\"\"Les McCoy started out in the engineering field and after 20-plus years he decided a career change was needed so he started a commercial interior design firm built on the foundation he made during his consulting engineering days. Many would think that an odd transition but, having made the right connections, it worked out and 2020 will be the 25th year of DesignPoint.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

LVB: How does your work as an interior architectural designer differ from other types of architecture?<\/strong><\/p>\n

McCoy:<\/strong> We concentrate solely on the space within a building and how it will be utilized by the people that work or live in the building. It is our job to bring life to the interior whether it be a corporate, hotel, or senior living community, all with very different needs but ultimately much of what we bring to the architecture determines how well people will live and function within their space.<\/p>\n

LVB: What are the most important things you look at when designing an interior space?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

McCoy:<\/strong> Every detail of the design is important, but one of the most compelling is how to bring harmony of daylighting and arti cial lighting to enhance the overall environment. The advancement of LED and circadian rhythm lighting is an exciting development that will be huge in years to come for many applications.<\/p>\n

LVB: What are the current, \u2018hot\u2019 trends in interior architectural design?<\/strong><\/p>\n

McCoy: <\/strong>Open environments and the use of glass especially in corporate spaces for a more minimalist look, but just like single-family homes are being built today, we strive to create openness in our large senior living community projects as well.<\/p>\n

LVB: What\u2019s next for the industry?<\/strong><\/p>\n

McCoy:<\/strong> I think VR (Virtual Reality) that larger rms are using will expand and soon all designers will be taking clients through their spaces before they actually exist. Interior design is never standing still and the future is very bright for those in the industry.<\/p>\n
