The new Maya Romanoff New York City showroom is highlighted in the premier issue of New York Cottages & Gardens magazine!
We lost a very special member of the marquardt+ family yesterday. Jasper, Lauren’s very sweet, fluffy, loving goldenpoodle went into the ER Wednesday evening with pain, and ended up needing surgery for a malformation in his abdomen that was basically an aneurysm, causing internal bleeding. He went in for surgery, but was sadly unable to pull through. He was only 8 years old, so it came as quite a shock, and weighed even heavier since Jasper’s older feline brother, Rosenthal, just passed two months ago as well.
Jasper was in the office all the time, providing emotional support for all of us. If Vince wasn’t running up and down the office with him, Tom was playing with him on the back deck. Anytime someone needed a big, furry hug, he was right there.

Jasper’s medical bills got quite high during his hospital visit, so if you would like to give any amount to help Lauren out with these costs, you can do so here:

James Wild of sister firm Gridwerk Architecture is currently participating on the Milwaukee Avenue Green Development Corridor Committee. The committee is investigating ways to help increase sustainability and reduce water management in Logan Square and along the Milwaukee Corridor through a grant from the State of Illinois.
On March 13, at 7:00pm, the committee is hosting a public workshop at the newly completed Hairpin Lofts (2800 North Milwaukee Avenue) to discuss how the grant program works and how you can take part in making green improvements to your property.
Participants will get free consultations from design professionals on the kinds of projects that make sense for their home or business, including green roofs, rain garden, permeable pavers and more!
For more information please check out the Milwaukee Avenue Green Development Corridor Committee event website!

Here is Maya Romanoff in the foreground in front of his portrait that is implemented into the design of the space. When asked what he thought of the space he responded to Tom, “I look at it and see me…” We couldn’t have received a better compliment!

Read MoreYou might remember back in September, when we partnered with Carnegie Fabrics on a dress for IIDA’s annual Stitch Charity Event. The dress was made entirely from window sheers from Creation Baumann [who is represented exclusively in the US by Carnegie] and actually turned out to be a technically complicated dress. While we did not win any of the categories, we were incredibly pleased with the result, as were Carnegie and Creation Baumann. In fact, they were so pleased that Creation Baumann now has the dress on display in their New York City showroom!
If you want to stop by and check it out, it’s in Suite 1522 in the D&D building [979 Third Avenue], and make sure to let them know m+ sent you!
