Making a Bold Statement with Innovative Carpet Design
RD Weis partnered with New City Library to bring a fresh and vibrant look to their open, multi-level spaces, earning the prestigious Starnet Design Award. The library aimed to create a fun and inviting environment, making a significant visual impact through new carpeting alone. The existing flooring was outdated and posed a potential safety risk, necessitating an upgrade that would transform the library without major structural changes.
The designer, Judy Girod of Lothrop Associates, envisioned organic pathways that would help define different areas of the library using accent colors. This innovative approach required a creative use of carpet design to achieve the desired effect. The solution was found in the Tandus Modular Landscape Textures carpet, utilizing three main colors complemented by Plexus color spots in five shades. This combination not only revitalized the space but also added a dynamic and engaging visual element to the library's interior.
Strategic Execution and Design Excellence
The execution of this project required meticulous planning and coordination. RD Weis’s expert team worked closely with Judy Girod to ensure that the carpet installation would meet the library’s aesthetic and functional needs. The use of modular carpet tiles allowed for flexibility in design, enabling the creation of organic pathways that seamlessly integrated with the library's layout.
The installation process was carried out with precision, minimizing disruption to the library's operations. The result was a transformed space that not only addressed safety concerns but also provided a vibrant and inviting atmosphere for visitors. The new carpeting made a bold floor statement, enhancing the library’s overall appeal and functionality.
This project stands as a testament to RD Weis’s ability to deliver innovative and practical design solutions that meet the unique needs of their clients. The success of the New City Library project, recognized by the Starnet Design Award, highlights RD Weis's expertise in creating visually stunning and functional spaces.
