Colorhouse

Location:

Providence, RI

We came up with a color scheme to make the most of the beautiful details of this historic treasure, and worked closely with the painters, masons, and craftspeople to complete this exterior renovation.

Waterhouse

The addition of a wrap-around porch and terraces stepping down to a pool gave this family beautiful and functional entertaining spaces which frame a stunning view of the Mount Hope bridge.

Townhouse

The 70’s kitchen in this house was refashioned as a cook’s kitchen, with a baking island and space for casual dining. A china cabinet and plate racks, as well as shelves which span a window are among the custom details.

Lit Arts RI

A quiet co-working space in an industrial building near the train tracks in Providence. The challenge was to provide different types of comfortable spaces and seating for writers, from extroverts who like a bit of noise to those who require silence and a studious environment. There is also a podcasting space which requires sound dampening and other acoustic conditions, as well as a Training Room, a Conference Room and two telephone rooms for zoom calls. We created a collection of rooms with good acoustic isolation from one another and quiet ventilation and air conditioning. Each space has a unique character using color, art, wallpaper and murals as well as custom cabinetry. The main space has a custom office for the organization’s managers, which features display shelving for local authors’ books. The “Quiet Car” (named in honor of the proximity to the Amtrak line) has custom writing nooks with shelving and sit-to-stand desks to allow flexibility in seating.
