THE FUTURE OF DEVELOPMENT THROUGH DESIGN
Interior Architecture—where vision shapes spaces
To label The Childs Dreyfus Group (CDG) as simply an architectural or interior design firm understates its expertise. With deep roots in model home merchandising and experiential staging, CDG has helped shape the evolution of interior architecture and merchandising for over 60 years. As pioneers of the discipline, CDG’s founders established the original merchandising criteria adopted by the Institute of Residential Marketing, a foundation that still guides top-tier developers, builders, and real estate professionals today.
Since Rene Pabon became president and CEO in 1993, CDG has evolved from a niche model merchandising firm into a full-service interior architecture partner serving mixed-use, multifamily, student, and workforce housing developments across 18 U.S. markets. The group’s work goes beyond design—it shapes environments that connect emotionally with people and perform functionally from day one.
