Perhaps the most public of all our work is municipal and institutional design. This includes fire stations, educational buildings, healthcare settings such as hospitals and senior living centers, and other public sector work. Heather DeMoras Design Consultants (HDDC) has worked on these projects both as the lead designer and as part of architect-led teams. As a New York State registered Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) firm we are happy to lend our expertise to those projects where such a designation is needed.
"You and your team are the best! I have to say, the firehouse would not look as great as does, if it was not for you!!!"

Endorsements like these spring from our unique project approach. Heather DeMoras Design Consultants worked closely with the Architect on the Enderlin Station to create a facility the community could be proud of. This was done while working within the budget and performance guidelines. Excitement and sophistication don't have to cost extra when experience is on your side.
Heather DeMoras was the Senior Interior Designer chosen to coordinate this project by the design firm associated with the construction of the Rochester Public Library's downtown branch. By building consensus within the library team, Heather helped develop the finish palate, the interior signage, and was responsible for the interior furniture selections, as well as the development and production of the Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment bid package for this 100,000 SF project. Heather worked hand-in-hand with furniture manufacturers to provide custom solutions for the Library's unique needs and ensure a successful project.
Theme concept services help our clients attract the markets they serve. At SUNY Oneonta, the college had been losing its student diners to fast food. Two projects, both designed by Heather DeMoras, helped the institution regain these diners. The Great Good Place Coffee Bar was given its name by students and became a favorite campus hangout. The Dining Hall renovation included in-house branding concepts designed to compete directly with the fast food outlets that had been draining revenue from the college. Both were important parts of Oneonta's efforts to realign its food service structure.
