Commercial Interior Design
For companies, developers, and institutions building something that's growing. We design commercial spaces that match your momentum, strengthen your brand, and bring people together, from first concept through construction.
What We Design
-

Adaptive Reuse & Historic Buildings
Giving older and historic buildings a second life, balancing character and code with modern function. One of our true specialties.
-

Restaurants & Hospitality
Dining, bar, and hospitality environments that turn a great concept into a space guests remember.
-

Multifamily Housing
Amenity spaces, lobbies, common areas, and model units that lease faster and make residents proud to live there.
-

Workplace & Office Design
Offices and headquarters built to attract talent, support how your team actually works, and reflect your brand from the lobby to the break room. Including tenant improvements and build-outs.
-

Civic, Cultural & Community Spaces
Public and community-serving spaces designed to bring people together, often through the adaptive reuse of existing buildings.
-

Retail & Wellness
Stores and showrooms that express the brand and move customers through the space with intention.
Who We Work With
Our commercial clients are growing, building, and creating spaces people experience. We're especially good partners for:
Fast-growing companies scaling faster than their space can keep up, who need a workplace that attracts talent, reflects their brand, and grows with them.
Developers and owners of multifamily housing who want amenity and common spaces that lease units and elevate the resident experience.
Civic and cultural organizations creating community, public, and cultural spaces, often by breathing new life into existing or historic buildings.
Restaurants, retail, and hospitality brands that need an environment guests remember and come back to.
If you're building something that matters, we make sure the space lives up to it.
MCI is well-respected in the business community.

“I’ve worked with MCI for over 10 years. The level of professionalism and attention to detail MCI demonstrates has helped streamline my own process from budgeting through final completion. MCI has always worked diligently with the clients and my company to expedite any design modifications necessary to maintain the project schedule. As a GC for over 30 years, I would highly recommend MCI to anyone seeking the highest standards in interior design.”

“Mackenzie Collier Interiors designed our brewery and completely elevated what I could have imagined. They pretty much took my whole Pinterest Board and made what I envisioned a reality. I wanted a space designed for women, but where men would also feel welcome. The MCI team made my dream a reality.”
-Megan Greenwood, Founder Greenwood Brewing

"I joined Mackenzie Collier Interiors and two dozen other businesses and nonprofits in calling The McKinley Club our (work) home away from home when it first opened in 2014. They contributed their excellent design and organization talents to our co-working space and grew their clientele offering a unique style that showcases the uniqueness of Phoenix, Arizona, and the greater Southwest. They’re an exemplar local business and supporter of our community and its ongoing revitalization."
