Installation Chicago, IL
Our interior design team focused on using design elements and furnishings that would give continuity to this contemporary condominium residence, which featured a curved hallway, enormous floor to celling glass windows and an intimate living/dining room.
The living room was very small, so we created an illusion to make space look larger by incorporating small-scale furniture intimate setting. Modern, warm, comfortable, and inviting color scheme of neutral tones, and soft teal as well as off-white sheer drapery, to achieve and airy open feeling of the space, and to attain the breathtaking view of the city.
"Our goal was to utilize local manufacturers and vendors to reduce CO2 emissions. “ While most of products specified were obtained from locally approved suppliers. Materials used--such as paints and adhesives--were low in VOC (volatile organic compounds).

Is your carbon footprint harming the Earth?
Well, why yes. We are all affecting the Earth, just by living. Each of our everyday actions consumes energy and produces carbon dioxide emissions like taking holiday flights, driving our cars, heating or cooling our homes and offices.
Everything you do has an effect, the question is whether or not your effect is positive or negative. Many people and organizations around the world are changing their lifestyles to save the planet... and the truth of the matter is that altering your life to reduce your carbon emissions is the best way to do that. However, many of us are in a position where drastic changes to the way we live are impossible to make.
But the key is balance. As Sir Issac Newton said, "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction". And that's why you're here, you want to make the lifestyle changes you can, and balance out the things you can't. That's where Carbon Offsets step in.

Consumers are paying for eco-friendly products and services from clothing to housecleaning, but some of the biggest opportunities are on the business-to-business side. Green consultants who help businesses shrink their carbon footprints are poised to grow, as new regulations will increase the need for experts to advise businesses.
