Interior Design

Creating Interior Environments That Work for People

Interior environments influence how people experience a place: how they work, learn, collaborate, heal and connect. STV approaches interior design as an extension of our human-centered design philosophy, creating spaces that support well-being while responding to the practical demands of everyday use. Our work balances experience, function and performance so that interiors feel purposeful, welcoming and built around the people who use them.

STV brings interior design together with architecture and multidisciplinary engineering, allowing decisions about space, materials, building systems, safety, and performance to be made as part of one integrated design process. Our interior designers support clients from programming and space planning through finish selection, documentation and construction, maintaining continuity between the initial vision and the completed environment.

We design interior environments across education, science and technology, healthcare, government, civic and workplace settings. Each presents different needs, from highly specialized research and technical environments to flexible workplaces that support collaboration, employee experience and changing patterns of use. Across these settings, we consider how planning, technology, environmental quality and design can work together to create spaces that remain useful as organizations and user needs evolve.

The goal is an interior that works as well as it feels. By connecting human experience with technical understanding and operational needs, STV creates environments that support productivity, connection and well-being while delivering lasting value for owners and users.

Our Capabilities in Interior Design

STV provides interior design services from early programming through implementation:

• Programming and Space Planning: Translating organizational, operational and user needs into efficient, functional and adaptable interior environments.
• Interior Design and Documentation: Developing integrated design solutions from early concepts through construction documents, specifications and implementation.
• Materials, Finishes and Furnishings: Selecting materials and finishes that balance aesthetics, durability, maintainability, sustainability and user experience.
• Workplace Strategy and Planning: Creating flexible environments that respond to evolving work patterns, collaboration needs, technology and employee well-being.
• Specialized Interior Environments: Designing spaces for research, technology, healthcare, education, government and other settings with specialized operational and performance requirements.
• Life Safety and Accessibility Integration: Incorporating safety, accessibility and code requirements into interior planning and design.
• Renovation and Interior Transformation: Reimagining existing spaces to accommodate new uses, changing organizations and evolving expectations.

What Sets STV Apart

• Designed Around People: We consider how people move through, interact with and experience a space, making well-being, comfort and usability fundamental design considerations.
• Interiors and Architecture in One Vision: Our interior designers collaborate with architects and engineers from the beginning, connecting finishes and space planning with the broader architecture, systems and performance of the building.
• Understanding How Space Performs: Our experience with workplaces, laboratories, research facilities and other highly functional environments gives us a practical understanding of the relationship between interior design and operations.
• Flexibility for What Comes Next: We help clients create adaptable environments that can respond to changing workforce expectations, technologies and ways of using space.
• Experience and Performance Together: We balance aesthetics with safety, efficiency, durability and long-term value, creating interiors that are visually engaging without losing sight of how they need to function.
