Pye Interiors

What Pye Interiors does

Pye Interiors LLC is a privately held, woman-owned commercial interior design firm founded in 1995 by Linda Pye and headquartered at 104 Industry Way, Staunton, Virginia. The firm delivers professional interior design services through a structured four-phase process — Programming & Space Planning, Design Development, Construction Documentation, and Project Administration — for clients across five verticals: corporate, senior living, higher education, healthcare, and hospitality. Its core team of NCIDQ-certified designers holds additional LEED AP ID+C and WELL AP credentials, and the firm is certified as a Virginia Small and Woman-Owned Business (Va-SWaM #9136).

The firm serves enterprise and institutional clients (e.g., Bank of the James, UVA Health System, University of Richmond, Sunnyside Retirement Community, Inn at Virginia Tech, Boar's Head Resort) typically as part of project teams alongside architecture partners such as Mather Architects, Cooper Carry, and Balzer Associates. Beyond core services, Pye Interiors has extended into a co-developed product line — a Senior Living Seating Collection launched with Direct Supply in May 2021 — and into lower-ticket E-Design / Virtual Design services delivered remotely via Zoom or Teams. Geographic footprint is primarily Virginia with a Pittsburgh branch opened in early 2023 and a remote presence in Padova, Italy through founder Linda Pye.

Revenue is generated on a project, scope-based professional services model with no publicly disclosed pricing; the firm has no external funding, operates with a core team of approximately 4-5 designers, and is led by Principal Designer Susan Cash following a 2021 planned ownership transition. Distribution is direct-to-client supplemented by architectural and contractor channel partnerships, with marketing driven by a project portfolio website, News & Insights blog, and ASID Professional Membership activity.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Others

• Direct Supply: National supplier and manufacturer of furnishings and equipment for senior living operators. Comparable because Pye has a strategic co-development partnership with Direct Supply for the Senior Living Seating Collection; Direct Supply is the manufacturing/distribution partner that brings Pye's designs to market at scale.

Direct peers

• JLG Architects: Mid-sized architecture firm with higher education, healthcare, and workplace practices. Comparable service mix and institutional client focus, though primarily operating in upper Midwest geographies rather than Mid-Atlantic.
• Henricksen: Commercial interior design and furniture dealership firm serving corporate, healthcare, and higher education clients. Comparable in service offering (interior design + furniture specification) and vertical mix, though operating with an integrated furniture dealership model Pye does not have.
• DesignCollective: Mid-Atlantic architecture and interior design firm with strong higher education, healthcare, and workplace portfolios. Directly comparable in scale, geography (DC/Baltimore corridor with Virginia overlap), and vertical mix — competing for many of the same institutional clients in the region.
• Ware Malcomb: Mid-sized commercial architecture and interior design firm with multi-office presence and workplace, healthcare, and senior living practices. Directly comparable to Pye in service mix (commercial interiors, four-phase process) and vertical coverage, but with broader geographic reach.
• Little Diversified Architectural Consulting: Mid-sized integrated architecture and interior design firm with comparable commercial, healthcare, and senior living practices. Similar size band and service model to Pye, with multi-office presence serving institutional clients in overlapping geographies.

Regional players

• EwingCole: Mid-Atlantic architecture and engineering firm with established healthcare and higher education interior design practices. Comparable vertical mix (healthcare, higher education, corporate) and East Coast geography, though as a larger integrated firm.

Broad incumbents

• IA Interior Architects: Large commercial interior design firm with deep corporate workplace practice. Comparable because it serves the same Fortune 500 / institutional client base and competes for many of the same corporate and healthcare interior design RFPs Pye pursues, though at materially larger scale.
• Gensler: World's largest design firm with leading commercial interiors practice across corporate workplace, healthcare, and hospitality. Comparable because it competes for the same corporate headquarters and large institutional interiors work that Pye serves, but at global scale.
• Perkins&Will: Global architecture and interiors firm with significant healthcare, higher education, and workplace practices. Comparable because it competes for the same institutional interiors commissions Pye targets (UVA, university systems, health systems), though as a much larger integrated firm.
