Wellness Area Design

An exciting project we are currently working on is the design of a wellness area for an existing client. Here we had a lot of creative freedom overall, with a few requests from the client which included a sauna and a whirlpool. For our concept we decided to go with colors and materials inspired by Sylt, which is an island in the German north sea. Therefore, the color palette contains beige and blue tones. Inspiration from Sylt can also be found in elements such as our feature wall with a wave like texture as well as the water feature that runs straight into the whirlpool, which seats 4 people. The overall layout of the space can be seen below in the furniture floor plan.

Upon entering the space, you have the Whirlpool on the left hand side along the wave wall. To your immediate right is the bathroom, which includes a shower. Around the corner, you will find the Sauna, which has a glass front, allowing the client to see the rest of the space while enjoying the sauna. The client is also able to wind down and relax on the round lounge seating with a canopy, with a view of the whirlpool and water feature. For the lighting, we decided to go with a fixture that closely resembles bubbles, bringing in more of the water like qualities. We also included some spot lighting along the wave wall, interspersed between foliage common to the north sea. Wouldn't you love spending time here after a long day at work?

The European Platform for Equine Residences

Combining my passion for horses with my expertise in design, I'm now consulting Equine Residences on their European projects. This role allows me to seamlessly integrate my love for equestrian life into my design work, ensuring that each project meets and exceeds our European clients' needs and tastes. It's gratifying to create spaces reflecting the unique bond between horses and their owners, while embracing the elegance and functionality that define European design.

Equine Residences’ priority is to bring mindfulness, health, joy, quality, and value to your project. We stand by our designs to create a space that is functional, comfortable, and worth the effort it took to get it done. We love to find creative ways to bring secondary uses to the space and make every project a financial benefit, rather than an economic drain. Equine Residences cares as much about creating value for our customers as we do in creating great spaces.

Equine Residences is a full-service equine facilities design firm. We partner with clients early on to assist in finding the perfect property, conduct a thorough site layout, and design the entire stable from the ground up. We have relationships with many vendors in the field and keep our fingers on the pulse of new trends in the equine world.

Equine Residences will collaborate with our team and you to develop site and master plans, along with landscaping and plant plans, to determine the optimal location for your barn and facilities on the property. This is to ensure proper airflow, water efficiency, and the well-being of the horses. Our goal is to maximize the land's potential while being mindful of costs.

Our renderings are detailed to the last beam, door handle and tile. We utilize our renders to give you the ability to "see" what your project will LOOK like upon completion, but also aid the procurement process and quicken the deliverables and scope work for all involved. From us the designers, to the builders and subs, and finally the vendors contracted, our photo-real renderings keep everything on track visually and financially.

Hotel Bar Design

For our Hotel Bar Project, we were asked to renovate an existing Bar/Restaurant space in Stuttgart, Germany. Before, it had a mixture of colors and textures that did not come to a conclusive design aesthetic. However, we wanted to keep some of the color scheme, as it had to compliment the neighboring room, which was to remain the same. The Hotel Bar is located near the airport, so we took that into consideration when planning the space for the customers needs. We wanted it to be a place where people can enjoy a drink at the bar as well as some food, either alone or in a small group. For this, we planned banquet seating along two of the walls as well as two larger tables in the center for a maximum of 4 people, and a Bar height table for 5 guests. As far as lighting, we chose two main lighting features in the center of the room in an oval shape, mirroring the shape of the tables below and pendants for the surrounding smaller tables. For a feature piece, we used a great material which is an intricate chain-link hanging curtain at the entrance to the bar. On the remaining walls, we applied light wooden slats, as well as a greenery feature wall and a tall chalkboard by the bar. The bar itself also has wooden slats. The ceiling was dropped down along the edges of the walls, and above the bar. See the dotted line below on the Floor Plan. We had fun planning this project and implementing interesting wall features and lighting to make this airport bar inviting and interesting!
