is all about

Function Form Feeling Space People

Professional interior design influences far more than how a space looks. It shapes how people experience, use and feel within the built environment. OSID supports and advances design professionals across BC’s Interior who bring together creativity, technical expertise and human-centered thinking to create spaces that are functional, meaningful, and designed to perform better for people.

We are a progressive community of over 85 professional interior designers shaping BC’s fastest-growing regions.

GET TO KNOW OSID

Bridging Vision, Expertise, and Community.

Great spaces are created through collaboration. Clients, professional interior designers, architects, engineers, builders, manufacturers, suppliers and trades each bring essential expertise to create environments that are functional, safe, and code compliant but that are sustainable and responsive to the people who use them.
