residential architectureFranklin Studios understands what it means to stand out from the crowd. We were recently hired by a chef from the Beverly Hills Hotel to design a completely sustainable grocery store. Our firm has a scientific background, a major asset when dealing with things like building structure and energy saving techniques and equipment. And because we are Los Angeles architects with engineering as part of our undergrad education we understood the components of what it would take to make this grocery store run.

We also understand how context shapes expectations. When designing an Asian restaurant called called Tengu on Ocean Blvd. in Santa Monica, we wanted to highlight the location and recreate diners’ expectations. Foregoing the traditional dark woods and palette of the sushi lounge we offered clean black on white minimalist tones to focus not just the inside surroundings, but outside as well. The result was a chic, open dining experience.

When deciding on interior decorators Los Angeles, choose architects in Los Angeles who understand what materials and design make your project stand out from the others, who know what context and surroundings determine, and who aren’t afraid to go against the grain to present you and your clients with something totally extraordinary.

 

 

lounge designAmbiance makes a big difference to mood. Let’s say you try a new restaurant. You heard from a friend that the food is great and the service is fast, so you make reservations for Friday night. You arrive at the restaurant to find it fairly crowded, but you are surprised. The walls are painted beige, the wood flood is unvarnished and the chairs and tables are cheap plastic patioware. Minimalist chic or not enough money put into a restaurant designer? I bet no matter how good the food is you wouldn’t return for another meal.

Or worse, let’s say you work in an office without a window, in a grey cubicle. You can decorate it how you want, but by the end of the day, you will probably be thirsting for color and light. Your employer should have taken into consideration some residential design. I bet you’d want to quit.

Space is very sensual. Texture, music, shadow, scent — it all goes into making an area attractive. If you skimp on lounge design or a restaurant designer, you will see the repercussions. And pay heed: expert interior decorators Los Angeles do exist and they can do a better job than you.
