Scott Marchio joined Cornerstone Architectural Group in 2020 as Senior Architectural Designer, bringing 25 years of industry experience with a specialized focus on corporate interiors and workplace design. He is a unique and creative problem-solver who melds art with utility, to inspire overperformance.  

Scott's expertise and passion centers on workplace design because it touches multiple aspects of the industry, moves quickly, and impacts people on a personal level. He takes budgets seriously and prides himself on delivering impressive results through inexpensive details, believing that true creativity shines when resources are limited. As both designer and project manager, he knows how to value engineer solutions in the field while maintaining design intent when challenges arise. His approach combines fresh perspective with lessons learned from previous projects, always working to understand the root of each client's needs.  

Among his notable projects at Cornerstone is the 10,000-square-foot Ramboll office in Princeton, where the team incorporated inclusive, universal design concepts extending well beyond standard accessibility and sustainability. The design addresses visual and auditory privacy in open plans, ergonomics for activity-based work areas, and embraces neurodiversity in today's workplace. Scott has also maintained Cornerstone's decade-long relationship with SHI across 500,000 square feet of corporate interiors, earning trust through attention to detail and exploring opportunities for growth and flexibility. The Mendham Police facility, a 10,000-square-foot new construction project, stands out as particularly meaningful work, bringing a department that had operated for years in inadequate facilities into a purpose-built space, on time and under budget.  

Scott previously served as City Center Co-Director for the IIDA PND Chapter in New Jersey from 2011 to 2015. Outside the office, Scott enjoys writing, music, and spending time with his wife (a professional cookie artist), and their four children. As Scott puts it, his favorite project is always the next one, filled with potential and new opportunities.
