Project Spotlight: Linwood Guesthouse

A JOURNEY FROM SKETCH TO 3D. All projects begin the same way here at Hayne, with some yellow trace paper and a pencil.  From there, by identifying the project restrictions, Robbin Hayne will use layers and layers of trace (most of which end up crumpled on the office floor) to work through the design process…

As-hole Built Series: Here is a post-it…

You all know we love as-builts (eye roll) … and Los Angeles 1920’s hillside houses are our very favorite to field verify.  The boss man innocently handed us two post-its with some sketches for the areas that we needed to focus on for our new Linwood project and we thought oh how great!  We only…

Thankful For: the Evolution of Design

One week closer to Thanksgiving (EEK!), another week to share what we are thankful for! This week we want to shout out and give thanks for the evolution of design.

To be white or to be blue, that is the question. Out Claremont House interior remodel project continues as we try to finalize our kitchen cabinetry.  The primary focus in this kitchen is the gorgeous French range from Lacanche.  The traditional range we are looking at comes in a variety of colors but we are…

Project Spotlight: Sierra Towers

Our Sierra Towers project is moving full steam ahead.  All of the mirrors and wall paper have been removed and we get to see the space as an open blank canvas!  Ummmm… what’s the deal with all these vent pipes!!! Now some of these pipes were expected and in exactly or very close to where…

Project Spotlight: Sierra Towers Cabinetry

Our Sierra Towers project is moving into construction, and as we start demolition to field verify some existing conditions (like drain pipe and mechanical ductwork locations) we spent some time refining our cabinetry designs.  As we’ve talked about previously, our current work-flow is to create assemblies with individual components. This project is cabinetry heavy and…

Project Spotlight: Lawless Brewery

Long time no blog…  Things have been a little hectic here at Hayne as we added a teeny tiny new member to the Hayne team family and temporarily lost Bianca to a more demanding boss… HAHA!  Soon she will be back in the office so why not restart our weekly updates… Lawless Brewery is well…

Product Spotlight: LiveRoof & LiveWall

Today we are going to show some love to one of our favorite systems to incorporate in our projects, LiveRoof and LiveWall.  These are both modular systems designed with integrated irrigation that are pre-planted, so when they are installed they are lush and full!  No need to wait for them to grow in! We’ve specified…

Things We Love: Quick 3D Views from Revit

Continuing our February LOVEFEST, lets talk about the power of BIM and the quick production of 3D views.  Not everyone can look at a 2D drawing (plan or elevation) and understand the 3 dimensional space.  Why not use those super detailed BIM models to create views so that our Clients can see what we see!…
