project date: 2010 general contractor: Jesmac Incorporated designer: Thomas Wright
Scope: To fabricate, finish, and install all wood components as per construction documents provided by the general contractor. As is common with most projects, design changes were made "on the fly". New parts needed to be constructed without plans, and installed quickly to keep the project on schedule. This project started out being the proto-type for what was to be a chain to salons located throughout Rhode Island. Aaron Usher Photography
project date: 2010 general contractor: Discovery Group designer: Discovery Group
Scope: To fabricate, finish, and install all wood components as per construction documents provided by the general contractor. The project required the renovation of the first floor lobby for an eleven story medical building located in Providence near Rhode Island Hospital. The construction documents for this project were all but non-existent. Many of the design elements were talked out on site. Models were created; changes were made before the final components were fabricated. Clients wanted to use the lobby to create a "wow factor" in order to fill vacant space on other floors. The style and feel of the lobby was modern, crisp, and clean. The palette of finishes included maple wood stained in a light color for all the millwork, maple veneer for the wall paper, and copper metal for the reception desk. Panels were created using wood & wood veneer for the elevators. Aaron Usher Photography
project date: 2009 general contractor: Thy Food Group designer: Thomas Wright
Scope: To fabricate, finish, and install all wood components as per construction documents provided by the general contractor. As is common with most projects, design changes were made "on the fly". New parts needed to be constructed without plans, and installed quickly in-order to keep the project on schedule. Many of the fixtures created in our facility had material supplied by other subcontractors participating in the project, such as glass, countertops, and lighting. The challenge was to get their materials, most of which was special ordered, and incorporate it into our work. Having been part of the first 1149 restaurant located in Warwick, we had a good understanding of what to expect. This project was a renovation of an existing restaurant, formerly Bickford's in Seekonk, Massachusetts. Being the second location of a proposed chain, it had needed to resemble design elements present in the original while offering a different experience to patrons who frequented both.
