ADAC Design Studios Now Open!

We are pleased to announce that the Design Studios at ADAC are finally open! Here is a little excerpt from the press release:

ADAC is pleased to welcome 12 top-tier, hand-selected firms to the newly launched, ADAC Design Studios. 

 

“Opening the ADAC Design Studios allows us to further achieve our mission of bringing product and designers together,” explains Katie Miner, ADAC General Manager. “This is our answer to the numerous industry professionals that requested to work closer to ADAC. The Design Studios are comprised of designers, architects, and high-end, custom home builders who now, because of proximity, can more efficiently collaborate on ideas with clients.”

 

The concept, a work in progress for more than a year, is housed on the center’s fifth-floor and features more than 9,000 square feet of brand-new office and collaborative work space. 

 

“With the success of our designer offices at ADAC West, we knew we needed to take it one step further,” adds Miner. “A main part of the design process is to explore, see, touch, and feel products. This new work environment gives these trade professionals the opportunity to conveniently use ADAC as their sample library which ultimately results in a complete and streamlined experience for the client.”

 

The ADAC Design Studios include:

            Studio A:  Mark Williams Design Associates

            Studio C:  The Design Atelier
            Studio D:  Pritchett + Dixon
            Studio E:  IIDA
            Studio F:  Regas Interiors
            Studio G:  The Jane Group & Troy Rhone Garden Design
            Studio H:  Janus Associates Construction Management
            Studio  I:  Musso Design Group
            Studio J:  The Kenney Group
            Studio K:  McLaurin Interiors

We cannot wait to join our future neighbors in May! We're starting to prepare for the move. If you have any extra boxes, please send them our way! :) 

We hear wedding bells!

We have such exciting news for you!! On Saturday, Emi said "I do" to her husband, Matt! She is officially Mrs. Mason!

Emi was the most radiant bride and her wedding was absolutely beautiful. Her attention to even the smallest of details made the day full of sweet moments and precious memories. The wedding took place in Auburn, Alabama at Auburn United Methodist Church with the reception at Fountainview Mansion. After a heartfelt ceremony, guests headed to the reception where we danced the night away and celebrated with the happy couple.

 Congratulations, Emi!! We wish you every blessing in this new chapter of life!

St. Phillip's Cathedral Antiques Show Inspiration Avenue :: Finished Product

In February, we were invited to be a part of the Inspiration Avenue, a component of the St. Phillip's Cathedral Antiques Show. This year's inspiration was countries and ours was the lush country of Brazil. We gathered our concept from the beautiful Amazon rain forest and we love how we brought the rain forest to Inspiration Avenue! Here are some pictures of our room. 

We loved getting to participate in this event and make some new friends. Thank you to everyone who came to the antiques show and helped make this week possible!

StyleBlueprint Blog Feature

Two weeks ago, Melanie was featured in StyleBlueprint's blog post "Designer Details: Shop ADAC with a Designer." Melanie, along with Clary Bosbyshell Froeba, spent the afternoon showing how ADAC is an incredible resource.

Both Clary and Melanie share how frequently they visit ADAC, events they attend, and their strategies for navigating ADAC for their frequent trips. They also describe the importance of an interior designer, something that's very near to our hearts!

ADAC is such a amazing resource for us to use. As an interior design firm, we can go to one centralized location to pull fabrics, wallcoverings, furniture, and lighting. It serves as a wonderful design community and we've developed amazing friendships with representatives at showrooms throughout ADAC.

Here at The Design Atelier, we love ADAC for all of these reasons, and also because it will be our new home starting in May! We will be in the Design Studios at the Offices of ADAC. We hate to leave the Westside Provisions District, but we know that moving to ADAC will enrich our resource base and allow us to better utilize the showrooms. We are eager to start this new chapter in this new location!
