Interior design
FOX was honored with the Pinnacle Award at the IIDA Mid-Atlantic Premiere awards last night!
This project was a great collaboration with many teams internal & external, with special attention for FOX's incredible in-house graphic design team. They are experts in creating a holistic branded experience & applying it to & embedding it within the physical structures. It's a wonderful collaborative & integrated process & result.
Many thanks to Kim Resnik for talking with me about patterns & some of the new interior design trends for spring!
Spoiler alert: mixed metals, oversize exotic florals & what I like to call "natural brights".

FOX was invited to build a prototype spec suite in an otherwise unassuming office building in Crystal City - one of the many recently vacated by government tenants. Challenged with creating a workplace that was an innovative, smart & flexible, the design focuses on collaboration (both within the office & with other locations) and flexibility - ideal for start-ups & satellite offices.

I really enjoyed this article about the founder of Airbnb (which of course I love) & his understanding of how design influences an entire business' structure.
“Then we thought “What would magical feel like?” and that’s how we approach design problems.”
It's wonderful to see Christian Sottile - a mentor (and hero, really) of mine in graduate school & an all-around wonderful human being getting some much-deserved recognition. His designs are sensitive, intuitive and human.
Excited that the Washington Post highlighted Rothwell, Figg, Ernst, & Manbeck PC for “Surprising Office Spaces.” A great client & a fun project - so happy they're enjoying their new space!
And here it is, folks ... the best explanation of our profession I've heard yet, from Gem Barton, over at Archetizer ...
“An interior architect with good training can fully appreciate and instigate the passage of utility and human interaction through studies, charts, and mapping, making precise predictions and choreographing the light, the access, and the materiality to achieve the desired goals.”
