A Collaborative Approach to Architecture and Interior Design

At SPT Architecture, we believe that great design goes beyond looks—it’s about creating spaces that work for the people who use them. As a full-service architecture, interior architecture, and interior design firm, we take a collaborative approach, merging architecture with interior design to create environments that are thoughtful, cohesive, and built to last. 

One Team, One Vision

At SPT, teamwork is at the heart of what we do. Our firm is uniquely structured to foster seamless collaboration between architects and interior designers. Of the firm’s seven partners, Rebecca Gates and Gina Loomis specialize in interior architecture and design; our architects include Greg Tice, Jeff Koch, Kristine Pafford, and Luke Dolechek, who—together with our interior designers—provide a comprehensive design solution that considers both the exterior and interior of every project. Dave Wells rounds out the team by providing expert site planning and landscape architecture services. This balance reinforces our belief that great design comes from a fully integrated approach. 

We are not siloed into separate design studios—instead, our architects and interior designers work as one team, influencing and enhancing each other’s work throughout every stage of a project.

Why an Integrated Approach Matters

By blending architecture and interior design from the start, we ensure that projects are not only visually cohesive but also optimized for how people will interact with them. This leads to:

A Unified Vision

When architecture and interior design are considered together, the result is a space that feels intentional and well thought out. Our process ensures that every material, layout, and finish complements the overall architectural framework rather than feeling like an afterthought.

Consistency in Design

A well-designed building should tell a story from the outside in. The materials, scale, and flow should feel seamless, not like a series of unrelated design decisions. Our approach guarantees that architectural elements and interior details align, creating spaces that feel cohesive and complete.

A great example of this is our work on the Warren Theatres. The exterior detailing and interior finishes were carefully designed to complement each other, creating a unified experience from the outside in. The quote, “The show starts on the sidewalk,” from architect S. Charles Lee captures this idea perfectly. It emphasizes that a theater’s experience begins the moment people arrive, not just when they step inside. This seamless integration of both architectural and interior elements is a hallmark of our approach, ensuring the space functions beautifully while telling a cohesive design story.

Client-Centered Solutions

At the core of our work is a simple truth: every space serves a purpose. Whether it’s a classroom designed for learning, a hospital that promotes healing, an office that fosters creativity, or a hotel that enhances comfort and luxury, we design with people in mind. Because our architects and interior designers collaborate from day one, our projects are both beautiful and functional.

Bringing Spaces to Life

At SPT, we’re more than just designers—we’re problem solvers, collaborators, and partners. We LISTEN to our clients’ goals, LEAD them through a process where design and function are fully integrated, and ELEVATE their projects by delivering thoughtful spaces that stand the test of time​.

Design matters. Expertise matters. Collaboration matters. And at SPT, we bring all three together to create spaces that don’t just meet expectations—they exceed them.
