"With Etiquette, I searched everywhere for flooring that was sophisticated and intriguing but fanciful at the same time. It had to be magical. When I came across ASI's offerings I instantly fell in love. We used a variety of materials from ASI, but the Pearl Imagio flooring stole the show. It's a truly astounding floor -- essential to the overall ambiance and one of the first things that our guests comment on. ASI is the first place I look now for interesting and unique surfacing."

"It was a wonderful experience to work with Architectural Systems on the Fish Sushi Bar. I knew I wanted to make texture integral to design. With ASI's range of products, I was able to incorporate texture in many of the materials I chose, from dimensional stone walls and wood panels to the agglomerate and wood block floors."

Silver Rain Spa, Ritz Carlton Grand Cayman

D'Aquino Monaco

Featuring Sculptured™ Collection — Primed MDF — WPMAS002, custom pearlescent finish

"We think of the paneling as both soft and hard at the same time. The random carvings are analogous to water passing through and around rocks carving random cuts into the stone. Architectural Systems, Inc. has products that are not found anywhere else. The company is extremely amenable and willing to explore with us ways in which to innovatively use their products."

Carl D'Aquino, Principal, D'Aquino Monaco


Harvey Nichols, Dubai

Callison Architecture, Inc.

Featuring Crystal Agglomerate Collection — Pure Crystal White FLSTH006

“Our challenge was to create a sleek, cool interior environment with modern lines and minimalist details while supporting the merchandise story of the Harvey Nichols luxury brand. Callison visited the ASI showroom to source material samples to present to the client. The flooring in the merchandise areas is mostly hard surfaces. ASI helped us source natural and agglomerate flooring sections that support the bright and edgy atmosphere of Harvey Nichols. Nancy and her team assisted us with the final selections for the palette, and ultimately aided in the overall design vision, as their materials were installed in the Harvey Nichols store in Dubai.”

Frederick Fekkai, New York

S. Russell Groves, Interior Designer and Architect

Featuring Maxx® Architectural Concrete — FLCER268

"The Frederic Fekkai salon in Henri Bendel was designed to be a cutting edge, sophisticated retreat with a distinctly residential ambiance. We needed to find materials that were durable enough for a high traffic commercial space but also evoked the elegance and quality of something that would be in a luxury home. Working with ASI was a wonderful experience; Rachel Cooper was tremendously helpful throughout the entire process and the Maxx® Concrete tile still continues to receive compliments."

"Whenever a new project begins, it's time for me to take a field trip to Architectural Systems, Inc. To be able to touch and feel the materials—the tactile experience—is very inspiring. For Apogee we needed materials that conveyed a cozy residential feeling, but that would also perform perfectly in a demanding commercial environment. Visiting the Architectural Systems, Inc. showroom made a huge difference in choosing the materials—we were able to select products that seamlessly bridged the gap between design intent and project demands. Working with Architectural Systems, Inc. is always a harmonious experience."

Kevin McCarthy, Apogee USA


Anchor Blue, Coral Springs, Florida

Twenty Four Seven, Inc.

Featuring Cubic® Concrete Elements — Custom Distressed Logo

“The inspiration for Anchor Blue came from Downtown Los Angeles, where everything is always being repurposed. We wanted the store to have a loft/warehouse feel, with a design that conveyed authenticity and permanence; essentially creating a look that seemed like it had been there forever. ASI turned that vision into a reality, suggesting ASI Cubic® Concrete panels to create an authentic style exuding the convergence of old and new. They also helped us distress our logo, which consistently draws praise. We opened 14 stores in this prototype in 2006, and all new 2007 stores and remodels will mirror this design. ASI provides great customer service, making you feel like you are a part of the family.”

Food Gang, Surfside, Florida

D-Ash Design

Featuring High Pressure Decorative Laminates — DSDLO306

Photo: Daniel Aubry

"The client wanted to create a culture around food and wine. We designed a restaurant and gourmet shop that carries some of the world's finest French/Mediterranean-inspired foods. The presentation is simple, but the food is of the highest quality. To reinforce this, we wanted the environment to be elegant without being intimidating. Instead of using tablecloths, I insisted that the client use real wood veneer on the tables. Since wood veneer has maintenance issues, the client proposed plastic laminate instead. I was quite disappointed when I saw the laminates their cabinet maker provided, and didn't think we could make this work. Architectural Systems, Inc. proved otherwise. I took the client to the ASI booth at the HDBoutique show in Miami, where they were displaying an amazing collection of decorative laminates that looked so real we couldn’t tell they were fake. We knew immediately that we'd found our solution. The tables are in and the restaurant, with its elegant yet casual atmosphere, is getting fabulous reviews!"

David Ashen, Principal, D-Ash Design

Theory In-House design

Featuring ASI Porcelain Collection — FLCCD238

"The biggest challenge in designing a shop-in-shop for a department store is finding the right materials to reflect the aesthetic of the brand; particularly materials that will perform well in high-traffic environments. Using materials from Architectural Systems Inc. always proves successful due to the extensive selection of materials to choose from, and of course, the unparalleled customer service."

Andrew Shannon, Theory


Manhattan Dermatology, New York, New York

Montroy Anderson Design

Featuring ASI Porcelain Collection — FLCER484

"Our client was inspired by a boutique hotel he visited on vacation. We wanted to capture the essence of that design, stay within budget, use materials that could withstand the wear and tear of a busy doctor's office. ASI offers several options and the porcelain tile that we installed in this reception area, suited the project and the client's needs beautifully."

Milo Kleinberg Design Associates, Inc.

Featuring Anodized Aluminum Laminates — WPDLP052

"The panels are very easy to use, and impressive. Nobody had seen the material before in that type of application-and they brought an exotic feeling, but fun too. Best of all, they were easily accessible because they came from Architectural Systems, Inc."

Aquavit, New York

Owen & Mandolfo

Featuring ASI Hardwood Flooring II, Carribean Walnut FLWFJ020

"The engineered Caribbean Walnut flooring from Architectural Systems, Inc. selected for the Aquavit Cafe, Lounge and Bar areas lends an exotic, luxurious tone to the minimalist environment and is ideal for these high- traffic areas of the restaurant. We looked at more than 30 wood samples before selecting ASI Wood Flooring for its quality, ease of installation and maintenance. The flooring material fulfilled the design intent we shared with the owner and chef of Aquavit, linking the cuisine of Scandinavia with contemporary Scandinavian design. Additionally, though the flooring is for a commercial application, the space requires the intimacy of a residential interior."

Michel Franck, Architect, Owen & Mandolfo


Bistro 1 2 3, Virginia

International Design, Inc.

Featuring Wood Ceilings — Bonette, cherry finish, white acoustical fabric

"The client set the stage for the restaurant design, having an extensive collection of artwork to showcase in the space. Natural materials, such as the cherry Wood Ceiling from Architectural Systems, Inc., perfectly compliments the variety of art pieces, both traditional and modern, and the neutral palette. The Wood Ceiling system adds additional dimension and texture to the restaurant interior, which has a very limited number of windows, yet retains a spacious and engaging feel."

Sherri Cline, IDI International Design Inc.

Saks Fifth Avenue, New York

Saks Fifth Avenue In-House design

Featuring End Grain Wood Block Flooring — Hornbeam FLKSW019

"I have been interested in the rich, textural quality of End Grain Wood Block Flooring for quite some time. Whenever I would come across a flooring installation, I would have to kneel down to touch it. When I discovered the full variety available through ASI, I realized how this material could provide a strong backdrop for product without being overpowering. The choice to use this product in a way other than flooring came quite naturally and I am very pleased with the result."

John Rawlins, Former Creative Director of Store Design, Saks Fifth Avenue


TPG Architecture Offices, New York

TPG Architecture In-House design

Featuring Resin & Wood Collection — Maple, WPRAV001

"ASI's innovative wood resin systems allow for greater flexibility when designing spaces that require a balance of privacy and transparency. The clerestory installation in our café allows light to pass through while maintaining a visual separation between workspace and communal areas - the result is a visually compelling element that maintains the continuity of our open office design."

The personal customer service truly turns a project into a partnership. ASI understood the concept and supplied wide plank wood flooring that perfectly compliments the organic natural design aesthetic of the Sigrid Olsen brand."

El Centro, New York

Therapy

Featuring Shimmer™ Vinyl Collection — Cobalt FLAVI702, Cyprium FLAVI706, Malachite FLAVI694, Neon FLAVI714, Tanzanite FLAVI682

"Traveling through Mexico, and supplementing it with some research, I was inspired by the brightly colored tin ornaments, "milagros," created by Oaxacan craftsmen and decided to encrust one of El Centro's walls with them. These colors then became the palette for the environment. Amazingly, leafing through Interior Design magazine, I saw the editorial on the new Shimmer vinyl flooring from ASI and made an appointment at the showroom to specify and order the material that day. The colors matched perfectly, coordinating the milagros, Jarritos bottles (utilized as the bar front), the multihued grosgrain ribbon window treatments and paint colors. The space is a colorful fiesta, bright and happy, a perfect spot to liven up with a margarita and some really great Mexican food."

"We chose The Pearlescence Collection for the dance floor of the 'Pulse' disco in the Crystal Cruise ship called Serenity. We were looking for a durable material which would give the appearance of light coming up through the dance floor and illuminating the entire dance area. This product did just that by capturing the surrounding, pulsating lights with its reflective surface."

"Poindexter Systems, an exploding online marketing technology firm, needed a new office that would build client confidence while conveying the creative energy of their young company. Wrapping the elevator bank in prefinished Palmwood plank, we created a wood box to promote the impression of solidity for a firm in the volatile internet arena. The box sits upon a Palmwood plank floor which folds upward to create the reception desk. The richness of the material was juxtaposed against a backlit plexiglass wall/portal to the offices. The prefinished material helped us complete this project within a very short timeframe."

This previously non-descript space is dramatically enhanced by Venetian plaster walls and a glamorous acoustic grid ceiling. In the media room, the acoustical wood ceiling was repeated to create a unified and continuous look throughout the apartment. Simultaneously functional and aesthetical, the wood ceiling tiles allowed for flexibility in terms of the design challenges."

"For the design of Quality Meats, we chose ASI's reclaimed End Grain Wood Blocks as the signature material, a perfect modern reference to the early 1900's butcher shop cutting boards we used as inspiration for the design. Taken out of its industrial context, the rich texture of the end grain creates a lush backdrop in key transition areas of the restaurant — entranceways, staircases and the private dining rooms. Finding the right products for the project is key to our design philosophy, and ASI provided the material that perfectly suited the aesthetic and the concept."

Adam Farmerie, Principal, AvroKO

We thought ASI's Tropical Veneer crushed coconut was very unique, highly unusual, beautiful in appearance and touch, and quite durable as a table top finish. The crushed coconut material complemented our overall color scheme for the space which is terra-cotta & brown. But most importantly, using the Tropical Veneers as a finished table top made the table cloth unnecessary.”

Mancini Duffy

Featuring Iridia® Vinyl Collection — Copper Gold FLAVI040

Photo: Peter Paige Photography

The appeal of this product is that it is luminous; its iridescent finish loves light, and responds and interacts with it. The fine ribbed texture of the tile allows reflection, the metallic pattern adds depth, and those two qualities combined help hide accumulated soiling. I like that the effect can be subtle or loud, depending on the colorway chosen. I recently applied this material as an accent to the floor and vertically on adjoining walls (oversized tile module in the same colorway) to create a continuous/monolithic treatment, then quarter turned it to exploit and optimize the sheen.
