No, you’re not seeing double. Those are two different gooseneck lighting fixtures that are an almost match. From the way some of our staff perfectionists look at it, they’re like night and day. But to the untrained eye, they could be almost identical. The fixture on the right is the original gooseneck lamp found in […]
An Office Without Windows
Everyone hates an office without windows. You’ve been there… The last one to know the sky’s opened up, or to find out that a tornado is barreling down the street. (Though in the case of the tornado, I guess the office without windows benefits you…) Well, we’re in the majority with people who like to […]
We are the Champions!
Bull City Cool is… well, inherently Cool… and we’re not the only ones who think so! As winner of the Triangle Community Foundation’s 2015 Innovation Award, it’s clear that the Bull City Cool Food Hub Collaborative (BCCFHC) is growing in popularity. The BCCFHC was one of many great applicants for the Innovation Award, and one […]
Form Follows Function
What we need: A light fixture that complies with regulations for food-processing AND fits the aesthetic of our renovations. Function first, followed by form. Why we need it: USDA standards require light fixtures in food-processing areas to be cleanable, to have covered bulbs, etc. (i.e., loads more regulations that are worth having and following, but […]
The Bathroom – Being All It Can Be
Our surprising-find bathroom with a sordid history has gone through serious renovations to be all it can be. Starting out as a dusty and dirty hole in the wall, it’s now a stunning and very open space. (Prepare yourself. I’m about to over-use the word “vintage.”) The vintage brick walls reach up to high ceilings, […]
History at its Worst
Waaay back when we bought 902 N Mangum St in March 2014 – AKA the distant past – we decided to preserve its historical elements while simultaneously transforming it into a modern facility. More specifically, we said we’d keep the handsome features and oust the homely ones. And I don’t think there’s anything less tasteful […]
Two Sides of the Same Coin
Every actual and proverbial coin has two sides. You’ve already seen both sides of our new storefront “coin”: the exterior plywood jungle and the interior glass network that the plywood’s protecting. Today we reveal the revamped storefront “coin” in its entirety. With the final trim-out completed by our carpenter super-team, Scott Taylor and Matt Swean, […]
Step Through Time
Here we have another fine example of historic preservation at 902 N Mangum St. This exterior door is native to the building; however, the door’s original glass panes did not fare well through time… Clear-Vue Glass of Durham provided three replacement panes for the door and Scott Taylor ensured their proper installation. The transom light […]
Is this a joke?
We’re all familiar with the “How do you keep an idiot busy?” joke… If you’re not, let me introduce you. All you need to do is print this line on both sides of a piece a paper and follow the instructions: How do you keep an idiot busy? (Turn paper over) Now that we’re all […]
The Devil’s in the Details
Recognize the doorway seen here? No? How ‘bout now? Believed to be a former exterior door of the original 150 sq ft building, it’s now an interior door off our conference room. But while it’s function has changed, we’ve taken great care to preserve and incorporate period and personal details. For instance, the door featured […]
