A few months back I completed the remodel of the EALL at Colgate. some final task needed completing in that space in regards to wiring, plaster and paint, and at last those aspects are buttoned up and some professional photographs were taken, some of which I’ll share here today.
A new sign has been placed at the entry:
I think it would be nice, one day, to put a new door in there of a suitable nature for the space within.
Let’s look at the Chinese side first:
Following their request, I designed and constructed the bump-out with cusped window frame, along with the internals that allows pictures to be displayed and readily changed out as required. Colgate decided upon the tile type and color, pain color, rug, and furnishings.
This room has a restrained orderly feeling, a place of calm. I like the tones of the materials and light in the space. I think that Colgate made some great decisions in those matters.
I suggested the idea of using transoms to define the Chinese and Japanese rooms from one another. The Chinese side involves a simple lattice pattern in mahogany.
All the joints are mortise and tenon, along with mitered half laps at the crossings, as a matter of course.
A only window to the EALL, save for the offices, also has a latticed window insert designed by me and framed in mahogany and black Cherry.
I was glad the photographer took several close ups:
As we move over to the Japanese side, we can see the hallway now has light sconces, sourced from Japan (made in China perhaps?)
