A sitting area adds a welcoming touch
to the upstairs offices.
HERE was a
need to put
sunshades
on the front
wall, because
of where
“T
it’s facing,” Humphrey says. “I did
some sun studies. During the sum-mer
months it’s going to keep the
majority of the direct sunlight out
of the building.”
Being a franchisee of Benjamin
Moore dictated many of the deci-sions
downstairs.
“The designs come from the
home base,” Humphrey says.
“There’s one wall downstairs that
they paint the color of the year. This
year it was a reddish color.”
With the permission of headquar-ters,
he was able to get a little cre-ative
with the floor and ceiling.
“We could have easily hung
acoustic ceiling tile and fluorescent
lights, but we left it open and the
concrete floor exposed for a differ-ent
aesthetic,” he says. “It’s a paint
store, so it should look a little on
the industrial side.”
