The Liquid Design Group, founded by artists Jeff Linnell and Colin Ochel, has a round-the-clock work day since its clients such as Sony, Pepsi and Visa only give a few days of project turnaround time. Hence, the company turned to interior decorators John Hartmann, Ana Henton and Troy Ostrander who make up the bicoastal design collaborative FREECELL to renovate their office to make it multi-functional. To solve this pace problem, FREECELL designers have made freestanding rooms that can function as private offices or bedrooms for the employees of Liquid Design.
