Worked with the owners of a design/build firm to create open and closed workspaces and a unified feel for this renovation.
A balance between art and functionality was achieved in this lively as well as practical design.

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.
