Orlando interior design, built on completed work across Central Florida

About HH Designers and our work in Orlando & Central Florida

Central Florida is where our Florida practice is most concentrated. HH Designers has completed 19 projects across the state, and a substantial share of them sit within an hour or so of Orlando: the Eden Gardens community campus and its mikvah in Orlando itself, the 100,000-square-foot AVIA Skilled Nursing Facility in Leesburg, Azalia Marion Health & Wellness Center in Ocala, two projects in Lady Lake at the doorstep of The Villages, Carlton Shores Health and Rehab Center in Daytona Beach, and Ocean Crest Health & Wellness Center in West Melbourne on the Space Coast. This is not a market we are introducing ourselves to. Our work here is built, occupied, and operating.

We are a commercial interior design firm with a national footprint — 21 states and more than 60 million square feet designed — and we bring that scale to Central Florida with the specifics the region demands: AHCA licensure requirements on healthcare projects, Florida Building Code compliance, and material specifications that stand up to inland Florida’s heat and humidity. A fuller tour of the completed work is in our journal article on Orlando and Central Florida projects, and the statewide picture is on our Florida page.

In and around Orlando we design senior living and skilled nursing, medical offices and outpatient clinics, hotels and restaurants, multifamily communities, retail, and community and religious buildings. Every project runs through the same structured process and ends with a complete Spec Book — drawings, finish schedules, and FF&E documentation a Central Florida contractor can execute without ambiguity.

Senior living & skilled nursing on the retirement corridor

The corridor running from Ocala through The Villages, Lady Lake, and Leesburg toward Orlando holds one of the largest concentrations of retirees in the United States, and it keeps growing. The senior living and skilled nursing demand this creates is not abstract to us — it is most of our completed Central Florida portfolio. Lady Lake Specialty Care and Lady Lake Health and Rehab Center serve The Villages market directly; AVIA in Leesburg and Azalia Marion in Ocala anchor the corridor’s two ends; Carlton Shores in Daytona Beach and Ocean Crest in West Melbourne extend the same work to both coasts.

Across these projects the design brief is consistent: skilled nursing and assisted living environments that read as hospitality rather than institution, because in a market this competitive the tour decides the census. We plan therapy gyms that motivate rather than intimidate, dining rooms that operate like restaurants, resident rooms with real material warmth, and nurse stations that keep sightlines open without dominating the floor. Our skilled nursing and assisted living practices — and our Florida healthcare page — cover the approach in depth, including how we document for AHCA plan review.

Community & religious design in Orlando

Orlando is home to two of our completed community projects: the Eden Gardens campus and the Eden Gardens Mikvah, a 5,000-square-foot mikvah completed in 2023. HH Designers has designed more Chabad houses than any other interior design firm, and the Orlando work shows what that experience produces — buildings that hold a shul, social and educational space, and ritual facilities in one coherent design language, executed with full fluency in the halachic requirements and built to welcome people who may be walking into a Jewish building for the first time.

For congregations and communities planning in Central Florida, we bring the same discipline we bring to Chabad work worldwide: patient collaboration with rabbis, boards, and donors; renderings that help committees decide; and documentation that keeps a volunteer-governed project on budget. Examples from across the portfolio are collected in our article on Chabad design.

Hospitality & the tourism economy

Orlando’s tourism economy is among the largest in the country, and it supports a hospitality market that runs far beyond the theme parks: convention-district hotels, resort renovations, the restaurant rows of Winter Park and Sand Lake Road, and the food-and-beverage build-outs that follow every new entertainment district. We design hotels and restaurants with the durability and service-flow discipline that continuous, high-volume tourist traffic demands — interiors that hold their finish level through year-round occupancy, not just through opening week.

Central Florida hospitality also overlaps with our healthcare work in a way most markets never see: senior living operators here compete for residents who arrived expecting resort standards. The crossover shows in our portfolio — several of our Central Florida healthcare projects carry hospitality-grade lobbies, dining, and amenity spaces precisely because this market demands them. The statewide view is on our Florida hospitality page.

Medical offices & outpatient care

Between AdventHealth, Orlando Health, and the research campus growing at Lake Nona’s Medical City, metro Orlando has become one of the Southeast’s significant medical markets, and the care model keeps shifting toward outpatient settings: medical office buildings, specialty clinics, ambulatory surgery, therapy suites. We design medical offices and outpatient environments around clinical workflow first — intake, throughput, infection control, staff circulation — and patient calm immediately after, in that order, because a beautiful clinic that bottlenecks at check-in fails everyone in it.

Several of our Central Florida projects already combine skilled care with attached medical office and specialty-care program — Lady Lake Specialty Care is structured exactly that way — so we arrive knowing how Florida’s licensure categories and code occupancies interact inside a single building.

Multifamily & master-planned communities

Metro Orlando’s population growth keeps the multifamily pipeline full, from downtown towers to garden communities across Osceola, Seminole, and Lake counties. We design lobbies, amenity packages, clubhouses, and model units that lease buildings — programmed against the actual renter profile rather than a template, and specified with contract-grade FF&E built for Florida’s climate and year-round outdoor use.

We also work at the scale above the single building. HH Designers is currently master planning a 4,000-home community in Okeechobee, in south-central Florida — an ongoing engagement that covers the community’s amenity and civic buildings as well as its residential fabric. For Central Florida developers and landowners planning at that scale, it means one design intelligence can carry from the master plan down to the finish schedule of a single clubhouse room. The deliverable at every level is the same: a complete Spec Book your builder can execute.
