Carondelet Village Commission

 

According to Vicki Hovde of Dorsey Hovde Art Design, “Your piece is the star in the collection. Everyone loves it and can’t resist going up to touch and examine it closely.”

This was a fun project for a beautiful new location and a funky table too!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The kids even love the installation!

“We get compliments on the backsplash all the time.  People love that it’s
different and that it’s custom-made. Even my kids even appreciate it, which
I think says a lot that they pay attention to things like that.”

Star Tribune AIA Home of the Month

Sunday, June 5th’s Homes section of the Star Tribune’s article “Home and Away” shows a gorgeous home by TEA2 Architect’s chosen as AIA’s home of the month.  This home features a custom kitchen backsplash installation designed for the owner’s, mesh mounted, shipped to them and installed by their installers.  Nice!

Testimonial: Dan’s Fossil Flow Present

 

The Birthday celebration was a success.  Dan was totally surprised and loved the piece!  It seems the more he studies it, the more he discovers and the more he appreciates its complexity.  It was a pleasure getting to know you and I’m sure we will pass through your gallery again.

Thanks again!

Florida Keys Table Commission

This was created for a home in Florida.  I had just returned from a trip there so felt very inspired – I call it my Florida Keys table.  The turquoise agates look gorgeous.
