Keeping Up with Projects

Bob Borson — Mon, 13 Jan 2020 06:01:13 +0000

People outside our profession don't really understand how attached and committed we are to the projects we work on - at least I know this is true for me. I am not simply motivated by my paycheck or the fees we charge our collaborators - these are personal projects and I am every bit as committed to their success as if I paid for them myself.

Interior Stairwell Design and Graphics

Few people love putting together stair drawings, but I think you'll agree that some stairs are more fun to detail than others. Such is the case for the monumental stairwell we've been working on for our Oak Grove shared coworking space. The front of the building was previously a generic spec developer office building complete with ribbon windows and ground level parking deck under the building. From the very beginning, we knew that there were going to have to be some serious changes.

Enter **STAIRAPOOLOZA**
