Dwelling 3918 _ Interior Shots

We are working away on 3918, I’ll be posting some design images soon of what we plan on doing with the place.   In the meantime here are some pictures of the interior of the house as it currently looks.   The first floor shots look move in ready, they fail to show how uneven the floors are.   Some significant issues have come up with the existing structure, mostly how the first builder failed to install load bearing columns in the proper places leading to some severely sagging floors.

The second floor photo’s have some great character.   I can’t wait to rip that plaster out and see whats behind it.

The third floor is huge and is going to remain largely open, making a few modern interventions is in the cards.  That large tank you see is the original water tank for the house, or thats our best guess.

Dwelling: 3918 Holmes

Studiobuild’s latest project is our largest and most challenging to date.   We are currently in the design phase of the project we will roll into construction sometime in late May 2010.   A super tight budget and a large list of structural issues are a major challenge.  3918 Holmes 1

Fold Furniture Line

Here are some photos of the Fold Furniture Line we recently completed for our clients in Wichita.  The series consist of a media center, coffee table, and end table.   Constructed with solid Walnut and solid Maple.  More photos of the shoot will be posted in a few days.  We felt it was necessary to test out the bar with the clients.

Custom Desk for Jose Bautista

Another office of custom furniture we built for  Jose Bautista at SBMAC.  Simlar in construction technique and material to DA’s desk.   We were originally challenged to designing office furniture to compliment a classic Eames 670 Lounge Chair and Ottoman.  The concept of the chair was abstracted and a series of wooden boxes was bolted to metal framework.  All metal work was provided by Heckert Sheet Metal.  The metal finish is a combination of powder coating and a simple Linseed Oil Finish.  One interested feature is the hidden licquor cabinet accessed by touch latch for the times when a celebration is in order.

Racing Trophy for Anthem Media

Here are some photos of the completed Trophies we built for Anthem Media Group.   The Trophies were commissioned as a holiday gift for Scott Tucker, he recently won his division at the SCCA National Championship Runoffs.

A few facts about the Trophy.   The base of the award is made of an integral color concrete composed of a mix formula to simulate asphalt.   The concrete was the work of our collaborator / concrete doctor   John Kevern.  The red portion of the trophy are solid Maple painted a high gloss Ferrari Red by the guys at Louisburg Auto Body.   The center spire of the trophy is covered in a carbon fiber veneer.  The aluminum plates were produced by Overland Park Awards.
