UNIQUE INDOOR SPACE
FIRST PLACE
Conanicus Office, Alexandra Crecelius, Alex Interiors
Alexandra Crecelius understood the assignment when her Jamestown clients craved a W Hotel vibe for their home. With walnut paneling, brass coffee tables and accent chairs, and framed shots of Johnny Cash and Frank Sinatra, Crecelius created the ultimate man cave, the perfect place for the husband to store and sip on his high-end whiskey collection with friends.“ It very nicely captures the client’ s wish for a room that calls to mind a sophisticated hotel,” Hoepner says. Interior Design: Alexandra Crecelius. General Contractor: Harbor Construction Group. Photography: Tamara Flanagan Photography.
• Second Place: Strive Kitchen & Bar Speakeasy, Amy Granieri, Jackson Creative Group
COMMERCIAL HISTORIC RENOVATION
FIRST PLACE
Shri Studio, Alison Bologna and Ed Wojcik
Alison Bologna had a vision: Take a dilapidated 15,000-square-foot mill and fill it with a thriving yoga studio, several social enterprises and affordable housing, all while paying homage to the building’ s rich history and Italianate architecture. With architect Ed Wojcik’ s help, Bologna— owner of Shri yoga studio and NBC 10 WJAR news anchor— successfully revitalized the former Conant Thread complex in Pawtucket into a dynamic community.“ The willingness to pair historic items, like the old doors, with new features like a neon sign was particularly attractive,” Johnson says.“ I loved how they decided to create a space that’ s open for people of all abilities. When we talk about having a strong vision, it’ s clear Bologna and Wojcik had it.” Owner / Developer: Alison Bologna. Architect: Ed Wojcik. Photography: Angel Tucker Photography.
