construction office lobby: a peek

so, i have been working on the lobby of a construction firm

for the last little while. i originally suggested a series of 6 or 9

large, framed abstract photos taken on construction sites

for this wall of the lobby. 

when the cost of framing turned out to be way over budget,

a collaborative meeting between myself, the vp of construction, 

and the design/build manager, turned up a much more

interesting and cost effective method.

(one reason why i am a firm believer that collaboration with the

client always turns out a more personal, and unique solution!)

we ultimately decided to mount the photos on three panels of metal screening.

this metallic "screen" is used to separate rocks at the

company's rock pit. the photos will be sandwiched in between

wood and glass, and mounted to the screening with a bolt at each corner.

 we will be using three different gauges

of the screen...the first panel will be the largest, 

and the last will be the smallest, 

with the medium in between.

i stopped in the office on friday, and the screens had been mounted.

i was super excited! 

can you see the difference in the gauges of the screens now?

the vp and design/build manager have done a fabulous job of bringing

our design vision to a reality! check out those bolts that are holding the 

VERY heavy screening to the wall. aren't they incredible?

 as soon as the photos are mounted, 

and the rest of the furniture is received, 

i will share some more pictures with you.
