ABOUT

Melanie Piltch Architectural Interiors specializes in the architectural aspects of design – volume, scale, rhythm of spaces and light - and combines that with the interior design aspects – materials, color and texture. Through creativity and meticulous attention to detail, we develop unique solutions to each design opportunity.

We have been in business since 2012, concentrating on projects in Philadelphia, Eastern Pennsylvania and Southern New Jersey.

"We love working with Melanie. In addition to being very skilled, creative and thoughtful, she works quickly and carefully and always within our schedules. We have worked together at a Horace Trumbauer designed sports club, an English Tudor-style mansion, a Victorian mansion developed into an arts center, and a state-owned canal village in Northern New Jersey, among other projects. We have done seven catering venue renovations together, and we look forward to many more in the future."

"In 2015 I opened a cafe in Broomall called Apple Walnut Cafe. I had a vision in my mind of what I wanted it to look like but did not know where to start. A friend recommended Melanie and from that moment the cafe came to life. She listened, then directed me on every turn. There was no question she couldn't answer nor any problem that was too much. Her creativity has made this cafe amazing.
I would never do any project without hiring Melanie first. She has been the biggest asset to the cafe. I am so thankful every day that we were introduced!"
