Interior Design
If we need something they're there for us!"

Cornell University - Boyce Thompson President's Suite
The President's office needed an update of new furniture, finishes, and lighting while improving the function of the space to include both an office and a casual meeting area. A new contemporary desk system, in natural maple was selected to accommodate files and workspace while a sofa and chair were located in the corner to provide comfortable space for meetings. The lighting was upgraded to an indirect fixture that created a soft and efficient light source for the office. A decorative pendant was located in the meeting area. The Administrative Assistant's office was completely renovated with new coordinating furniture that accommodated a large amount of filing as well as a work surface. The colors were all shades of green and taupe.
Genesee Regional Bank
This office building serves as Genesee Regional Bank's corporate headquarters which needed to function as both private offices as well as space for company-wide collaboration. After creating Architectural CAD drawings for their new space, we completed an assessment of their existing furnishings. Vargas Associates determined the best scenario for re-use of furniture for open plan cubicals, hard wall offices, and conference rooms. Genesee Regional Bank was able to realize significant savings with the furniture solutions that our team recommended for their new lcations including the purchase of new furniture for Senior Management offices, the Executive Board Room, Conference Rooms, the Main Lobby, break room and waiting areas. The furniture and finishes in their new space present the environment of a successful banking operation with a flourishing future ahead.
College of Human Ecology Conference Room - Martha Van Rensselaer Hall, Cornell University
This conference room is used by the faculty and staff of the College of Human Ecology. One of the main objectives was to create a video conferencing room. The rooms lighting and the ability to completely block out natural light were key components in the design of the room. Beautiful draperies with black out lining were installed on an automatic track that could close with the touch of a button. Custom millwork was designed for storage and catering. The room was finished in neutral colors with black accents.
Vargas Associates Company Offices
Vargas Assocites is a dynamic compnay that specializes in Facilities Project Management and Interior Design. The first office for this growing company would bring employees from their virtual offices together under one roof. It was important for this space to reflect the capabilities of the professionals that make up the firm. Prior to the extensive renovation, the space was divided into two seperate offices. Our Interior Designer prepared a floor plan that joined the two spaces creating an open and collaborative work environment. The company used their history of best practices to secure build-out materials and furnishings that resulted in a cost-effective renovation and a productive environment for the staff. Vibrant paint colors, interesting carpet design and beautiful abstract art work define this creative and professional office space.
Corridor and Stairwell Renovations - Martha Van Rensselaer Hall, Cornell University
The University requested an update to the corridors in conjunction with departmental relocations and renovations. New terrazzo flooring was designed with colors to coordinate with the existing floors throughout the building. All new ceilings and lighting were installed. Custom designed benches and interesting architectural details were also added.
