Robert Pahnke Interiors is a full-scale interior design and architecture firm located in Washington, DC. Robert Pahnke, the principal, has delivered high-end design services to the District and beyond for more than 20 years. Since founding his firm in 1994, Robert has won national and local praise for his corporate and residential designs for political figures, royalty, media moguls, retail franchises, hotels, families, and young professionals. Such clients turn to (and continually return to) Robert because of his expertise as an architect and interior designer, as well as his ability to provide individual attention with a great sense of humor and spirit.
Robert believes it is imperative for his interior designs to complement and enhance the architecture of his client's space and feels that design should not just be about decoration; there should be no divide between interiors and interior architecture. When realizing this philosophy, Robert focuses on the details of balance, proportion, scale, materials, and finish. Moreover, Robert exhibits a discipline rare in residential interior design because of his vast experience in corporate interiors. It is these qualities that have earned Robert’s design work attention from numerous publications, including Architectural Digest, Interior Design Magazine, Washington Spaces and Capitol File Magazine.
Robert not only designs custom furnishings, amenities, and fixtures, but also travels the world in search of one-of-a-kind pieces and accessories as part of his desire to provide individualized service to his clients. This personal attention is the hallmark of Robert’s service and sets the firm apart from others.
Robert holds a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Texas and is a member of the American Institute of Architects. He invites you to explore his design portfolio and to contact him directly if you would like to discuss your specific project.
