December 2017

 

Hello Everybody!  Happy Holidays!

2017 is almost done, and it's time for our traditional look back at what we accomplished this year. 
Here are just a few projects we completed in 2017, accompanied by some pictures of the same spaces before they were transformed. A cosmetics store, a crepes kiosk and a car wash may not have much in common, except when they grab the attention of passers-by with their unique design. Read below how we accomplished this, one square foot at a time. 

Want to learn more about what we do?  You can always follow us on Facebook or see interior design news on our Blog.

Truly yours, EKATERINA KOHLWES principal / designer

Beauty Bakerie - A Fun Interior Design Concept

Mixing the concept of beauty and dessert, Beauty Bakerie is a mouth-watering cosmetics store in Westfield Mission Valley shopping mall, San Diego. In creating this space, we used a subtle way of stimulating an appetite for shopping. Set against a vibrant pink, tan and turquoise background, the products are displayed as in a dessert store, in a lush and appetizing display of colors and textures. 

And here is how the project started, see an image below.  The previous store was lacking any identity and had  terrible lighting.

Olala Crepes Kiosk Design and Branding

Designed in the crafty hipster style, the Olala Crepes Kiosk located in the heart of San Diego Liberty Public Market mixes the warmth of wood with that of a brown-centered palette to create a cozy, inviting ambiance. The earthy, rich tones of brown are comforting yet sophisticated, making the customers feel at ease and pampered. We also designed the Olala Crepes logo, as well as their business and loyalty cards in a simple, playful manner that corresponds to the image the business wants to project. 

Below is a before image of the kiosk's location.

Olala Crepes 2nd Location! Parisian Flair

For a second Olala Crepes location in San Diego, we developed the initial concept by introducing French-inspired elements into the design. Brick walls with sconces reminiscent of street lights evoke the cobblestone streets of Paris. Oversize images of famous Parisian sights create the feeling of a French bistro. We turned a narrow, uninspiring space into a charming yet laid-back hang-out place. 

And below is a quick look at the Olala Crepes Gaslamp District location before...

Scoops - The Ice Cream Store by the Ocean

We wanted the interior design concept of Scoops, a hip ice cream store in La Jolla Shores, San Diego, to capture the beauty of the ocean and of this fortunate location. Designed in a chromatic palette that evokes the colors of the sand and the ocean, Scoops mixes rustic and industrial details for a place that satisfies contemporary tastes while remaining warm and inviting.

Modern Car Wash Building Design and Branding

Nobody said car washes have to be boring and uninspiring. Using bold tones of orange and blue against a neutral background, we created a concept that attracts the eye with its surprising details. The design of My Express Car Wash in Compton, Los Angeles area, makes use of perforated exterior metal panels to introduce an artistic element into the mix. We designed the company's logo and business cards in the same colors and with the same modern vibe.
