As architects, our passion for design is rooted in the idea of a complete and cohesive design concept for each project. When selecting materials, we carefully consider factors such as overall aesthetics, functionality, environmental impact, and budget.
Material boards are used to demonstrate how the selected finish materials will ultimately come together to create a harmonious, balanced and soothing design.
Sometimes, it requires exploring multiple color schemes to enhance the overall palette for a project. The White Oak samples above demonstrate variations in custom stain options for cabinetry.
At times, we ask contractors to provide stain samples to aid in our selection process. For example, we specified a low-cost stained Pine plywood for a ceiling installation that required several custom stain samples. The samples were helpful in making the best selection for the space.
