This idea is a simple on really. Gather some very talented designers, place them around a table, drop the topic, hit the little red button and see what happens. This is the idea I came up with in 2017 after years of attending industry events and leaving with a sense of disappointment that the formal conversations didn’t yield the same amazing dialogue that the informal ones did. When creatives come off the stage, the audience leaves and they are just chatting amongst themselves, it was pure gold. I wanted to capture that. We hold these events regularly at Design Hardware. We record them and publish them to Doctoring Up Design, the official podcast of Design Hardware. We gathered on February 29th, in partnership with ASID-LA, we gathered some amazing creatives to discuss the rapidly changing nature of the design industry and how the rapid changes and evolving tastes are changing the game. You are going to hear an open and honest conversation, the likes of which you rarely hear. Which is exactly why we do this. The ASID - Los Angeles Chapter The following conversation features; Cheryl Vines | Mesa Design Group Jaqueline Steinberg | Eve Mode Design @JackieSteinberg Lenora Mahle | Mahle Design @LenoraMahle Mark Cutler | Cutler Schulze @CutlerSchulze Juliette Schatan-van der Meijden | Curated by Juliette @CuratedbyJuliette Nicole Schulze | Cutler Schulze @CutlerSchulze Philip Nielsen | Nielsen Dye @NielsenDye We are talking about important issues that include; Doctoring Up Design is the official podcast of Design Hardware and was created to address the pain points affecting the design and architecture community.

This is Doctoring Up Design, the official Design Hardware podcast. I’m Josh Cooperman and today we are continuing our conversation about safety and security in residential design. This topic is not being discussed to scare you or to make anyone uncomfortable. To the contrary, there are a few ideas here that are extremely important and incredibly timely. Here’s the idea…we live in a civilized society, but not necessarily a safe one. Weather patterns have changed and it would be crazy not to address those changes by preparing for the worst potential outcomes, right? Technological advances have made the modern American home stronger, more efficient, more comfortable and highly performative. And, it continues to get better. Our society has become more dangerous. It’s just the way it is. So, if you are a homeowner listening to this, and safety is important to you, keep listening. If you are a designer, architect or builder, you have a remarkable opportunity to increase your firm’s profile, create a new value proposition, a brand extension that will set you apart by offering something that is not widely offered by the design trade at large. And, you will generate more revenue in the process. If this is of interest to you. This is what you heard in the last episode of the show. You heard from Garett Winn, and Matt Terry from Safe room. This is part two of that conversation. In part one, we discussed the very basics of beginning to plan out your safe room design and the very basic ideas around that design itself. In February of 2024, Garrett, Matt and I met again, this time in person at Design Hardware to discuss these very ideas with far more depth and texture. We covered a lot of ground and if you are considering a safe room for your home or as I designer, you want to offer this as part of your services, you are going to want to hear this. It’s great information that not only provides a much needed service, but it also creates new revenue streams for designers, architects and builders. Those in real estate should also give a listen. This could be the reason why buyers would select one property over another. We are going to get to that, right after this. Thank you Garett and Matt with Saferoom for your time and expertise. This was part two of a series that we was held live from the Design Hardware showroom in Los Angeles. Check out the Instagram feed, @DesignHardwareandflooring for more information as it’s released. Thank you Michele Solomons and Avi Balsam with Design Hardware for your continued and unwavering support of the design and architecture community. And thank you for listening to the podcast.

We are discussing the inner working s for creating an inner sanctum. Seriously, you don’t have to be a super hero, super-villain, actor or tycoon to have one. Having a dedicated safe room is not a cheap proposition, but it’s not out of the realm of possibility either. What is your safety, peace of mind and overall security worth? The answer is different for everyone. It’s personal. And it starts with an education. And you are going to get that, right after this from Accurate Lock and Hardware #Saferoom #Design #Architecture Thank you Garett and Matt with Saferoom for your time and expertise.

In the last episode of the podcast, we were speaking with HMC Architects, Kirk Rose and James Krueger about the thought and elements behind designing for safety and security. The world can be a dangerous place and there is an ongoing conversation about safety in design. The one thing that you can count on is the need to put a priority on designing for the unthinkable. The conversation you are about to hear is a continuation of these ideas and it includes, Kirk Rose, Healthcare Practice Leader at HMC as well as Sergio Lechuga, Director of Interior Design at HMC. We met in person at Design Hardware and to check out some of the video clips of our conversation, please go to @DesignHardwareandflooring on Instagram.

This is a very special edition of Doctoring Up Design. For years, this podcast has been a work in progress. A labor of love that continually drives us to bring you solutions for your design and architecture pain points. Design, architecture, development of all sorts is a living, breathing study of how humans live, cohabitate, recreate and establish domiciles and work spaces. For years, pre-pandemic, there was a time when all you saw in the trade publications were what was pretty, stunning, new. Then glimpses into how celebrities were living. Aspirational for sure, but not super relatable for the rest of us. Then the pandemic hit and all everyone wanted to know was how do I make my dysfunctional house into a performative home? How do I fix this, quick. Post-pandemic, much of that was implemented and we all moved away from these ideas as travel and experience took the priority. All of these things are important. But now, a new movement is currently taking place. A movement that puts the highest priority on safety and security. When politicians and their families are attacked in their own homes. When school and hospital shootings become a regular occurrence. When massive groups of people descend on retail establishments and steal so much that it registers on many of America’s biggest retailers bottom lines as “shrink”. We are currently in a crisis of security that affects every one of us. We wanted to conduct a conversation with professionals who have been dealing with thee very issues at the highest level for long enough to understand the basics and translate these ideas into actionable steps that designers, architects and homeowners can implement in their residential spaces, now. The following conversation is part one of a two-part series that I am quite certain will grow into something bigger. This conversation features James Krueger, Director of Design and Kirk Rose, Healthcare Practice Leader, both from HMC Architects. A firm that was founded to make major contributions in the healthcare, education and civic spaces. I mentioned two-parts. This episode is being aired in November of 2023. Part two will be a live continuation of this conversation featuring both Kirk, James and Sergio Lechuga, Director of Interior Design for HMC. If you are listening to this episode and would like to attend in person, please email me, convobydesign@outlook.com and I will send you an invitation for the live session on November 16th at Design Hardware in Los Angeles. This is part one of our conversation. Conversation Thank you Kirk and James for your time and expertise, thank you Bruce Boul with HMC for making this incredible conversation happen. Thank you Michele Solomons and Avi Balsam with Design Hardware for your continued and unwavering support of the design and architecture community. And thank you for listening to the show. As previously mentioned, If you are listening to this episode and would like to attend in person, please email me, convobydesign@outlook.com and I will send you an invitation for the live session on November 16th at Design Hardware in Los Angeles. Be well.

This episode of Doctoring Up Design is a real workgroup that gathered at the showroom to discuss issues that you will learn a bit more about in just a moment. First, Doctoring Up Design is the official podcast of Design Hardware and was created to provide you with real world solutions to your everyday pain points as it relates to the business of interiors design and architecture. In May, 2023, a special gathering took place at the Design Hardware showroom in Los Angeles. This gathering presented an opportunity to get some of LA’s most dynamic and creative designers together for a conversation about design beginning with an open forum about how the kitchen has changed in form and function since the pandemic began in 2020. This idea started as an exploratory look at what has changed, but developed into an overarching dialogue about what it means to be a designer today. Further, how the design community has learned to lean in on each other for support, direction, inspiration and in the case of showrooms like Design Hardware, how to provide creatives with opportunities to discover new product and specify with confidence that product will arrive on time, as intended to best serve the client. You are about to listen in on a real workgroup discussing the issues designers, architects and builders face today. The following conversation is between 12 creatives and at times, it gets complicated, just like conversations in the real world. This conversation was not intended for you to blow through while multi-tasking. There is a great deal of material here and it is intended to be listened to over time and re-listened as well. It is worthy of saving and. added to your resource library. This is kicked off by Michele Solomons with Design Hardware asking about the experience designers have with their showroom partners. It’s an important question and one on just about every designers mind. From there, this chat takes on a life of its own and if you follow closely, there are nuggets of design business gold to be found. Before we listen in, I thought you would like to meet the participants: Andres Gonzalez - Cali Renderings Christine Jahan - Christine Jahan Designs Crickett Kenser - Kitchen Places Huma Sulaiman - Huma Sulaiman James Hernandez - James Hernandez Interior Design Joan Barton - Dirty Girl Construction Kara Piepmeyer - Studio Kosma Leslie Delli-Venneri - Aquabella Marbe Briceno - Marbe Designs Mark Hermogeno - Hermogeno Designs Nicole Michael - Nicole Michael Designs Rydhima Brar - R/Terior Studio Thank you for listening to this episode of Doctoring Up Design, the official podcast of Design Hardware.
