Get Any Space Virtually Staged or Designed in as Little as a Day

Chef Kiko’s second restaurant in the Portuguese capital of Lisbon is located in the prestigious neighborhood of Principe Real. It opened in 2014 and is minutes away from Lisbon’s downtown and main tourism attractions. The concept grew out of Chef Kiko’s trip “eat the world” where Kiko and his wife literally went around the world to discover different cuisines and find inspiration for their life in the world of food. Before entering, one is struck by the eye-catching exterior doors and windows. They were inspired by M.C. Escher’s woodblock “sky and water” and are made of laser cut cold rolled steel. In the original design by Escher, fishes are presented at the base of the drawing and as they progress upward, they morph into birds. Old Portuguese fish markets where white “Castelo Branco” marble was traditionally used inspired the interior. The same white marble is used throughout the restaurant: A large round marble counter dominates the space and opens onto the kitchen where a marble tub, filled with ice, displays the catch of the day. The walls are covered in white tile and white marble is also used at the continuous blue and white cushioned banquette. The white tile and marble are a sharp contrast to the blue and white patterned hydraulic floor tiles. Suspended from the ceiling is a giant Octopus, specially created for the space by artist Joao Parrinha. The size and color of this sea creature creates a dramatic contrast to the cool blue and white color scheme and it quickly became the talk of Lisbon!

This is the second floor of the newly renovated Lodge 820 building on Frankfort Avenue in Louisville, Kentucky. Forest Giant, a growing software and mobile app development company, now calls this space home. When the building was first acquired, this area was carpeted, dingy and dark. The space was carved into many small offices with tall walls. After much TLC, including new windows, hardwood floors, light fixtures, ventilation and more, this space is now creative, open, healthy and vibrant. It is frequently home to Meetup groups, parties and demos.

Created in 2006 by two advertising visionaries, Pereira & O’Dell is today one of the most influential advertising agencies in the United States. Growth came quickly and today the firm now occupies six floors of an industrial building located in downtown San Francisco. We were asked to create a relaxed, eclectic work environment with open workspaces and no individual offices. There were a few “must haves” dictated by PJ Pereira: crystal chandeliers, an eclectic collection of chairs, and a set of trophy antlers. The largest space, vast with high ceilings, contains two 15 foot long tables where each member of the creative staff has a workstation. Dozens of crystal chandeliers are suspended from the ceiling, an amusing contrast to the starkly industrial space. A mezzanine level decorated with mid-century furniture functions as a waiting room. A large open steel and glass staircase, lit by two giant chandeliers, link the floors of the agency. The many meeting rooms were given different personalities and names. There is the Fireplace, the Interrogation, Dark & Stormy, Eight is Enough, the Growing Pains, just to name a few. The décor of each is consistent with the name! The art and accessories displayed throughout the office follow the agency’s creative concept and include a broad collection of art collected over the years at local markets and exhibitions.
