Hows It Bean

When a client comes to us and says they want their new coffee shop to have a "cabin like outdoorsy feel on a budget." That statement may seem like a daunting task to other companies but at Douglas McClentic Architect we love a good design challenge! Our design took the client's idea, used the elements in the build and treated them with forms and finishes that gives the abstract feel of a cabin in the mountains. This was done while maintaining a budget the client could live with. This project just goes to show that you can still get great creative design in an affordable manner. We listened, We brainstormed, we delivered!
