Arcon Architects & Interior Designers

You can find Arcon Architects & Interior Designers up on the second floor of Butler Plaza, in unit F-58. It’s a decent space, though the stairs can be a bit much if you’re carrying heavy samples. We’ve been doing architecture and interiors from this spot for a good bit of time. It’s mostly just us, a few computers, and a lot of tracing paper. We don't do the whole corporate pitch thing. Usually, a client comes in, sits down, and we just talk about what they need. It might be a shop that needs a better layout or a family moving into a new shell of a house. We look at the bones of the place first. Architecture is the foundation, but the interior design is what makes it feel like home. We spend a lot of time arguing over lighting and where the outlets should go. It’s those small things that people notice later. Butler Plaza is a busy place, so there’s always noise outside, but we get used to it. We aren't trying to win awards or get in magazines. We just want to make sure the stairs aren't too steep and the colors don't clash. Sometimes we get it right on the first try, and other times we have to redraw the whole thing. That’s just how it goes in this business. We keep it simple and just focus on the task at hand today.
