Hi, we are in the same field, and I admire your work!
This is great! I'm researching either renovation my garage or purchasing a pre-built structure to move my art studio into. I'll also look into buying a container and see which option is the most affordable.
Hi Pat, I wanted to let you know that your work, is what some would say was "old School Good!!!!!!." I was on my to Germany for a Solar project and struck up a conversation with a Buddy of mine, we were talking about doing some new projects using containers ect. I brought up the Dwell issue (saved on desktop) He was looking at the V-clip with his head phones. I had my off, when he yelled this dude Pat is Trucking Great;) I will look for your website. Great work!!! Regards, Kevin Fry
Pat has worked w/ us on quite a few projects and he is fantastic!!!!!!! Love his work and eye for Harmony, Contrast and Balance. I look forward to working w/ him in the near future. Chuck
Jessica, the firm who worked on the project is Lundberg Design: www.lundbergdesign.com
Jessica, I think you are looking for Pat's website: www.patcarsonstudio.com
Really cool stuff. Pat gets more meaningful work done in a day than most people do in a week. I guess that's the benefit of not only loving what you do, but being really good at it. You've always inspired me to search for something I can be passionate about. I have a feeling you will do the same for many more people before its all said and done.
I clicked the link offered from the digital version of Dwell from my iPad. Unfortunately the visual content is unavailable. :-(
