ABOUT CDG

Designing the Future of Thoughtful Living
innovation that cultivates accountability
For more than six decades, Childs Dreyfus Group has partnered with developers, owners, and investment partners to create communities that inspire residents and support long-term success.
Our collaborative approach combines creativity, market intelligence, and technical expertise to deliver interior architecture that performs as beautifully as it looks.
For today’s resident, luxury is no longer defined by high-end materials alone. It is defined by how a space feels, functions, and supports everyday life. CDG designs with that shift in mind, creating environments that enhance the resident experience while supporting long-term value for developers, owners, and operators.
From amenity spaces and model units to full interior design programs and advanced visualization, we help bring residential communities to life with purpose, clarity, and impact.
Strategic Design Partner
The Childs Dreyfus Group was more than an interior design firm. They were a strategic partner in shaping the success of our community. Their early involvement helped us make smarter decisions around amenities, resident experience, and market positioning.
VALUED RELATIONSHIPS – YOUR BUSINESS GOALS are the reason we work to exceed expectations.
We respect your trust and protect your investment as your ID partner by prioritizing your deadlines and keeping your project on time and on budget. We are passionate about delivering a best-in-class product that builds community, attracts residents and promotes wellbeing.
Forging strong partnerships and cultivating relationships with our clients is what drives us – and we believe our best years are ahead of us.
