Each project is a unique opportunity to create exceptional solutions suitable to the clients, stakeholders, occupants and the site.

P+A INTERIORS brings to every project:

• an understanding of the physical, psychological and cultural needs of people, and

• an emphasis on the quality of experience within a space

• and, placemaking.

The most satisfying solutions meet the programmatic requirements, but are also beautiful, layered with meaning, and rich with ideas that are expressed in volume, form, light, colour and materials. Information gathered in the programming and schematic phases are analyzed to identify efficient and effective design strategies that support the project goals.
