A small but subtle project: lobby/ entry refresh at our office building, a 1926 concrete industrial behemoth in the Mission District. Actually there was no lobby or entry space to speak of, just a fire stair with a grim hall and door at the base. We liberated space in adjacent garage and service areas, and used paint and lighting to create a sense of arrival and procession. Grace notes include a felt blade ceiling for acoustics, a super graphic address, an exposed concrete floor (stripped of multiple linoleum layers), and a large photo mural of the Mission. Important to keep the industrial vibe. Cheap and cheery! #interiors #lobbydesign #industrialarchitecture #color #lightingdesign #interiorarchitecture #architecturelovers

Kudos to @ruthie_ferg of @district9neighbors for this excellent op-ed in yesterday’s @sfchronicle 8/29. Pithy & spot-on. And a provocative headline… Please support the Family Zoning Plan put forth by @sanfranciscoplanning and the office of @danielluriesf to make S.F. neighborhoods accessible and affordable. #housingforall #affordablehousing #cityofthefuture #sanfranciscobayarea

A visual ode to the fabulous T-Chair by Katavolos Littell and Kelly. Designed in 1952 for Laverne Inc, its four steel T’s (1 horizontal, 3 vertical), suspend a T-shaped leather sling. Comfy and elegant! Total follow-through of the idea. #lightboxhousesf #midcenturymodern #midcenturymodernfurniture #chair #metalfabricaton #décor #moderndecor #modernfurnituredesign
