About Us
ARCHIV is an independent editorial platform dedicated to the systematic documentation and analysis of interior design styles applied to public spaces.
Our Mission
ARCHIV exists to bridge the gap between interior design theory and public space application. We believe that the quality of public environments — offices, libraries, restaurants, community centers — directly impacts human well-being, productivity, and social cohesion.
Our encyclopedia maps 21 established design styles across 15 public space types, creating the most comprehensive cross-reference resource available for architects, interior designers, and urban planners working on public-facing projects.
Editorial Team
Our content is produced by a team of design researchers, architectural writers, and data analysts with combined experience spanning commercial architecture, sustainable design, and design education. We combine quantitative sustainability data with qualitative design analysis to provide actionable insights.
Data Methodology
ARCHIV draws on interior design classification databases, material specification libraries, and urban sustainability indices. Our combination pages synthesize data from multiple research sources to generate unique, data-driven design guidance for each style-space pairing. See our full methodology for details.
