Not every project that we design is produced in our studio. Often we develop designs and working drawings for projects that are built by other craftsmen.

For Architects and Decorators we can design the pieces that complete the spaces that they have developed with their customers. We can produce the details and drawings that bridge the vocabulary between designer and craftsman.

For the individual owner we can completely develop the project , starting with the layout within the space to the final details and construction documents. Of course each project is different but all include a discussion of goals and desires, a design process with multiple options, exploration of materials, and the production of construction drawings with specifications. We feel that each project is an adventure in design that hopefully becomes an interesting and enjoyable learning experience.

Please examine the examples below where we show the types of drawings that we can provide for your project. Designs can be executed traditionally on paper or electronically on our CAD program.

This is a proposal for for one of the congregations that was housed in the “Temple Sinai” complex in Pittsburgh Pa., The design for the “Bima” assembly: The Ark, Podium, Torah stand ect. was accepted by the board of directors just a few weeks before the infamous shooting occurred. Though this design was never completed; other projects were commissioned for the new location. I have included this very exciting design as a memory to those who perished.

We designed a built-in hutch that bridged the detailing of the table into the architectural vocabulary of the house. Maple,painted white; African Mahogany; Etched Glass.
