The blue accents applied to furnishings provide an

The blue accents applied to furnishings provide an additional layer of depth as a secondary, monochromatic palette that is folded into the architectural finishes. The wrap design and wood details on chair selections echo the soft curves and subtle shifts in architectural features throughout the space to further enhance the holistic visual. Articulating this palette was a very soothing experience and we are absolutely thrilled with the final result to be shared down the road! For now, please enjoy the timeless vision brought to life in the featured rendering. Check out the link in our bio to see more! [ 3 / 3 ]

To find what your definition of timeless is on a p

To find what your definition of timeless is on a project, you should hone in on what design elements have the most significant impact to your client and your space. For this project, the use of a neutral undertone for the wood, white millwork throughout, and neutral, textured floors with destination influence were the most impactful elements. They are simple finishes applied in varying and interesting ways throughout the space to make them momentous for users, but adaptable for the future. The overarching, monochromatic palette was by design to provide a clean canvas to feature the food and all of its color and texture as employees surveyed their options. [ 2 / 3 ]

The action of defining a "timeless interior" is in

The action of defining a "timeless interior" is inherently a subjective notion, but when one is created everyone experiencing the space can feel it. A timeless interior could be defined and executed in many different ways, but a truly timeless interior has a presence that is inviting and layered; upon final install, it will look curated yet cozy.

A renovation in one’s space signifies the need t

A renovation in one’s space signifies the need to create change; sometimes for growth, or to accommodate a more focused space, or to respond to a specific need. This project on the @brightpointccva campus was sparked by the school responding to an increased demand in the workforce for health care and technology graduates. We partnered with @gp_architects to respond to that need and with what recent years have brought; it couldn’t have come at a better time! While schools evolve and respond to shifts in educational demands— we are ready to respond with space planning that supports new ways of learning and upticks in specific fields.

By definition, texture is an element of design tha

By definition, texture is an element of design that defines the surfaces of shapes and forms. We play with it on horizontal and vertical planes, and add in pattern for emphasis. Design is based on such a layered balance that when you look at a space and something, “just feels off,” it’s because an element across all of those planes that your eye is taking in is off balance. We ~love~ to figure out what that special element is to plug into a palette and bring everything together... Figuring out all the parts and pieces of a palette is like putting together a puzzle that you first have to find all of the pieces for.

The pictured project lives on Radford University’s campus and was developed following discussions and workshops we partook in with the university regarding how design and furniture influence collaboration levels and analyzed the best way to implement that in their buildings. Our role on the Hemphill Hall project was to program the beautiful building @moseleyarchitects designed with furniture to help carve out a space within a space. You can see how the integration of the furniture of privatized booths create a focused niche in a busy, voluminous lobby. As designers, it is our role to ensure furniture enhances the function of a space and appropriately select pieces that support the activity an interior.

This project challenge was to meet the need for ad

This project challenge was to meet the need for additional and varied work areas without any architectural changes (utilizing only new furniture and finish solutions). In order to do so effectively, we used activity-based space analysis to communicate the intent with the client and eventually to the end user. We studied the space in a gradient of color to convey activity and noise level and then translated that graphic into a furniture landscape ranging from heads-down individual work to small group media collaboration. The accent color of each zone reflects the level of activity and noise, subtly prompting behavior. Scroll to the end to see the graphic and gradient that was translated into the final install. Thank you to our partners @rvacornerstone for their collaboration on this project! To learn more, check out the link in our bio!

We’re nuts about this design! Retail is always a great opportunity to learn all about a business and their product. We planted lots of seeds of inspiration throughout this design process and it grew into this beautiful installation! We can’t give you the whole story here, but in a nutshell, we dug into the story of @whitleyspeanuts to determine how best to interact and display their product. Let us know if you’ve gotten to check this local store out! Thank you to our partners #engineersplus!

In honor of National Dog Day, we are sharing two of our fluffiest co-workers, Holly and Banksy, who's biggest role is to keep everybody smiling. We are proud to be a dog friendly office and love the liveliness it brings to the work day. Banksy is a big fan of lunch and learns and would like to thank all of our friends of KSA for supplying her with so many good smells. Holly, our newest co-worker, knows she's cute and would like to thank everyone for telling her so. We hope you all get the chance to meet them!

This project was a great opportunity to really explore different types of workspaces for employees. For this area, we worked with Austin Brokenbraugh & Associates. We’ll be sharing more on this project in the future, but for today we thought this zone was a great way to highlight how texture and dimension can bring a space to life. The pattern play on the floor and upholstery carry one’s eye through, but we didn’t forget the ceiling! The acoustical baffles paired with the new lighting array create a geometric shadow on the wall reminiscent of the booths. This lively area sits right outside a row of offices to become an impromptu breakout space. What do you think of how it all comes together?
