ounded in 1992 and dedi- cated to the integration of architecture and in-
terior design, CDA&I Archi- tecture and Interiors, Ltd. of Philadelphia celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. CDA&I was established by architect Cecelia Denegre, AIA, IIDA; her husband Joseph Denegre, RA, joined as her partner in 2002. CDA&I is a full-service, city- and state-certified WBE pro- fessional design studio located in Center City, Philadelphia. The firm merges the expertise of professional architects with the skills of experienced interior designers in a single studio to provide seamlessly integrated design services. CDA&I’s work can be divided into projects for learning, living, and working, or more specifi- cally, academic, residential, and corporate/institutional interi- ors. These categories are also essential aspects of the firm’s design philosophy. “Every day, we learn through our life and work experiences,” says CDA&I founder and prin- cipal Cecelia Denegre. “Our projects reflect this belief and are informed by the depth with which we understand our cli- ents’ specific needs.” From updating existing fa- cilities for institutional clients – as in the case of repurposing dining facilities at the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania into student administrative offices – to contributing to widespread neighborhood transformation – through pro bono design services for organizations in- cluding the Community Design Collaborative – CDA&I has a proven ability to think about long-term value, context, and community.

CDA&I incorporates the latest sustainable tech- nologies for exterior envelope stabilization, balanced natural and artificial lighting, environ- mental controls, natural venti- lation, acoustic comfort, and the use of sustainable and durable materials. Firm members hold LEED accreditation for both new construction and commer- cial interiors.

One of the firm’s strengths is its intensive pre-project plan- ning phase, which encompasses everything from investigating client aspirations, inspirations, and objectives, to studying build- ing systems, site constraints, and existing conditions. The firm uses questionnaires, in- terviews, site visits, and cost estimating to fully understand a project’s specific parameters and opportunities. This process identifies a design direction and realistic budget before any drawings are prepared. CDA&I’s design team thinks West Philadelphia High School, Philadelphia, PA
