Creating Memorable Experiences

Interior Design is a vital element in shaping our understanding of the spaces we inhabit across our everyday lives. It is frequently the element of an architectural design that people notice first. Good interior design sets a mood, it provides a curated set of discoveries, it tells a story.

As an architectural and interior design practice, we love telling a good story. Frequently these stories tie into the mission of the our clients. Across all these projects, in close collaboration with our clients, we strive to unlock an underlying narrative, translate it into physical form, and elevate a project through a cohesive set of interlinked moments—balancing the details while still focused on the big picture.

Our interior design projects span across many different market types, including mixed-use development, multi-family residential, retail, workplace, and hospitality (hotel and restaurant)

The Pensacola Little Theatre is a non-profit community theatre that has been providing diverse theatrical experiences in Northwest Florida since 1936. But this Center serves more than theatrical needs, and the idea of a renovation was realized as the solution for communicating those services to the community and potential visitors. The goals for this design and renovation were to revitalize and modernize the building from the inside out and to engage the community through a renewed sense of both storytelling and cultural education.

Interior Environments
Interior Environments

Part of the modernization efforts for the renovation, the addition of the rooftop terrace sought to celebrate the community aspect of reestablishing a center of culture in Pensacola. This addition includes new lounge and patio areas, as well as a small performance area for music and other entertainment, shows the importance that connection plays in this design.

Providing opportunity for community members and visitors to converse and enjoy the warmth of social connection allows the Center to be important to the community outside of just theatrical engagement. Physically, the rooftop terrace is both warm and open, with touches of natural elegance and “swankiness.”

The $1.8 M project spans two floors, the ground level designed as a small French patisserie where guests can enjoy a small treat or cup of coffee in an intimate setting, and the second floor dedicated entirely to the restaurant service and fine dining. Each area is distinct in terms of planning, yet consolidated in a cohesive aesthetic scheme courtesy of herringbone flooring, dark metal finishes and the light/airy ambiance of the space overall.

Interior Environments

Until recently, this 800-seat theatre venue in downtown New Orleans persisted as a shadow of its colorful days filled with stage performances, music, and vaudeville. Today it finds new life, reborn through a painstaking process of revitalization and restoration.

New program elements included multiple bar venues and lobby/waiting areas, along with larger, upgraded restrooms. These spaces are enclosed within a variety of glass surfaces – a mix of clear, frosted and mirrored glass fitted with an ornate, layered pattern inspired by the original plasterwork found throughout the building. The multivalent textural contrast of these new spaces establishes a romantic, ephemeral aesthetic that transitions the guest into the language of the historically restored performance space.

Interior Environments

For the original Beaux Arts interior, we stabilized the current condition of the theatre and embraced the beauty found in the imperfect, the incomplete and the impermanent. Existing plaster was retained and repaired, and the entire original interior was provided a soft, matte whitewash to reveal the intricacy of the historic detailing.

There is also thoughtful attention to sustainability and beautifully restrained interiors, creating a complete project deserving of recognition.”

The design seeks to convey the ethos of the company in using simple materials elevated by detail and craft and provide a modern workplace designed to ease the work/life balance. This can be found in the numerous amenities throughout. While the ground floor warehouse extends to the property line, the second floor steps back, providing occupants with an outdoor terrace that takes advantage of panoramic views of the activity along the Mississippi River.

Our Process: Engaging & Collaborative

ENGAGE: Ask Questions and Imagine Solutions

Our team utilizes a collaborative, partner-driven method in building consensus:

» Early in the design process, we work with your stakeholders in identifying the type of look and feel necessitated by your space.

» We hold workshops, incorporating various visual taste tests, so your organization can be integrated in developing a vision of your space.

DESIGN: Visualize the Outcome

Once the conceptual framework is established, we continue to collaborate with you to develop spatial alternatives responding to your vision:

» We produce floor plans, renders, sketches, and computer models to communicate design ideas for your review. We’ll test decisions for compliance with your budget.

» By the end of this phase, you will have a clear understanding of the final product.

DOCUMENT: Prepare for Construction

The importance of documentation is to communicate design solutions to everyone involved in the process (your organization, bidders, contractors, vendors, and regulatory authorities):

» During this phase we integrate architecture with engineering and document compliance with codes and regulations.

» The construction documents include technical drawings, written specifications, and diagrams to depict precisely how things fit together in assembly of the whole.

IMPLEMENT: Deliver the Vision

After documents are completed, we’ll take the lead in getting your permits, helping you select a contractor, and finalizing the budget:

» During construction, we act as facilitator, connecting your people with the contractor, advising and recommending, interpreting documents, and reviewing samples and shop drawings to ensure that everything gets built as it was designed.

» We will join you at the jobsite to review the progress of the work and keep an eye on the budget and schedule on your behalf, ensuring you receive the product you purchased.

EVALUATE: Verify Successes and Lessons Learned

We’re firm believers that our relationship doesn’t end when the contractor turns over the keys:

» Our specification standards call for a formal walk-through within a year of completion. From this, we’ll issue a report about findings that can be used for warranty claims if needed.

» We’ll monitor your energy consumption data and make recommendations.

» We’ll listen to your management, marketing, operations people and help design alterations about what can be improved.
