           In our current Sausalito location, we continue to service the hospitality industry. Themed projects and a variety of design solutions in the hospitality industry become our trademark. Many of our projects are done in concert with multiple offices and project teams. We believe that being a team player is essential to the process as well as achieving a successful project. Because we strive to create a unique look for each project, we are experts at achieving the customization of all materials at the price-point needed. Our knowledge of manufactures and what our vendors are capable of, enable us to provide a service that is on time and in budget. The maintainability aspect of each project is critical in material selection so the project can withstand the element of time.
