We Love Conversions

Properties originally intended for one purpose and reconstructed to serve another are the ultimate design challenge.  It stretches us and often provides exciting structures and materials like this church to condo conversion that we provided most of the furnishing for.

You can see the amazing ceiling work that provides drama and background texture and complexity to the project.

While the period structure, woodwork, and plaster transport our minds to another time, the project also offers nooks to create more traditional rooms that receive the extra architectural benefit of unusual ceiling heights or angles and original flooring materials.  One example is this living room that we designed and outfitted with pieces all available on our showroom floor now:

And, every church has a kitchen, and we were pleased to be selected by the room’s designer to add some of the finishing touches:

So, from our point of view, the bigger the challenge the larger the reward.

Power and Simplicity

We were inspired by the simplicity and power in this work by Cambridge artist Michael Mazur.  His dynamic paintings reflect the journey of a man who refuses to stand still artistically.  This particular work reflects a tremendous energy through a minimalist approach.  We strive to create similar impact through clean design for our clients who reflect this sensibility in their design goals.  We come across artists and their works that often move us in ways that inform projects in both planning and execution stages.  We are always on the look out for excellence in design arts and spend countless hours seeking the most profound statements of inspired work.
