Parker's Alley Place, Stockton, California
My current restaurant client and I did a preliminary
walk-through of his almost completed space. He said with a big smile, "you
are a very avant-garde designer - beautiful," I have heard the term before, but had to
look it up. “Avant-garde (French pronunciation: [avɑ̃ɡaʁd]); from French,
"advance guard" or "vanguard"[1]) is a French term used in
English as a noun or adjective to refer to people or works that are
experimental or innovative, particularly with respect to art, culture, and
politics. Avant-garde represents a pushing of the boundaries of what is
accepted as the norm or the status quo.” [Wikipedia]
I will take that compliment any day of the week. I ALWAYS
design every space with a little bit of fun and excitement. I want you to walk
in and smile. Look forward to albums and videos of the work in progress and the
finished coffee house.
