Let’s take a moment to honor the designs that never had a chance to see the light of day!

It can happen for a myriad of reasons. Budget cuts, timeline shifts, new locations, new design needs etc.

But installed or not…they deserve their moment 😏😉

If we had to do it again, what would we do differently?

Interestingly enough, despite loving this design & how it came out 👌, it had an original design.

We had an internal communication mishap, the original design needed some technical tweaks. It was a beautiful design though. However, due to an internal miscommunication…instead of fixing & updating the original design, it was entirely redesigned.

While it came out absolutely stunning, it caused frustrating delays for both ur team, and the clients.

We used it as a growth opportunity, and cleaned up some kinks in our systems & protocols backend. And hopefully we don’t encounter the same kind of scenario again! And…silver lining…counting our blessings that accidental design 2.0 came out perfect & was well received!

It’s super fun for us when a client who is concerned about durability & budget due to the nature of the clientele…sees a rendering & thinks we designed something too expensive…when in fact…we did not 😎

Getting a higher end look does NOT mean spending a bigger budget.

It boils down to the science & psychology of the design process & what needs to be considered to give you that timeless high end look.

And choosing inexpensive organic materials, applied in a simple way allows for elects do either easily be replaced when needed or, often an even more ideal look when the material gets some wear down.

Another example of how the designing process leads to a high end result without the spend- the light feature in the ceiling. These are possibly the least expensive light fixtures & the labor install here is simple. We designed a grand entry statement light feature for a mere fraction of what a light fixture this size would be if we simply went the generic route.

Design spaces for the minds of those who will use the space.

It seems obvious, and yet…

We often see clients making decisions based on what they want or like. And not what the end user needs or would be drawn to.

Even worse, how often have you seen or experienced a designer making decisions based on their own personal preferences and style and not the clients or end users? We hear about it all the time.

Fun fact, decently often we create spaces that I don’t personally connect with aesthetically. Yet we’ll proudly submit it and install it and showcase it, because we hit the nail on the head with what was needed of that space.

This room is one of those spaces. I never loved the design. But I knew that it would appeal and be functional for the end user.

And that’s what matters.

All you east coast folks I know are with me here, absolutely ecstatic about the weather shift!

Good lord has it been necessary. And with that weather shift, I am even more excited to head out to next week and visit the progress of this new build outdoor amenity!

Unfortunately, it will be a while before the landscaping is in, but it should hopefully be fully functional!

One of my favorite parts of being in Manhattan, is the plethora of beautiful outdoor work, social and workout spots. They are such an integral part of healthy living and building a sense of community. It has been a privilege and an honor to create that for this project.

Drug Rehab Waiting Lounge

This is your reminder that “art” comes in many shapes, sizes & budget needs. Not to mention durability concerns.

We’re a little bit obsessed with the light art feature we custom designed!

Subtle, calm & fresh.
