Projects
Public, sacred & private spaces
Seven projects, written up properly: what the room needed, how it was investigated, which techniques were used and what changed.
Public & sacred spaces
Some of our favourite spaces to work in have been churches, hotels, theatres, libraries and exterior murals. Public work is planned around mood, lighting, viewer angles, average viewing distance and the demographics of the person who will actually be standing there.
Public & Sacred · San Gabriel, California
San Gabriel Mission Playhouse
Restoring the gilded grille, carved ornament and polychrome ceiling of one of the San Gabriel Valley’s great auditorium interiors.
Public & Sacred · Los Angeles County, California
Holy Spirit Parish
A complete decorative scheme for the nave: stencilled borders, painted reredos surrounds, gilded medallions and the Stations of the Cross.
Public & Sacred · La Crescenta, California
La Crescenta Library
A civic mural of the Crescenta Valley, painted for a public reading room and composed for viewers standing close to the wall.
Private spaces
Private and semi-private rooms are transformed to reflect the character of the people who use them — gyms, spas, chapels and devotional centres, master suites, home theatres, powder rooms and breakfast nooks. Retreats, in the middle of a busy schedule.
