This morning I went with Amanda, the head interior designer, and Tom, the architectural engineer to a finishing project sight in Louisville, KY. This was very interesting and very informative. The owner was Crossville that would be selling the space to tenant pharmaceutical distributor. The contractor, hired Kovert Hawkins. Tome had designed the building in 2007, and Amanda did the interior finishes. We met with the contractor, owner, and super of the project. The contractor was new to the company and complained about everything and really wasn’t very professional.
The work was also done poorly. The control joints in the tile flooring were done in a bad spot and looked very bad. All the cabinetry was done in light, sort of cheap looking laminate with a pretty solid surface counter top which I thought was kind of weird. But the laminate was also installed poorly, it just didn’t look good. But overall the finishes looked good with color scheme and selected finishes. I learned a lot about the selected finishes that will be helpful to me in the future.
Later I did a color labeled floor plan in Illustrator. I’m getting some practice in the program which is nice since we didn’t learn it.
*I tried to upload pdf's of what I've done, but it's not uploading, their's probably too big.
