Apartment Breakfast Nook Banquette
Clients approached me with the goal of creating a custom built-in to serve as a dining nook as well as a art display/storage unit. With the challenge of creating an intimate space within a lofty apartment, this build created useful space in what was previously the corner of the existing kitchen. Downlights allow for direct lighting while a hidden LED strip washes the ceiling, providing moody up-lighting that illuminates the entire room.
Poet’s Bedroom Build
Creating a custom bed for a writer meant integrating gooseneck reading lamps as well as ample book storage at an easy reach. Utilizing rift sawn white oak veneer, this bed contrasts well with the original hardwood floor and transforms an otherwise simple dwelling space into a quiet respite from the bustling city. Indirect up lighting allows for dimmable ambient light to wash the ceiling without having a bulb in view. Concealed outlets and night stands with storage drawers allow for all the conveniences one would want in a bedroom.
Story Fort - Center for Storytelling and Arts, 2022-23
Preserving stories, big and small, is how history is remembered and tradition is recorded. Asheville, is an artist hub with hundreds of maker studios and galleries. Although the region focuses on visual arts, there is no strong community for film makers, documentarians, and story archivists. The goal of the center is to create a national hub for storytelling, focused on providing a campus for teaching, making, and sharing films along with spaces that foster collaboration among like-minded artists within the western North Carolina community. The center will also become a beacon for artists in the River Art's District [RAD] to meet, collaborate and gather, while helping to preserve the creative district within the city.
