H2M adds interior design and space planning to firm; Linsky hired as senior interior designer and space planner

H2M architects + engineers has added interior design and space planning to its roster of architectural services. Interior design is a multifaceted profession that includes conceptual development, communication, and the management and execution of the design. Space planning is a critical part of the interior design process, where the design professional hones the program requirements to lay out interior spaces based on function for people and process, and then later adds the equipment and furniture. "As the firm and our client base grew, we started receiving more requests for interior design and space planning services," said Joe Mottola, H2M's director of architecture. "We always want to provide a complete range of services for our clients, so we saw tremendous value in making this investment." With the addition of the service, H2M has brought in Allison Linsky as the firm's senior interior designer and space planner. She joins H2M with over 30 years' experience as an interior designer, and has an established record of accomplishments in corporate and commercial space planning, interior design, and construction. She was most recently principal of Woodbury-based William Allison Design Associates, Ltd. "I am excited for the opportunity to help develop H2M's interior design and space planning department," Linsky said. "When you are able to build something from the ground up, with a company of this size, you have unlimited potential." Linsky will be working with H2M's three architecture studios to integrate design concepts, materials and details, and furniture and finishes to each project. Linsky holds a degree in fine arts from Syracuse University and another in interior design from Fashion Institute of Technology. She currently resides in Syosset with her son, Cooper, 15.
