Fin-Arch

It doesn’t mean anything. It’s the name the company has given to this space.
Thanks! So what does the name mean? Is "Arch" the abbreviation of "Architecture"?

That is something only the creators of that name can answer, you have to get in touch with Woods Bagot if you want a correct answer.

I get it. Thanks!
Hi, everyone!

Does anyone know what the word "Fin-Arch" means in the following webpage: Woods Bagot New York Studio | Woods Bagot. It's related to interior design.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I think both FIN and ARCH are used as abbreviations. Thus, the company name was created.

FIN stands for Finished or Finish in Architecture. FIN Meaning in Architecture
ARCH is short for Architecture as @translatoryang said or Architect or Architectural. ARCH Meaning in Architecture

Thus, an abbreviation of a name such as Finished Architecture or Finish Architect may have been used.

More likely "Fin" is short for Financial, as the studio is situated in the middle of the Financial District in New York.
Or it could be short for Finnish, since they were perhaps inspired by Finnish design. Or perhaps the space was designed by Fintan O’Sullivan and Archie McDonald.
As we said before, the only way of knowing is to ask the company : otherwise we’re simply guessing.

Thank you for your detailed answer! "Finished" is a good guess. However, according to the text and pictures on the page, the interior style is not very finished, and can even be described as deliberately unfinished. Nonetheless, your answer gave me much enlightenment.

Thanks! "Financial" is a good guess and makes sense.

Thanks! My guess is "Finnish" too.
