3-Story
Mixed Use Building Remodel in Sausalito
Daniel
Merriam's New Gallery
One of the most incredible projects we had a chance to work on this
year is the remodel of this 3-story mixed use building for the new
owner, a world renowned artist Daniel
Merriam. It was an exciting opportunity to work next to a talented
artist and to follow his vision for the "Bubble Street"
gallery on the waterfront of Sausalito, CA.
These
are two renderings of the new design for the building facade on
565 Bridgeway, Sausalito, CA.
As
you can see on the BEFORE image below, the existing brick facade
(circa 1981 building) was completely redesigned to illustrate Daniel
Merriam's artistic style. Additionally the new facade will enhance
the historical waterfront of the world famous Sausalito. Daniel
Merriam personally provided hand drawn details of the building's
elements (see the image below) as we worked on the construction
documents for 2 different building permits. The facade went through
a rigorous design review process and the approval by the Sausalito Planning
Commission in collaboration with the local Sausalito architect Michael
Rex. Currently the building is under renovation.

The
interior retrofitting of the Bubble Street gallery is almost finished
and the facade will be completed in the first half of 2012. If you
are planning to be in San Francisco next year, please visit Sausalito
and tell us what you think.
Restaurant
Design in San Diego - Crown Buffet
Crown
Buffet is a new restaurant buffet style where you can satisfy most
food cravings. Crown Buffet offers food from America, Mexico, China,
Japan, Italy, Armenia and Russia! It's a family-oriented restaurant
and required an appropriate style for all of the above factors.
Mindful Design consulted on the overall branded look for the restaurant.

Warm bright colors were proposed to create a cheerful and at the
same time internationally appealing style for the dinery.

Action
Coach Office Design in San Diego
Mindful
Design Consulting helps businesses with office branding and interior
remodeling drawings. A new office for Action
Coach needed a fresh identity. We worked together with Stacey
and Chris McKibbin to add their personal touch to this business
coaching space. We tried to create a fun educational environment
for their clients. This was an inspiring little project! Thank
you Stacey and Chris at Action Coach!

Yogurt
Shop Rebranding in Shanghai, China
This yogurt shop in Shanghai desperately needed
a new branding image to transform the interior. Our client wanted
something distinctive to attract attention in several locations
around the city. We created a sweet creamy feel with the flowing
shapes of the walls, ceiling and even the counters.

We picked banana yellow colors for the overall
theme to add joyful feelings to otherwise white store. To add
even more fun we applied images of geometric colorful flowers
on acrylic wall panels.

On the image below you can see one of the small locations
of Yolick in Shanghai before our redesign.

Residential
Design Projects
This
year we've completed a few exciting residential projects as well.
We would like to give special thanks to everyone who loves our
style and who wanted to work with Mindful Design Consulting simply
because you enjoy our creativity.
