Established in 1975, under the creative direction of Dee Chenier, DCA Design Inc has gained the loyalty of commercial and residential clients across Canada, the United States, and in more distant locales, such as the Bahamas and England. Our work is based on classical design principles, design history and also contemporary culture, and is guided by ergonomics, sustainability and the personality of the client, resulting in timeless, highly functional, individual interiors. Our academically trained designers are attentive to clients’ needs and wishes and collaborate closely with architects, contractors and trades people, enabling us to create customized hospitality, healthcare, corporate and residential environments. We participate actively in professional organizations, such as the Association of Registered Interior Designers of Ontario (ARIDO), Interior Designers of Canada (IDC) and the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID), and are committed to further education through industry seminars and roundtable discussions. |
