COMMERCIAL INTERIOR DESIGN
FIRST PLACE: Alimente, Britt Machado, JohnnyCakes Design
The goal: Create a soothing, inviting space for Alimente, a nutrition counseling and consulting company, where clients of all body types and cultural identities could feel comfortable. Britt Machado of JohnnyCakes Design chose a calming palette of pink, green, cream, black and chrome and worked with local vendors to craft custom furniture with low seating and table options. The result is a welcoming space inside a stunning 1880s Victorian on Providence’ s West End, where details like original fireplaces and American chestnut double doors share space with fidget tools, assistive devices and completely customizable lighting options.“ This type of minutiae, combined with the overall color palette, locally made furniture and prioritizing sustainability sets this project apart from the pack,” says Rohlf. Bravo for inclusiveness! Interior Design: Britt Machado, JohnnyCakes Design. Vendors Used: Studio Cotty, Soda Glass House, Jordan’ s Jungle. Photography: Angel Tucker Photography.
