After 42 years of industry-defining design work, IA Interior Architects is evolving once more. Our firm, a global interior design and architecture powerhouse, has been strategically expanding its expertise and capabilities beyond corporate interiors and is now announcing an expansion of its services and practice areas. Along with this diversification comes a name change: our firm, IA Interior Architects, will now be known only as IA.

This evolution is both intentional and a natural next step. Our growth has always been strategic and client-driven, remaining true to who we are at our core. IA’s name change and evolution will be accompanied by a new logo, one that signals our growth into a more expansive practice. We are thrilled to unveil the logo, which represents our ongoing commitment to thought-provoking design and architecture, reflects our consistent position as a global design leader, and nods to our adaptability and evolution.

It also signifies our continued dedication to a diversity of markets. Over the past decade, we have strategically invested in our hospitality and retail practices and expanded our commercial market sectors to include aviation, healthcare, and advanced manufacturing, all of which have seen tremendous organic growth. This, paired with our deliberate investment in talent with expertise in disciplines such as base-building architecture, sustainability, and strategy, augments our evolution. As our brand moves forward, so do our professionals, our project work, and our mission-driven focus.

In addition to our new logo, we’re unveiling a brand-new website that reflects who we are today. This site gives us a refreshed digital presence, but it will continue to provide valuable insights and compelling research, and to showcase our impactful design work.

“This brand evolution is a culmination of multiple years of work and consideration, and we’re thrilled to finally unveil it. One of the most exciting elements is that we’re pushing IA’s brand forward rather than standing still. This has always been a priority. We’re pleased to share this evolved brand, which fully communicates our expanded services and effectively moves IA into the future,” shared IA co-CEOs/Presidents Tom Powers, AIA, and David Bourke.

Ultimately, IA will always be committed to our foundational value of entrepreneurship, our clients, and our people. We will continue to chart our own course, remaining employee-owned through our ESOP. This brand evolution is a celebration, moving our firm into a new, expansive era of growth, one that is a natural fit for who IA is and has always been.
