3-D Rendering for a Young Facebook Executive

With the help of Graphic Artist extrodinare Mihai Pandelescu we created this 3-D concept for a very small space 9 x 15 feet. My client has a very limited budget and we are shopping the thrift stores and Craigs List to furnish her first apartment.We utilized shiny and clear arcylic materials to expand the room along with floor to ceiling window treatments to fool the eye and raise the ceiling.

Recycle Reuse Repurpose

Salvage yards provide a treasure trove for the clever designer to achieve  the 'Industrial Chic' look. A recycled beam becomes a fabulous console table a film canister a clever occasional table and a rusty hay bailer fork is transformed into a unique piece of interest. Interesting lamps are costly but can be created out of just about anything including rusty waxed fencing. One of my favorite showrooms is 'Coup D' Tat' in San Francisco. It is the front runner of the 'Industrial Chic' look.

Consult a professional designer when ...

• you want your home to express your unique identity and personal sense of self;
• a plan completely visualized from the outset is needed;
• a home where both members of a couple feel their needs and dreams can be beautifully expressed, requiring considerable professional skill to bring about the marriage of ideas;
• your architecture has a clear style and the interior must heighten and articulate the style or period of the exterior.  Everything will "work" not just in appearance but down to the smallest detail that will be seen by even (and especially!) the truly sophisticated guest;
• your life must remain your own. When hiring, supervising and correcting tradespeople, tracking shipments and enforcing quality and deadlines are not how you want to spend your time;
• there is too much money involved in quality materials and workmanship for mistakes. Significant financial outlay  without a plan ensures mistakes. Your designer oversees that you get what you agreed upon -- at the price you you were quoted.  Everyone answers to your designer who answers ONLY to you;
• quality is not negotiable, when you want access to the extraordinary and when only the best from a global (not local) standard will satisfy your taste.
