Custom Commercial Work

We take our opportunities to work with architects and designers very seriously. We understand the time, effort, and dedication it takes to bring a design to fruition; to bring all the moving parts together for a vision to be realized. We are creative, have good ideas and are eager to work with other creatives. But we also know when to shut up and just meet spec. If you want our contribution we are happy to oblige, but if you don’t, know that your ideas and specifications will be respected and met on time. Rest assured that you are in capable hands. Dirty hands; but capable.

This was a massive project for a local coffee shop. They were wanting something true to the material used. All the concrete was old school formed with rebar reinforcement and wet cast with industrial concrete. The counters were so heavy the floors had to be reinforced before casting. #commercial

This is a local Izakaya and Ramen House. This was a great project because we were able to utilize waxed steel and concrete in a variety of ways. This is a beautiful space that leverages the individual nature of the materials to great affect. Here the bar was centered between the old concrete supports and surrounded by the new concrete counters. Old meets new. #commercial

“Architecture has its own realm. It has a special physical relationship with life. I do not think of it primarily as either a message or symbol, but as an envelope and background for life which goes on in and around it, a sensitive container for the rhythm of footsteps on the floor, for the concentration of work, for the silence of sleep.”

““Today, when so much seems to conspire to reduce life and feeling to the most deprived and demeaning bottom line, it is more important than ever that we receive that extra dimension of dignity or delight and the elevated sense of self that the art of building can provide through the nature of the places where we live and work. What counts more than style is whether architecture improves our experience of the built world; whether it makes us wonder why we never noticed places in quite this way before.” ”
