Description

Designed under the creative direction of Dean Levin, Principal of 22RE OFFICE.

The design takes queue from the high ceiling space, bringing the attention upward to distract from the tight space from wall to wall. The material palette is inspired by Japanese architecture with combination of vertical grain douglas fur, stainless steel, and glass blocks. The cabinetry is designed according to the required product display number and storage provided by the client. I created as-builts, construction documents, passed electrical and structural permits alongside the electrical and structural engineers, followed through with the construction on the drafting side and work with fabricators until completion.
