After 42 years of industry-defining design work, IA Interior Architects is evolving once more.
The 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: the firm, IA Interior Architects, will now be known only as IA.
This evolution is both intentional and a natural next step. Their growth has always been strategic and client-driven, remaining true to who they are at their core. IA’s name change and evolution will be accompanied by a new logo, one that signals their growth into a more expansive practice. They 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 their adaptability and evolution.
It also signifies their continued dedication to a diversity of markets. Over the past decade, they have strategically invested in their hospitality and retail practices and expanded their commercial market sectors to include aviation, healthcare and advanced manufacturing, all of which have seen tremendous organic growth. This, paired with their deliberate investment in talent with expertise in disciplines such as base-building architecture, sustainability and strategy, augments their evolution. As their brand moves forward, so do their professionals, their project work and their mission-driven focus.
In addition to their new logo, we’re unveiling a brand-new website that reflects who they are today. This site gives them a refreshed digital presence, but it will continue to provide valuable insights and compelling research, and to showcase their 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 their foundational value of entrepreneurship, their clients and their people. They will continue to chart their own course, remaining employee-owned through their 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.
