Adding a lot of Luxuries into a Little Space

Times Colonist - Hotel ChicIn anticipation of our presentation at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria’s ‘Let’s Talk Design’ series, The Times Colonist has written an article on our recently completed interior design project at the Hudson, here in Victoria BC.

Many thanks to the writer, Grania Litwin, who interviewed us so carefully and really noticed all of the little details we incorportated into the project. She was able to keep the article focused on a strong belief of ours and topic for our presentation: it’s how you put things together, not how expensive they are.

We feel it’s a great representation of our project and teaser for our presentation at the art gallery next weekend – Our presentation is ‘What Luxury Means Today’ and will take place on Friday evening, April 20th at 7 PM – we hope to see all of you there!

Introducing… Michelle Morelan

Michelle Morelan Print DesignMichelle is a fellow designer that we already knew and loved, so when she approached us to design a new identity for her including logo, stationery, social media and website, we were thrilled.

Embracing Michelle’s personality and aesthetic, we created an identity that was warm, modern and clean – yet natural. Michelle Morelan Design is known for it’s West Coast Contemporary and nature-inspired interiors, as well as stunning renderings. The reflected ‘Double M’ used in her mark has been well received as both a bold, modern statement, and as evoking the natural reflections in the lakes and oceans Michelle experienced throughout her life living on the West Coast. This mark lends itself prefectly to creating gemoetric patterns and coupled with the taupes and charcoals we chose, fits Michelle’s style perfectly.

Introducing… TD Swansburg

TD Swansburg Website

Another reason Meade Design Group is considered the ‘Designer to the Designers’: We have recently completed Vancouver and Victoria-based interior design firm, TD Swansburg’s website. We worked closely with founder and principal designer, Teresa Ryback on revamping her online presence to suit her aesthetic.

The addition of a brand new style of menu, soft gradients, subtle animations, and tons of content allowed TD Swansburg to showcase their designs in a whole new way. And the best part? The website was built using a content management system, so Teresa is able to edit and update the website text and photographs herself – including the integrated mini-blog ‘Chronicles’

Small Space, Tight Timeline, BIG Impact!

The Hudson Victoria BC Interior Design Meade Design Group is proud to introduce one of our recent interior design projects at The Hudson Building in Victoria BC.

An international tech company was in need of a suite where their executives could stay in the city without the need to book a hotel. The requirement was to design a home away from home on a short time line.

The executives for this company are mostly men and the inspiration was a masculine lodge blended with mid century modern influences.

Rust oranges, warm wood tones and geometrics add personality to this small space. For accessories we went for a mix of tribal and industrial elements.

Please visit the blog to see more photos and information. This project is also featured within the /showcase/”>’Showcase’ section of our Interior Design Gallery.
