Located in Santa Fe
New Mexico, this
garden center takes
in to account historic
guidelines and the
local culture. The
interior is designed
as a refuge from the
desert climate
featuring cascading
waterfalls among an
array of native
plants. The space is
intended to relate to
the native culture in
its materials from
copper to stone.

4. The bright and inviting
interior atmosphere
extends to the
restrooms where
repurposed tile is used
as an art statement that
reflects local color
themes. Sky lights allow
for an abundance of
natural light improving
navigation and reducing
energy cost. Low flow
toilets and a waterless
urinal lowers water use
and the entire space is
ADA compliant with
ease of access and
egress for all users. The
flooring is practical non-
slip that cleans easily.

Designed to encourage patrons to
remain and take refuge from the
outside elements, the Café offers a
place for all to relax. This concept
further encourages customers to
engage and interact more with the
staff and take in the full scope of
what the garden center offers in
the way of products and
merchandise. The area is flexible
with tables, chairs and stools that
may be moved in to a variety of
configurations for events such as
receptions, horticulture classes,
special gatherings and meetings.
The bar surface is blue marble
resembling native geology as are
the green stone table tops, flooring,
pendant lighting, and the stone
accent wall. A wide range of
lighting is used to enhance the
space.

6. The office is all about the need for
an abundance of tasks associated
with this kind of business. A large
commercial copper sink is
necessary for prepping plants and
quick clean up. The unusual angle
of the room is purposely created to
encourage thought and the large
desk countertops developed for
different work activities. A
consultation table with stacking
chairs is in place for meeting with
clients, employees and vendors. This
is a quiet area detached from the
main store to focus on business
uninterrupted. The semi transparent
panels for the water wall plus the
sky lights offer increased natural

lighting is strategically placed above
work and clean up areas to best

The idea behind the media room is
to transform a conventional space
that represents a distinct Art Deco
look and feel offering the
convenience of modern technology.
Adapting the interior includes a mix
of contemporary and antique
selections. Lavish and upscale is
the driving force for this high-end
residence. Every consideration was
given to the characteristics of the
style from the wide use of
geometric stained colored glass to
the extensive application of
rosewood most closely associated
with this period. Heavy geometric
molding clarifies the space and
modern media devices are available
for use but do not conflict with the
overall surroundings. A combination
of old and new.

balance and imitate a more refined impression. A
large leather contemporary sofa offers comfort
and practicality for engaging guest in
conversations. Useful table tops are durable and
easy to maintain avoiding stains , scars and
scratches.

designed for easy configuration
changes, simplicity and durability.

decay, struggle and hardships linked
to its modern culture. This is

space for today that is
harmonious and calming.

that fostered this

are some of the terms
allied with this design
strategy. Carpeting,
acoustic ceiling panels,

surface materials and
ergonomically functional
