Renovations!

founddesignottawa — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 23:14:07 +0000

Almost done. We should have windows by the weekend or early next week. Thank you to everyone for your kind words during our recent troubles. By mid February, our shop should look dandy once again!

On a side note… did you know (according to the City of Ottawa) that it could take 2 to 3 years to get a concrete pole barrier placed out front of our shop!! Amazing considering 4 cars have gone through this window in the last 10 years.

Toyota Drives Into Front Window!!!

founddesignottawa — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 20:24:03 +0000

Yesterday at 11:45 am a Toyota came crashing into our shops window. The storefront suffered extensive damage to the windows, facade, floors, heating system and most of the furniture that was in the window is now a right off. However, since Modernism never rests, we won’t either and will remain open during reconstruction. Come visit us and say hi if you’re in the neighbourhood!
