Brief:
Nominated
for the Utah chapter of the American Institute of

excellence in design the Westgate Lofts project
Phase II in Salt Lake City's downtown Gateway Center
district is getting lots of attention.

styles coordinated with the basic cabinet frame
system. Working together with the architects, construction
project manager, and project owners, Philip managed
all phases of the final design, ordering and installation
process.

custom solutions using standard IKEA components,
including the 24" Microwave
Oven base cabinet solution and custom IKEA Numerar
Birch wood countertop solutions.
Inside Job provided complete kitchen planning
and installation services in coordination with
the project's architect and general contractor
to create a buyer-customizable kitchen finish while
meeting the construction deadlines and necessary
certificate of occupancy requirements.
Completed in October 2008.

delivery, inventory, assembly and installation.
