At MDC, we’re proud to have played a key role in a recent transformation at MicroLumen, a leading innovator in lighting solutions based in Florida. Elevation Architecture’s Project Manager, Jessica Kisthart, envisioned a remarkable reimagining of a high-traffic corridor linking manufacturing and private offices. Her concept, centered around the color green and the evocative idea of “Back to Nature,” aimed to create a unique, restorative experience while tackling significant acoustic challenges. Its function as a central connector, lined with glass-fronted offices, made effective noise reduction paramount for employee well-being and productivity. The solution began to take shape through our Zintra catalog. Jessica was particularly drawn to the dynamic interplay of our Wave and Batten patterns, noting, “Achieving quiet was the ultimate goal, and the Wave and Batten patterns perfectly embodied my concept with their fractal and warm textures, offering a visual representation of nature’s complexity and comfort.” These designs also offered promising acoustic properties crucial for the corridor’s functionality. The knowledgeable support of MDC Account Executive Rebecca Coles, serving the Florida region, was crucial in this initial discovery and selection, guiding Jessica toward effective solutions. The ultimate selection of Zintra 3D Wall Panels and Baffles was driven by their innovative […]

At MDC, we pride ourselves on our collaborative partnerships. The recent renovation of the Lebanon Opera House, a 1920s landmark, exemplifies this. We collaborated with designers Lauren McGuire and Genella McDonald from Stibler Associates on this transformative project. The designers’ vision was to “breathe new life into the space while staying true to its 1920s roots, using Art Deco influences—geometric patterns, rich jewel tones and gold accents—to honor the theater’s history while making it feel fresh and inviting.” MDC was a key partner in bringing the design firm’s vision to life. Their dedicated MDC Account Executive, Jeff Bergeron, collaborated closely with Lauren and Genella to understand and achieve their design goals. Behind the scenes, MDC Project Coordinator Chloe Rodriguez ensured a smooth execution, managing all the technical aspects of design and production, including the selection of specific Zintra material colors and thicknesses. MDC also provided additional training to optimize art file output, giving the designers the hands-on support they needed to translate their concepts into reality. Lauren and Genella focused on balancing “historical charm with durability and functionality,” selecting materials for both aesthetic appeal and their ability to withstand high traffic in a performance venue. As the designers both noted, […]
