Simplicity and illumination for a windowless  room

 

An office needed more desks; do they move or hire a designer to improve the space.  They did not move.  The task:  Double the customer service area; improve filing system; improve the break room; keep warehouse dirt to a minimum.  This then lead to renovating the conference room, adding a third bathroom and refinishing floors in two more rooms.

As project manager of all construction I\S.A.Mossblad oversaw HVAC improvements; electricians; carpenters; floor installers and overall construction.

 

 

Transforming a windowless room with concrete floor into a room with warm colors and custom light fixture. A good start to any meeting

 

Custom designed printer area; and employee information area.

Besides acoustical tiles, acoustical clouds were installed in the open office area to diffuse employees conversations.

Open Office and Break Room Plan

Design Challenge:  Double the amount of desks in Customer Service Area with an open feeling e.g. no cubicles while keeping privacy and communication equal.

A Master Bedroom on the North Shore of Long Island provides a serene and peaceful retreat.

 

The cathedral ceiling gives graphic appeal to the balcony doors which reflect the silhouette of a typical Swedish stuga or summer place.  Surrounded by two Benjamin Moore wall colors which sets the mood for a good read inside or outside on the balcony.  There's always  a good night's rest. Paired with a wool tufted rug from IKEA, two granite side benches and white bureaus from Interluebke.

High-end look with a sharp budget

 

It strikes a chord for a small space with high end materials:  Italian oversized subway tiles; glass tile border; retractable mirror medicine chest; and much more.  It's all in the details and the attention to nature's needs and desires.All this at a reasonable budget.

S.A.M. way of seeing goes beyond.

 

Designing all over the world gives one perspective on the world you occupy. Turning what you see into a visual statement.  Communicating with national and international mills and companies requires visual and written specifications with a parlay of business acumen. This experience transfers over to project manager for the VMI Office and Conference room or for future construction and renovation jobs.  The following is a small sample of designs and photographic inspirations in the S.A.M. library of photographs developed during Sandra's Fulbright research grant in Sweden.  Nature photos on website are copyright S.A.M.
