Yes Sir -- it does look beautiful. It has taken a good deal of work, but the building is befittingly beautiful to house the new Paul Mitchell School by Bryan and Tina Black. Mark Shubow, the Construction Manager has done a great job of coordination-- bringing the right people at right time to do the job.

We started off by carving the space from the Craft Mall. We added a demising wall to squeeze the Craft Mall into less than half of the space it originally occupied. We demolished the unneeded appurtenances, we exposed the ceiling, we added new roof top units, we moved the stairs, we modified the bathrooms. There was extensive plumbing work and electrical work.

The existing concrete floor was left intact. We added new headers to add large glass door walls on the West and South ends of the building. The furnishings are exquisite, the new layout is functional and charming.

New stainless steel signs one on the West side and one on the South side of the South West corner of the building are planned. I have seen the signs in the shop -- they are stunningly beautiful. I am working with the sign-makers to fasten the signs to the existing structure without adding any protruding or massive structures. Just Beautiful!

Stay tuned -- the signs should be fastened the first week of October-2006

This is pretty much the West Elevation of the Paul Mitchell School Building ...
