We dropped by IA Interior Architects' Park Avenue South office to catch up with principal Julio Braga (center), here with colleagues Tamar Bradley, John Azinaro, Ali Ucer, and Sophia Yun. He tells us that its most recent project, the 300k-SF Tsvetnoy Center in Moscow, got underway four weeks ago. The team changed the circulatory system design from a department store to an eight-level interior for middle retail brands, and the project will be completed by April '10. Julio says retail's a nice change of pace; they usually specialize in office interiors.

Julio with Susan Leone, Chris Martorana, Mindy Williams, and Sofia Galadza. IA's New York office also worked on Bancolombia's  new 1.2M-SF HQ in Medellin Colombia, which should finish by summer. The project consolidated 15 offices around the city into one, Julio says, and is a long, narrow building containing three cores. Our favorite feature? The rooftop deck, which allows employees to enjoy the country's beautiful weather. In Julio's free time, he and wife Patricia Oris design houses for friends; he's currently working on ones in Massachusetts  and Argentina.
