A complete renovation of a small office building into a high end restaurant and coffee boutique.  Intended to be a modern take on the relaxed elegance of an old-school country club, the highlight of the design is the scenic hand-painted wallpaper mural from Stark.  A set of vintage Monteverdi-Young chairs was upholstered in a pale blue ostrich print, while custom dining chairs were made in a teal crocodile printed vinyl.  An enormous brass chandelier is set against a sky blue ceiling that makes the wallpaper's sky feel endless.

Conversion of an office space into a small spa / fitness studio focusing on Far Infrared Therapy (FIT).  A warm yet soothing color palette of beiges, browns and golds creates an inviting atmosphere. Punches of deep red add a hint of energizing color while reinforcing the brand identity's color scheme.  Natural elements are provided in the rattan of McGuire seating, the lacquered raffia tables and the wallpaper of brown grasscloth over gold foil.

For the second Lamill Coffee location the colors and feel of the original Silver Lake restaurant were retained in a scaled down retail space that was part of the Bradley International Terminal renovation.  Custom painted paneling, a gray marble herringbone floor and black/brass light fixtures create a traditional note while slick lacquered cabinets, clean white countertops and sleek metal banding under counter add a modern flair.

Clients moved from a contemporary high rise to a traditional 1930's Spanish style house.  Toning down their previous 70's glam furnishings for the warmth of the new house included softer paint colors, swaping some of the metal furnishing for more wood and natural materials, as well as focusing on natural accessories.
