Transcending the budget

Article Abstract:

Bronstein/Berman photography studio in New York was designed by Kevin Walz on a $38/sq ft budget. Walz also had to make sure that the three photography studios and other rooms retained acoustical isolation while the high-traffic expected in commercial photography needed strength and toughness in the materials used. The original walls, floor and ceilings were retained to save on costs. Walz used low-cost materials such as fiberglass, chipboard and acoustical tile for the furniture and fixtures.

Cool abstraction

Article Abstract:

Austrian designer Hanns Kaim designed the interiors of the CMO boutique in upscale Marin County in San Francisco, CA. The designer captured the multicultural heritage of the owners whose high-end fashion merchandise were sourced from Europe and Japan. The spirit of multiculturalism was achieved with the use of a classic floor plan accented by modernist elements made up of abstracted prehistoric images.
