Charlotte Design Team Helps Re-locate NYC Client to Winston Salem

NYC Client, Winston Salem Contractor and Charlotte Interior Design Team Work Together to Master Communication Between Different States

Weekly progress conference calls and email/photo updates were key to the success of this Royce Too project. Formerly located in the Empire State Building in the middle of Manhattan, Royce Too decided to re-locate their main office to Winston Salem, NC. The main objective was to create an inviting and collaborative environment. Every one on the team, including Barrett Woodyard’s engineering team, Cassidy Turley’s project manager, Landmark Builders’ team, and the rep at Meadows Office Furniture, were dedicated to making this new location a great space for Royce Too.

“We truly appreciate the efforts Studio Fusion undertook on the Royce Too Corporate Office project. The team was focused, creative and highly professional throughout and kept to a tight timeline and within budget. The superb design of the space and the furnishings reflects the attention to detail that was brought to the project. All of us at Royce are thrilled with the space and look forward to future projects together.” – Barbara Rosenthal, VP & General Counsel, Royce Too LLC

Modular Arts Helps Accent Showcase Realty’s Brand in Uptown Charlotte

Studio Fusion’s Recent Office Upfit Exceeds Expectations

Showcase Realty, LLC. is increasingly growing and recently found the need to expand their existing office space in Uptown Charlotte. With the help of Barringer Construction, Studio Fusion completed a modern and unique space for Showcase, within schedule. By updating the office space, Showcase’s main objective was to create a more modern space that would “showcase” their brand. With an existing mezzanine level and “touch down” work stations, Studio Fusion worked with new finishes to modernize the space. Finishes, such as an award-winning design carpet tile, larger scale floor tiles and natural stone surfaces, were incorporated throughout the office to update the work environment and meet the needs of their busy, on-the-go realtors.

The modularArts InterlockingRock Panels, utilized in the reception area, makes any clients’ jaw drop as they walk through the doors. Since the existing reception space was at a smaller scale than most upfits, the interior design team needed a design element that would give a large visual impact without taking up a lot of room. The pattern “Dune” in the color purple was incorporated from a basis of the curves in Showcase Realty’s brand logo.

Another main design element that was used to modernize the space was LBL Lighting – Piattini, which incorporates Swarovski crystals in the lights.

Former Farmer’s Market Re-Shaped into Historic Apartment Building

Luxury Apartments & Lofts in Uptown Shelby, NC are Almost Ready for Occupancy

Where there once was a Farmer’s Market, now sits the construction site of one of Studio Fusion’s recent projects – Farmer’s Market Historic Apartments. Built in the early 1920s, the brick building on your right is the location of a former Farmer’s Market on Warren St. in Shelby, North Carolina. Located a block away from Lafayette Street, this apartment location provides numerous uptown restaurants and shops in walking distance for the residents.

Wade Nichols, Executive Director of the Uptown Shelby Association, says this apartment project is “a wonderful thing.” Nichols explains that there is a need for more apartments as most of the residential units in the uptown area remain full.**

Projected to be finished in May of 2012, this project will consist of 12 total apartments, a skylight, and possibly a roof-top patio. Including one and two bedroom apartments ranging in size from 1,300 to 1,800 square feet, there will be 6 apartments on the top floor and 6 on the bottom floor. In order to give off the luxurious yet still historic vibe, the hard wood floors are re-claimed/re-finished and the living rooms feature exposed existing brick walls.

Quoted in the Shelby Star newspaper, Mayor Ted Alexander seems very excited about this project. “That particular building has a lot of charm, a lot of character,” says Alexander. “Its original windows, old flooring, it’ll make really nice apartments.”**
