Baker Publishing Design Project

In 2013, I was asked to be apart of a design project for Baker Publishing Group and worked alongside Dan Vos Construction Company. My role was as the Interior Designer and this project centered around taking existing facility space and transform it into a visually exciting Board Room and Lounge Area, Galley Kitchen/Serving Area, as well as a separate area for a Calling Center with Private Offices. Here are a few photos showing the finished project.

Galley Area
 

 



The finishes and colors were inspired by nature. Rich wood tones were combined with stacked stone walls and custom-created glass panels in the entry doors and free-standing back-lit architectural glass panels.

Lounge Area for informal meetings and gatherings.

Artwork was added to complete the design.

 

Great design emphasis was given to adding dimension and drama. This was achieved through color, contrasting textures, patterned carpet, and a variety of lighting sources. Specifically this was achieved with a ceiling pendant task lighting, recessed bulkhead lights for general room illumination, adjustable spot lights were used for the architectural glass panels that were also back-lit with LED strip lighting to create a "interior window", and wall wash lighting was used to emphasize the stacked stone walls, and recessed lights washed the built-in cabinetry and shelving wall surrounding the media wall. 

I was very proud to be apart of this wonderful project, and to work with the fine people at Baker Publishing Group.
