Why companies pick Hixson for office design

One firm, 20 in-house disciplines

Interior designers, architects and MEP, structural and civil engineers work together daily. You get one team instead of a chain of outside consultants.

Strategy before drawings

Visioning, programming and space planning confirm how much space you need and how your people really work, so the design fits the way you operate.

Fit-out to ground-up

We handle interior fit-outs, major renovations and new corporate buildings, plus real estate optimization when you are rethinking your footprint.

Project management in-house

Project management, cost estimating and construction administration are part of the firm, so designers stay focused on the creative work.

Proven with corporate clients

Hixson has served clients such as Paycor, Graydon, Medpace and Skidmore, and works on workplace projects across North America, including Canada.

Sustainable options when you want them

LEED Accredited Professionals on staff can guide certification, energy and water audits, daylighting and healthy material choices.

What our commercial interior design work covers

Hixson tailors each workplace to the client. We look at your culture, how teams work together and where your business is headed, then turn that into space that works today and can flex later.

Design tools include site visits, vision walks, test fitting, block plans and design charrettes, so you can see options before construction documents begin.

Frequently asked questions

Do you build the space too?

No. Hixson provides design and construction administration. We do not act as the general contractor or supply construction labor, but we stay involved during construction to protect the design intent.

Where do you work?

We serve clients throughout North America, including the United States and Canada. Our office is at 659 Van Meter Street, Cincinnati, OH, and our roots are in Greater Cincinnati and the Midwest.

How is pricing set?

Fees depend on the scope: square footage, whether it is a fit-out, renovation or new building, and which disciplines are involved. We publish no set prices, so we scope your project first and send a written proposal.

Can you help us decide how much space we need?

Yes. Our programming and real estate optimization services study current use, model future work patterns and confirm the square footage that matches your individual, team and collaboration needs.

Do you design homes, retail stores or restaurants?

No. Hixson focuses on corporate workplace projects, plus food and beverage plants, pharma and biotech facilities and laboratories.

Can you create standards for several offices?

Yes. We develop and maintain formal workplace standards for furniture, finishes, space typology and IT/AV that can be rolled out across your real estate portfolio, working with your furniture provider.
