FINAL WEEK
This past weekend we made a great deal of progress on site. With all columns, beams, and rafters in place, the main structure was finally completed.

The feedback we got today was probably the most important we have gotten since it was actually on our finalized designs. Also, in the [...]
Charette Time
Today in studio we narrowed down ideas even more since the last meeting with the folks at Redux. We took their responses and narrowed down our focus into five sections. These five sections we narrowed down to are moveable walls, reception desk, bar, stage and outside signage. The way we did this is we would [...]
