Conceptual Design<\/h3>\n

What impression do you want to make with your design?\u00a0 In this first phase, we meet with the client to determine what goals or objectives they have in mind. We use techniques such as mood boards and parallel models in collaboration with the client.\u00a0 We then arrive at a several conceptual designs for the client to consider.<\/span><\/p>\n

Design Development<\/h3>\n

From the concept, we create visualizations of your design based on the dimensions of your actual space.\u00a0 Renderings are based on your existing architectural drawings\u00a0 and input into our software for the most accurate models.\u00a0 Thus as-built features are incorporated into the design which produces realistic designs that not only achieves an aesthetic, but also considers any real-world constraints.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

3D Modeling and Rendering<\/h3>\n

Three-dimensional models and renderings are helpful in visualizing what and how the spaces will look like once completed and allows the client to foresee unanticipated issues. We can produce presentation models, colored renderings, photo-realistic computer renderings, and animation.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sourcing and Construction<\/h3>\n

The final step is to build the design. We will source the materials and our fabrication crew will build it. Whether it’s flooring, tile, electrical, paint, or wallpaper, our construction team will execute based on your approved plan. Lastly, we will source the artwork, lighting, furniture, and decorate the space.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Case Study<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

580 Palisade Ave in Jersey City is a mixed-use building with commercial and residential condominiums. The architectural theme combines the look of a traditional industrial building with modern amenities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Challenge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The lobby is a long narrow room with two doors and a passage way in the rear for the elevator. Due to fire code regulations, the doors to the stairwells had to be enclosed by walls.\u00a0 These walls intruded into the center of the room, making the room feel smaller than need be, and created a small alcove next to the door. Furthermore the two doors and passageway created an visual imbalance.<\/p>\n

The solution was to use Japanese modern style cues.\u00a0 Clean lines, natural materials, and simplicity greats the visitors with a feeling of calm and refuge.\u00a0 We used vertical wood strips on the walls which allowed the doors to be hidden, yet still be fully functional.\u00a0 Natural colors were selected to complement the exterior industrial feel without the cold feeling associated with bare metal.\u00a0 The open ceiling was partially hidden by flat black beams, which still allowed access to electrical and plumbing lines for easy maintenance.\u00a0 The alcove was decorated with a stylized living wall, with live indoor plants for both beauty and air quality.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
