“Block Six was a unique and challenging project: to create a restaurant space with a strong, independent identity without compromising the linkages and sense integration with 3S Artspace and the overarching vision of the organization. Louis’s ability to negotiate and resolve this tension from a design perspective was uncanny. Not only did he design a space that “works” on all levels, to pull it off he assembled a top notch team of artists and tradespeople to bring their skills to bear on the project, managing them deftly, and always with grace and a smile.”
