Design in some ways is identifying a problem to solve. The problem isn't always negative, but a need for the evocation of emotion or feeling or a story. These images highlight some design installations that solved the problems presented through the use of woodworking.
El Vado - Abq
El Vado was the location of one of the oldest operating motels on Route 66 and after an extensive update and remodel, the brewery located in the space needed a piece that would be and olde to its history in a contemporary context. The resulting is a series of license plates old and new refigured to represent the road people and energy of the towns Route 66 serves.
El Vado - Abq
Another aspect of the remodel included updating the motel rooms to boutique standards. The walls were to be decorated by local artist and photography. I designed 20 wall pieces using the original doors salvaged from the hotels demo days.
Sawmill Market Abq.
The Historic Sawmill neighborhood saw a large update to its building rezoned and designed as a Food Hall. The east entry needed an entry wall as an homage to the sawmills history while visioning its future.
