Seattle's new micro district

Pioneer Square has had it’s ups and downs. The city itself has suffered a lot in regards to paralytic policies that have resulted in what feels like insurmountable obstacles such as homelessness and drug crisis. For a long while, there was speculation to what would become of the historic city destination.

Thankfully, there have been great strides in preservation of these wonderful brick buildings. In particular focus for this blog post is the renovation project of Railspur. This multi building undertaking has been done with great attention to detail and it has not gone unnoticed.

I had the pleasure of experiencing the XO Art show, this last August. Multiple times. Wonderful artists were curated in a “Love Letters” to seattle theme.

Art Week Miami - Pt 3

Design Week, focuses on Interior Design. Elements from furniture to pottery pieces. We found everything from a peacock feather hammock to bio-dome childlike sculptures.

Art Week Miami - Pt 2

We took hundreds of photos in just a few days. There was so much to look at, experience and consume it was a bit more than mild sensory overload. Here are our favorites. Please reach out if any art speaks to you. We’d love to curate your space.

Art Week in Miami, Dec 2021

Art week in Miami was such a fun experience that it is now on our list of go-to events every year!

Aside from the many mini conventions that were a part of the event, this year was made particularly special because NFT’s are entering into the mainstream as well as the fine art space with quite a bit of fanfare. Digital art is no longer fringe or niche for things like CGI in movies. It is finally being recognized for the unique skill set it is and stands strong amongst more traditional mediums on display.

Every bit of the week was packed with visual stimulation. So much so that it is hard to recount all the wonderful things we saw. That being said, there are two I would like to recognize as particularly amazing.

First up, the wonderful artist, Masako Miki. She is Japanese native, residing in California and represented by CULT Aimee Friberg Exhibitions. Masako’s work exudes joy and fun. Her sculptures in textiles as well as bronze are inspired by Japanese folklore, spirits and our own shapeshifting characteristics.

Next up, we have the Best in Show winner from the Design Week Miami convention - ATRA Form, and more specifically the Resonate Chair. A particular stroke of collaboration genius, the Resonate Chair was designed by Alexander Díaz Andersson and the infused with the techonogly from Resonate. The resulting product is something you must experience. It’s like a float tank for your living room…Or quiet room, in your corporate space.

It’s a meditation chair, but somehow more, as it pulls on all the senses we need as humans to relax. The ergonomics, the textiles, vibration, sound and light control are all working together to enhance your theta waves and melt the world away. We cannot say enough good things about this piece of furniture. It hits our sweet spot for fusion between fashion and technology and it’s executed brilliantly.

Enjoy.

Update - Completed Build/Remodel

We love seeing a design fully finished! This one is full of color pop and personality.

“This 1920s era home needed a major upgrade so we gutted it to the studs and started over.

Everything was upgraded to current code, new plumbing, and electrical. We kept the radiators on the main floor and basement while the boiler system was upgraded completely with new supply lines throughout while the top floor received a mini-split system.

All interior doors, windows, and millwork were replaced to match the existing Craftsman detail. Existing oak and fir flooring were refinished and repaired to fix any squeaky floorboards.

New kitchen layout with mudroom on the main floor. The top floor bathroom was enlarged to a full bath. Existing bedrooms received new closets and egress windows. The basement walls were framed out to add an entertainment room, workout room, and laundry area. “ Builders Portfolio
