Emerging


OVOLO Interiors is cautiously emerging from the shelter in place order to work on construction related activities per Santa Clara County's new Shelter In Place Order taking effect on May 4th, 2020. This new order mandates certain protocols and social distancing guidelines which we will be following so that we can continue to do our best to ensure the safety, health, and well-being of our company, clients, and community at large during these unprecedented times. 

Below is a reminder of the general guidance useful for everyone at this time:
  • Do not touch your face with unwashed hands or with gloves.
  • Frequently wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
  • Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces such as countertops, handrails, handles, and doorknobs.
  • Cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing, or cough or sneeze into the crook of your arm at your elbow/sleeve.
  • Do not meet with others if you have a fever, cough, or other COVID-19 symptoms. If you feel sick, or have been exposed to anyone who is sick, stay at home.
  • Constantly observe your distances in relation to other people outside of your household; maintain the recommended minimum six feet distance at all times.
Below are some highlights of specific measures OVOLO Interiors will be taking for any construction related activities or meetings: 
  • Safety protocols will be reviewed with clients, contractors, etc at least a day before any meetings or site visits
  • Temperature checks and hand washing will be performed before any meetings or site visits
  • Upon arrival, hand sanitizer will be used, then a mask and gloves will be put on; finally, a meeting log of any attendees will be created before the meeting or site visit can begin.
  • A mask and gloves will be worn at all times when meeting with others; clients and contractors will be required to wear a mask as well and will be strongly encouraged to wear gloves.
  • All will be required to maintain a distance of 6 feet at all times
  • After meeting with others, hand sanitizer will be used, items used (such as pens, tools, etc) will be disinfected, and hand washing will take place upon arrival back to the office.
By following these guidelines and protocols, OVOLO Interiors can continue to work on client's construction related projects while continuing to do our best to ensure the safety, health, and well-being of our company, clients, and community at large.

Space Planning Principles to Live By

Photo by Sergey Zolkin on Unsplash Let's talk about space planning, which leads to the basic layout of a room. But first, it starts with an in-depth analysis of how the space is to be used, taking into account all who live in the home and even some visitors to the home. Rooms and spaces within rooms are zoned to account for different activities that take place in a space. For example, a large open-concept great room may have a zone for living (watching TV, reading a book, holding a casual conversation, etc) and a zone for dining (both day to day eating as well as dinner parties). Circulation zones that show how people will move through the space are defined in the space planning process; you don't want furniture to get in the way of people's expected movements. The space plan is finished by adding the furniture, decor, accessory, and artwork details. Some times, there are conflicts that need to be resolved during the space planning process. For example, perhaps a q...

The New Normal

Our clients are trusted partners in the design process, and without this partnership, it would be impossible to create such a personalized and custom design for each Client.   Photo by Josh Nezon on Unsplash Over two years ago, Santa Clara County entered its first Shelter in Place Order. Since then, there have been many ups an downs with differing requirements as vaccination rates have gone up, new variants emerged, boosters have become available, etc. In this light, here’s how it affects our company, our clients, our future clients, our professional affiliates, and our community. We promise to follow all national, state, and local guidelines and orders as they have already been and may continue to be issued, including any masking and vaccination/booster requirements or recommendations. Our staff is fully vaccinated and boosted.  We will no longer require masks and strict physical distancing during meetings between our company and our clients (and anyone living in the sa...

Putting it all together: Final Thoughts on Space Planning

Photo by Austin Ban on Unsplash Typically, most people are not doing a wholesale rearrangement of the home's layout during a remodel project. A wall might be opened up to make a more open concept layout or a doorway widened, but most windows, doors, and walls tend to stay in their current locations and configurations. It's usually just within each room that a remodel takes place. And everything about the physical properties, layouts, and architecture of the house stays put when only redecorating or changing furniture! Thus, as mentioned in previous posts, most of the space planning principles are best accomplished through new construction or home additions. The next best way to accomplish them is through a remodel and finally, some principles can still be accomplished using the existing layout and architecture of a house. A good designer will apply as many of the principles as possible while working within the various project constraints. Trade-offs will most likely nee...
