Each year we have the pleasure of bringing on a few students who are interested in seeing - and being a part of - the "behind the scenes" of our designs. They come from a variety of schools and different academic fields, but they all share a similar goal: to absorb as much information, while having the best time!

They get immersed into a hands-on learning experience taught by our g4 team, where they are provided with the tools to expand their knowledge in Architecture and Interior Design, as well as give them a better understanding of what they'd like to do upon graduating. 

Let's meet the team!

"Through my internship with Group4, I hope to gain more experience and insight into the field and explore the various facets/specialties of interior design. So far, I have learned a lot about multi-family and its design process from material selection to technical drawings.  I am very appreciative of this opportunity and interning here has been a great experience so far! I am excited to grow as a student, designer, and build relationships with individuals in the field!"

Tools & experiences I've been able to explore at G4: Revit, AutoCAD, InDesign, material/fabrics selection, and building relationships with reps!

"Looking to learn about large scale multi-family construction, and how I can see myself in the future as part of a medium/large sized office in 5 years, 10 years, and 20 years!"

​Tools & experiences I've been able to explore at G4: AutoCAD, Revit, 3D Modeling & Printing, and Blubeam

Group 4 Design is thrilled to announce the 'Best in Multi-family Residential' award that our Interior Design team won at this year's IIDA North Florida Illuminate Awards Gala. 

Altaire at Millenia is a garden-style apartment community with over 300 unique units, located in the heart of a bustling Florida city center and major destination shopping district. The client challenged the team to create a “show stopper” space whose luxury design would grab the attention of touring residents and set it apart from neighboring communities. With the aesthetic defined as “refined lakeside lodge,” the design team set out to create a warm and inviting space that would function as a both an extension of one’s own living space as well as a retreat for its community residents.

Upon entering, residents are ushered into the clubhouse through a grand two-story foyer that provides views to the resort-style pool deck. For productivity, a coffee lounge and co-work space were created on the first floor as a place for residents to grab a quick morning coffee or work “from home” in one of the private co-work studios. A custom 10’-0” long wood live edge waterfall bar table was commissioned as the focal point of this space. Upstairs was reserved for entertainment and includes a private theater with room darkening shades, display kitchen, bar/lounge and game room. The bar and game room capitalize on the lake views with its high ceilings, exposed steel trusses and expansive windows. The finishes and detailing throughout the entire two-story clubhouse convey a sense of luxe sophistication and style while staying on a relatable, human-scale that feels like home. Together, these amenities tell the story of the special and unique experience residents will have when they decide to call this community “home.”

This variety of prospective tenants required a multi-faceted approach to creating an inclusive but unique identity for the property. The clients desire to be at-once sophisticated and laid-back is carried out in the use of blended materials in the finish, fixture and furniture packages. Deep walnut and light driftwood tones are reflected in the flooring and millwork choices, including custom shutter divider screens and the canopy over the expansive pool-facing bar.

- Silver Aurora Award Honor for Best Commercial Project- under 20,000 sq ft

​An 8,000 sq. ft. renovation of a once dilapidated building found in the middle of a vibrant, historical shopping center. With the guidance and approval of the Historic Preservation Committee we were able to create a modern take on this historical storefront. Comprising of 2 adjacent retail shops, we created a light, energizing and refreshing coffee shop attached to a brand new art gallery. The goal for this coffee shop design was to match the atmosphere with a gathering spot for the community.
It was important to create interior spaces that were relaxed and inviting. Setting the tone for the design, high ceilings and large expanses of storefront were incorporated into the main dining room and bar, allowing natural light to filter in and energize the patrons. Playing off this abundance of light, the design team selected a fresh and airy scheme with carefully placed bright accents that tie in with the brand’s colors. The clean, minimalist design highlighted with punches of refreshing color appeals to locals walking through the Shoppes at Avondale encouraging them to stop in to catch up on neighborhood happenings, which reinforces the client’s goal to have the community gather together.
