Always Start with the Art.

Our 2024 Collaboration with AMSSA and Interior Designer Tamara Vollmin at Syncor Solutions Limited

"Just as designers use mood boards to convey feeling and direction through images and finishes. Artwork can also be used as the means for detecting a palette that we or a client loves. In artwork, it is easy to detect colour ratios and themes that will add a richness to our own work. It allows for quicker design evaluation during scope shifts. 

During the creative and construction process, the artwork that we are using as inspiration can become a representation of the heart of the project and carry greater emotional weight in the space. Typically, I find that artwork is a final decision for most offices and is lost in the hustle of finishing up any deficiencies before occupation.

At AMSSA, artwork became the emotional design thread that elevated a simple space to a jewel in the City of Burnaby."

"I’ve found that inspiration can come from anywhere during the initial design process. For this design, our client, Katie, was certain in her desire to have British Columbia represented as a new home with room for everyone to join in community. We wanted the office to feel like a friendly warm space. Two concepts popped up for me. “Little Parts – Big Picture” and “Rooted in BC”.
I chose to pull the ideas together through art and headed online to look around.

I fell in love with Victor Goertz’s tree studies which have exciting colour combinations and engaging shapes. These works seemed to make room for AMSSA’s corporate colours and ideology. My colour palette was inspired by his painting “Reach” and I was pleased that Katie fell in love with the palette and the art as well!"

EXPLORE THE ARTWORK

"Art Works Gallery has thoughtful employees and visiting the gallery is as good as visiting the VAG. The gallery has quality content and a diverse selection of artists and mediums. I was especially thankful for their relationship with the artists. I knew Deanna would advocate well for my client and for her artist. The gallery was able to build on my selections with the client to transform the space within the budget."
