sneak peek: ltl architects + ashley & christine: "
grace and i discovered city owl at the brooklyn flea where were completely captivated by ashley de vries and jim collier’s booth. when ashley told us about this project that she recently completed with interior designer christine dalsass, whose work is characterized by her use of organic texture, fauna and all things vintage, we just had to have a peek. this space houses the offices of the open planning project (topp) – a nonprofit founded by mark gorton, which develops tech tools for mapping and geospacial applications – topp also does advocacy work related to bicycle, pedestrian and mass transit issues. the building is a LEED gold building and ltl architects designed the space to be as eco-friendly as possible. ashley and christine were charged with warming it up! and they certainly did so – with the help of lots of vintage! {thanks ltl architects, ashley, christine and all the folks at topp!} -amy a.
[photo above: We used a globe/mapping theme throughout the office, since it relates so closely to Topp's work. Almost all of the globes we used are vintage and each one is different. There are about 500 globes in the office, and we are always buying more! The lockers are old choir boy lockers from Get Back.]
[photo above: TOPP employees eat lunch together every day, so we needed a lot of lunch seating. We found this great trestle table at Interieurs.]
[photo above: We wanted to make a dramatic statement in the reception area and set the tone for the industrial but cozy feel that defines the office. The old industrial railroad cart coffee table from Interieurs was a great find.]
[photo above: LTL Architects developed the brilliant idea of a wall that is the street grid of Manhattan with a green wall for Central Park. Parker Interior Plantscapes chose plantings that reflect the landscape of Central Park, with low dense plantings for the meadows and taller tree-like plantings for the wooded areas.]
