VISION STATEMENT

"The vision for the newly renovated Interior Design Department at SVA is to create a professional interior design office atmosphere using the atelier, or workshop, as a model. There is nothing quite as beautiful as the true artisan’s or craftsman’s workshop, an unpretentious space made for the purpose of imagining and creating. What comes to mind is the timeless beauty of sustainable, simple materials, such as wood, paper and paint – worn from use, care and love by passionate individuals fully engaged in their work.”
-- Jane Smith, Department Chair

NEW DUCTWORK INSTALLATION

Our new HVAC system is not only more mechanically efficient but it is also more visually pleasing than the previous layout. It works with the structure of the building and new design concept.

Specific areas of the ductwork have a flexible lining (black material that can be seen inside the ducts in some of the images) which serves many purposes. It serves as an acoustical barrier and also reduces the amount of energy lost while hot or cold air travels through to the vents. Another characteristic of this lining is that it reduces the amount of condensation to keep mold, mildew, and other bacteria away while improving the overall air quality of the space.
