An Eye on Synergy

Posted by - January 10, 2014 - News, Project Profile

When The Factory was is its conceptual stages, founder Bo Snarski envisioned a creative space where synergy would thrive. In this recently completed renovation of Inspired Eyes Creative Eyewear in Kelowna, his vision is now a reality!

V6B Design Group and Claymasters joined forces in the renovation of the new retail location for Inspired Eyes Creative Eyewear located in Downtown Kelowna. Laura Cruse from V6B consulted on the concept and planning of the space, helping owner Lana Belvis create a chic space with a distinctly Versailles-inspired theme. From the Inspired Eyes’ colour palette, decorative ceiling treatment to its furniture placement, Laura created an inviting space with hints of luxury and loads of French charm.

Gerry Monty of Claymasters executed the atmosphere-setting clay wall. Made from non-toxic American Clay in “Capital Lake”, the unique feature wall offers a natural textured finish reminiscent of old French castles – the perfect complement to the space’s subtle glamour.

Downtown Kelowna After 5

Last night The Factory hosted the much-anticipated monthly networking event Downtown Kelowna After 5 put on by the Downtown Kelowna Association. It was another very well attended event… so much so it overflowed into our parking lot!

During the evening, we unveiled our new Factory Trade Foundation. The Factory Trade Foundation is an annual bursary for trade students at Okanagan College in Kelowna. We’re very excited to encourage and support our future leaders!

Here is John Haller (right), Dean of Trades and Apprenticeship at Okanagan College, with two of our Factory residents, Bo Snarksi from Scandinavian Hardwood Floors and Laura Cruse from V6B Design Group.
