Residential Project
The essence of interior design will always be about people and how they live it. It is about the realities of what makes for an attractive, civilized , meaningful environment, not about fashion or what;s in or what’s out.” Albert Hadley

THE CARVED ROCK
ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENT
Our store focuses on sustainability, ease of maintenance, durability of finishes and branding. Some of the notable architectural features include the outside façade and the gemstone feature wall. The focus on the design was raw, uncut and pristine ideas just like precious stones. This is evident in crumbling and unfinished walls, materials, flooring design and finishes. This design meets requirements by LEED in most of its material selections. The upsell of this design is the exterior walls; cleverly used to display mystery of this divine jewelry store. Our objective behind the design concept was to Create mystery and have a Strong exterior, irresistible not to walk in.

STEWARTResidential RESIDENCE project The RESIDENTIAL design for the Stewarts is focused on Aging in Place, ADA and Sustainability. The focus of this design was to accommodate the client furniture with the new design. The design intent was to make the place ADA Complient and specific to aging in place. This is evident in LED strip lighting under the bed, lever style door handles, contrasting colors in design and materials, no step entry, wider doorways and an open plan system. LEED principles were incorporated by using sustainably designed furniture. Sustainable finishes include Plyboo wooden flooring. Notable architectural features include the custom platform bed and the raised open fireplace. This healthcare project focuses on Evidence Based Design. The biophilic wall keeps the noise level down and also brings up a soothing and healthy aesthetic of the space. The fabrics from Kravet and Haworth act as a great way to absorb noise levels, they are industry standards with double rubs so they are great for industry use. The materials used are significantly durable, safe to be used in this environment and help with Life Cycle cost.
