Who We Are
IA is a global firm of architects, designers, strategists, and specialists. We focus exclusively on environments through the lens of interior architecture—a radical idea in 1984, when IA was founded. We are highly connected agents of change, committed to creativity, innovation, growth, & our communities.

Through innovation, research, and building on smart, highly creative solutions that embody our clients’ brands, we advance the field. As an employee-owned firm, our diverse and purpose-driven individuals bring new ideas to life, while challenging the status quo.
We’re inspired working alongside our clients to simplify complex challenges and design human-centric environments where people thrive. Through our craft we strive to share our passion with our clients.

Community Involvement
IA's teams strive to be agents of change not only for clients, but for our local communities. Through IA Reach (the philanthropic arm of IA Interior Architects) and our firm-wide ties to the IA Interior Architects Diversity in Design Fun and Scholarship, IA employees seek to extend their influence past the built environment and into their community.

Our Commitment
The ways in which we develop, design, and construct our built environment has a tremendous impact on our world. Buildings account for nearly 40% of greenhouse gas emissions, and are a leading source of construction waste, energy use, and water consumption. IA is committed to building a better quality of life and a more sustainable planet through the work we do for our clients, and the industry-leading standards to which we adhere.
