🎉 Our team at Visible Proof is incredibly honored to receive the Interior Design Excellence Awards (IDEAs) by the American Society of Interior Designers/ASID - ASID Virginia Chapter and International Interior Design Association - IIDA Virginia & West Virginia Chapter for one of our favorite projects!

Our work on the winning project pictured included a stunning bar, located in the corner of the double height living room, that dramatically connected to an adjacent glass-enclosed wine room by a matte finished white oak ceiling. The exterior of the bar was fabricated by Doug McDonald, a local metalsmith. The front panels feature backlit alabaster tiles that rest into a custom steel frame system. To ensure even illumination, we used an LED panel system which was invented by a local Richmond company, to enable the homeowners the ability to adjust the brightness, color, and color temperature of the alabaster panels.

When your client’s home is perched on the river’s edge overlooking one of the most iconic bridges in the region, it calls for an original piece of artwork that captures the view! Look closely at the piece above the mantel for Richmond artist Andras J. Bality's depiction of the beautiful CSX A-line bridge over the James River. Andras is one of our favorite contemporary representational painters, drawing inspiration from predecessors Bonnard and Van Gogh. He’s known for capturing vistas across Virginia and various other parts of the country with lightness and freedom that transport you to vistas both near and far.

It’s the weekend – put your feet up! Here’s to creating a peaceful place in your home just for you. We always encourage our clients to create a physical space that truly speaks to them, a place they can feel relaxed and reenergized. For the project pictured, we created spaces throughout our client’s home that incorporated warm elements – like blue stone pavers, soft gray limestone, Virginia soapstone, and white oak – to create serene spaces to retreat and recharge. Have you found – or created – such a space in your home just for you?

Happy Monday! As we start this week, let’s all look for ways to be brave, to find purpose, and to help others. At Visible Proof, one way we do this is by seeking out and becoming part of nonprofits that deeply inspire us. Special Olympics Virginia is an example of a pro-bono project that left an impact not only on us, but also the dedicated athletes that regularly participate in the organization. To bring their office space to life we used quotes from the extraordinary athletes and photos of their tenacious training routines to create super graphics throughout the modern space. The result was an imaginative and alluring space that inspired everyone to think differently about the organization that unites these champions.

Inspiration from the ground up! For this special client we took our palette cues from the beautiful produce that inspired their daily menu. In addition to offering the client our integrated design services, the Visible Proof team had an opportunity to also provide graphics, materials, and a unique brand identity system that inspired other properties in the healthy dining restaurant’s portfolio. Because we believe that graphics and branding are an integral part of the overall design of a space, we worked in tandem with Helium Creative in Miami, marrying product packaging and fonts with architectural detailing in the space. We even had an opportunity to develop signage and menu boards to reiterate the restaurant’s commitment to supporting local farmers.

For us, it’s the little things -- like starting your day next to a window as the first rays of sunshine begin to pour into a light-filled breakfast nook. Thoughtfully designing any room in your home to make the most of extra space is the best way to capture those unexpected moments in the day that bring a smile to your face. The breakfast nook pictured here is an example of our approach to design, as it was a meaningful way to create a cozy space for a special client. In fact, we often think of this very spot, and how our client begins each day in this nook with a cup of coffee, as a reminder of the power of the spaces we inhabit and their impact on quality of life. Let us know in the comments below where you like to start your day and if you have a favorite nook!
