, while staying on budget, and delivering high client satisfaction.
Technical Interior Design Meets Real-World Delivery
Housing Compliance
We design with housing standards in mind, helping projects avoid delays.
Construction & Coordination
We account for issues that slow construction or trigger last-minute changes.
Maintenance & Durability
We select materials that look good, and also hold up to real-world use.
Resident Experience
Design choices that drive project differentiation & increase resident satisfaction.
Acoustic Considerations
Often forgotten, this design consideration helps improve your builder brand.
Fire & Safety
Fire requirements integrated with interior decisions without creating conflicts.
