J: The local artisans and craftsmen that we work with – there is such a wealth of creativity here in Manitoba. Q: Who inspires your work?Ī: William Morris and the Arts & Crafts movement, and a lot of the architects from the mid-century modernism era. So that’s a fun challenge, to do it right and respect the existing building. Additions also need a lot of extra care in the design details and construction logistics. You need a whole team of talented craftsmen and tradespeople to pull it off. I love how a successfully designed new kitchen transforms the lives of the homeowners – the kitchen gets used by the whole family several times a day and functionality is the most important in this room. They are the hardest, the most stressful and most involved. I love doing hospitality because of the unique challenges and how powerfully design can transform the user experience and bring people together. Q: What’s your favorite type of project?Ī: Any project where we get to design custom elements like lighting, seating, storage, and use conventional materials in a totally new application. In the same way, being invested in the design pushes us to achieve the highest level of craftsmanship. J: A strong construction knowledge allows the design to be pushed further while remaining grounded in reality. It takes a lot of stress off our clients this way. We include design drawings, engineering, permits, labour by our licensed tradespeople, all materials, and a two-year warranty on workmanship. If a design is not buildable due to budget, structural requirements, or construction practicalities, then it simply won’t get built.Ī: …Or it will get built and it will look nothing like the owners had hoped for! We provide a comprehensive service where we handle the job from concept to completion.
For designers to be the most creative, feasibility is key. Design is the first step of the process, but design must be informed by a solid construction knowledge and open dialogue with all tradespeople.
