Fashion Angels Corporate Headquarters









Fashion Angels Enterprises is a Fashion Toy Designer located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  Recently A2K contracted with Fashion Angels to design a new corporate office which was to be located in Milwaukee’s Historic Third Ward.  It was important for the owners of Fashion Angels to design an office space that was a reflection of the product they represent: an innovative, fashion-forward, fun, playful environment.  The owners of Fashion Angels were responsible for making and creating the interior design.  Our collaboration was to aid the owners in providing samples and offering our knowledge in design implementation.  We were excited to bring our expertise to assist in making this dream become a reality while showcasing Fashion Angels’ design talent.

Wine Maniacs on the River Remodel


 We were asked by the owners of Wine Maniacs to assist in designing a location for their new prep kitchen.  The owners wanted to be able to prepare a wider variety of foods to pair with their wines for a more complete food and wine experience for their patrons.  They were tight on space for storage so turning one of their storage rooms into the prep kitchen was not an option, however, the facility was equipped with two bars.  There was one main bar and a second bar that had become their glorified water station.  It was decided that the second bar location would be a better use of space for the current owners if it were a prep kitchen.  We were able turn the bar into a prep kitchen and make it appear as though it was always there by carefully removing and reusing the wood slats that enclosed the stair for the main wall of the prep kitchen.  Finally, we were able to get the owners up and operational just in time for the Harley Davidson Reunion in August of 2013.
