A recent trip to DC by the Design Team to pull inspiration from the world-class exhibits and architecture—some of which include the very projects we’ve worked on! It’s the ultimate reward seeing the public interact with pieces we have put years of teamwork into for that sole purpose.

Navigating the Forum Hotel is easy—and even easier on the eyes thanks to the high-end finishes that complement the architecture. The custom marble and bronze floor inlay is our favorite detail in this newly constructed boutique hotel at UVA Darden 🎄

When this exhibit, "The Story of Us" by Ézé Amos, came to our attention– we knew we wanted to support it. The large-scale images portray our Charlottesville community who stood up against the hate on that tragic day only five years ago. These stories are shared in hopes that, through art, the community can continue to heal ❤️‍🩹

For many outsiders, Charlottesville has become synonymous with the deadly "Unite the Right" rally. But residents say they are tired of their city being used as a shorthand for hate.
