IL TAVOLINO RESTAURANT INTERIOR DESIGN, KELOWNA

A collaboration between Hatch Interior Design and Magpie Interiors, Il Tavolino Italian bistro is located in Kelowna, BC, Canada. Il Tavolino Italian bistro has been opened since the summer, so we figure you’re thinking “It’s about time we put some final project photos up already”, right? We couldn’t agree more! If you haven’t been in to check it out by now, you definitely should. Not only is the space beautiful, but their food, coffee, and gelato are equally fantastic.

A LOOK BACK AT TRENDS IN INTERIOR DESIGN FOR 2014

Fujitsu Headquarters by Woods Bagot is an example of a trend in interior design we noticed in 2014, low lounge furniture for meeting and collaborative spaces. Last year we forecasted a few trends in interior design that we expected to see in 2014 (click here for part 1 and here for part 2). Well, now we're looking back and seeing that some of those predictions rang true but, some projections also did not. We figured we'd give you an update on those predictions and how they may continue to have in impact in 2015.

The Boutique Retail Interior Design

It’s always exciting to unveil our new projects; The Boutique retail interior design is certainly no exception! Our interior designers worked with our client to create an absolute dream space that showcases the range of women’s clothing she sells. Our client was envisioning a new classic-contemporary clothing store and called on Hatch to help with the interior design and, a very special project for our team, the creative process for imaging and logo design.

COMMERCIAL DESIGN TRENDS PART 5: BRAND DIVERSITY

Camper knows how to find designers who can really make their brand shine. A-cero's design in Granada certainly highlights the strong brand. A steadfast rule in commercial interior design is to maintain consistency for corporate chains across their many locations. Have you ever wondered why every McDonald’s restaurant design looks the same no matter its geographical whereabouts? A lot of research was completed to help brands like McDonald’s determine that consistency in their image improves brand awareness, and ensures their customers know exactly what to expect whether they visit a store in Vancouver or Montreal. Sound reasoning right? Well, yes…

HATCH INTERIOR DESIGN IN VANCOUVER

For the second consecutive year our outstanding Registered Interior Designers have won an Interior Designers Institute of BC SHINE award, this time for our Grouse River project. We recently returned from our annual trip to Vancouver, and what an exceptional weekend it was! In addition to all the inspirational sights to see (and yummy food to eat), we were able to take some professional development courses and get a sneak peek at this year’s new products at the IDSWest trade show. However, most importantly….drumroll…for the second year in a row, we came home with some bragging rights. We’re thrilled to…

HATCH’S INTERIOR DESIGN PROCESS PART 2

Ronen Levin design studio must have followed the typical interior design process to achieve this outstanding and beautifully detailed project for LovEat coffee shop. Unless you’ve worked with a professional interior designer before, you may not realize how much work is actually invested into a successful business renovation or tenant improvement project. It’s not uncommon for business owners to seek out the help of an interior designer only to receive a fee proposal that, on first glance, may seem higher than originally anticipated. In our experience, once that potential client reads through the scope of work, it becomes clear that…

NUVUE OPTOMETRY CLINIC DESIGN CONCEPT

Moulded plywood shelves became the foundation for our design concept for Nuvue Optometry. We’ve really been looking forward to showing you one of our latest projects, an optometry clinic design for Nuvue Optometry. First, can we just say that this client has been a dream for us? Dr. Brad Almond and his son Dr. Devin Almond have not only allowed us creative freedom, but their fun outlook, sarcastic wit, and lighthearted humor has made this partnership an absolute blast! We think the design concept for the office interior aligns with their energetic approach and we look forward watching ANR Construction…

IL TAVOLINO GELATERIA AND CAFÉ CONCEPTUAL DESIGN

You know what the Kelowna food scene really needs? A bistro in the Mission area that offers healthy food made from scratch with locally sourced ingredients, including grab-and-go paninis, hot lunch specials, a large selection of homemade gelato, freshly prepared take out items for quick at-home dinners, and of course, great coffee. Well, guess what? Il Tavolino is coming to the rescue! A perspective view of the concept for Il Tavolino, an Italian cafe and gelateria under construction in Kelowna, BC. Designed in collaboration with Magpie Interiors. Il Tavolino, the brainchild of Alessandro DeAngelis and his wife, interior designer Sarah…

GROUSE RIVER KELOWNA RETAIL DESIGN

A topographic ceiling is the focal point over the optics counter and allows for a central division between the hunting and outdoor sections. Well readers, it’s been TWO years since we started this project, but we’re thrilled to finally show you the results of our effort. Tadaaaa! Our interior design for the flagship location of Grouse River, an established, locally owned and operated hunting and outdoor store based in Kelowna, BC. We know that the team at Grouse River are beyond happy with their new 17,000 sq. ft. retail store design, but equally important, so are their customers and suppliers.…
