BEFORE AND AFTER: Madrone
The transformation of an old clubhouse into one that merges the indoor and outdoors spaces into one.
The clubhouse at the Madrone Apartments was in much need of some TLC. At the initial concept stage we knew we wanted to emphasize the architectural assets such as the vaulted ceiling and large windows that looked out to the lush landscaping, not to mention the great pool.
The concept that we landed on with our client was “Camp”. We wanted to evoke a feeling of comfort by using a lot of texture with moments of the great outdoors. Given our concept the backdrop was light warm wood, bright white walls paired with raw and textured materials punctuated with green accents such as the Heath tile at the fireplace. To make sure it didn’t end up looking and feeling flat, we added small accents of orange and vintage rugs and pillows for added pattern and texture.
We hope you enjoy looking at the before and after as much as we do.
We love transforming spaces!
BEFORE AND AFTER: Metropolitan
The Metropolitan Apartments amenities in San Mateo were in dire need of a facelift. The dark stone, wood, and floors were oppressive to the residents, so we aimed to provide something bright and refreshing. In the clubroom, we started with a clean, white backdrop featuring an epoxy floor and Benjamin Moore’s Decorator White walls. We then added a custom acoustic green ceiling, bright accent furniture, and a warm oak wood wall to punctuate the space with vibrant, welcoming elements.
For the conference room, we removed all the dark, visually heavy built-in casework and started with a fresh white backdrop. We replaced the dark elements with green shelving and incorporated bright accent furniture to create a lighter, more vibrant space.
