Morris Adjmi Architects ("MA") is a multidisciplinary design practice dedicated to interpreting the historic forces that shape cities to create buildings that stand out by fitting in. MA is recognized for its creative use of new materials and technologies, sophisticated, sustainable designs, and thoughtful engagement with the arts. Each design decision is guided by a deep appreciation for and understanding of the integral architectural, cultural, civic, environmental, and economic forces that shape a project.
A {Licensed} Senior Interior Designer/Senior Interior Architect (SID/SIA) leads a project's Interior scope and team, providing full support through the entire project and acting as the liaison to Project Manager, Architects, and consultants. The SID/SIA performs schematic design work and participates in the design control of projects in the design development, construction document, and supervision phases. It is also responsible for budget management and cost control of the interior scope. A SID/SIA has the technical and construction knowledge to independently lead multiple projects of all sizes and levels of complexity concurrently, as well as the leadership skills to oversee a team. In some cases, the SID/SIA may act in the role of Project Manager in the absence of architecture scope. The SID/SIA may also be called on to participate in recruitment, interview potential candidates, and assist Project Directors with RFPs as requested.
