Why Us

What makes Carnegis Group unique is the perfect balance we have attained between our passion for design, combined with our knowledge of the process, backed by 20 years of experience in the multi-family industry. This unique background drives our design approach to the creative process.

We strongly believe that interior design is a detailed thought process, a creative problem solving skill applied to how we shape our living, working and social environments. Taking this into account and how they interact with our emotions and frame of mind is a priority to our creative approach.

We spend the majority of our lives inside buildings; the way these spaces have been designed has a direct influence on how we feel and how we behave by association. We know that materials, fabrics & furnishings within a well designed space have the power to express a desired style of living, a brand, the life of a place, and amplify a person’s desire to call that space home. We orchestrate our design to do just that; we live to create spaces that speak to our souls and enhance our humanity.
