Executive style

Article Abstract:

Hair-stylist Ishi chose salon specialist Fred Pirkey to design the Salon Ishi outlet in New York, NY, because they can communicate about ideas. Pirkey integrated his own design concepts with his client's requirementsand traditional beliefs and the result is a salon that attracts clientele and features Japanese influences. The main salon featured an innovative design which made use of wood to exude an executive ambience. Feng shui principles, circular motifs and imported Japanes furniture gave the salon an oriental touch. Special consideration for lighting completes the salon design.

Hauberg house

Article Abstract:

Art patron and collector John Hauberg commissioned Olson/Sundberg Architects to make a contemporary and informal design for his house in Washington Park, Seattle, WA. To achieve a natural look, the architectural firm blended earth-based materials such as tile and wood to furnish the house interior. It also alloted space in all areas of the house for entertaining guests and holding gatherings. Instead of using big lights and chandeliers, the interior designer used cove lights to achieve a muted effect.

Article Abstract:

The Club Lux at the SantaMonica Airport features a unique design which combines an intimate atmosphere with an outer space ambience.

The club features a small dance floor, intimate seating areas, a curved ceiling and a circular bar with faux marquetry.
