No lie - I have designed an office for the Trumps! My friends Matt + Alicia invited me to come see their home office and get a sense of how they needed that room in their home to function on a higher level for them. I measured and photographed the room and drafted the space in 2D and 3D to begin the process of forming a concept that would allow the room to operate and appeal completely different from its state at the time, without requiring much construction or labor.
I settled on proposing an "industrial chic" concept for their office, especially since Matt is an extraordinary welder. This included a design for a custom-welded shadowbox desk (which Matt constructed after reviewing my shop drawings), a custom-welded sewing desk/station with built-in shelves for storage, tall floor lamps to flank their west-facing window for ambiance and tertiary lighting on this focal wall, and a very different color scheme from the rest of the spaces in their home. I wanted this design to suggest a comfortable working space, while being highly efficient in terms of storage, while remaining under budget. The paint scheme included painting the trim a brighter white and laying a light warm grey as a base coat on all the walls, accented with 3" wide stripes of a slightly darker shade of warm grey in a scattered pattern that accentuates both the height of their 9' ceiling and allows the room to appear larger and more spacious.
