# Multifunctional Interior Redesigns Matt Nardella from 'Moss' Converts a Bodega for Personal Use By Kalin Ned | Published 2018-04-05 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interior-redesign References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2018/03/31/logan-certified-moss-design-matt-nardella-adaptive-reuse-chicago-art-gallery-apartment-studio/) & [moss-design](http://moss-design.com/projects/) Architect Matt Nardella takes on an interior redesign project of an abandoned bodega in Chicago. The newly transformed shop is now a complex under the name of Logan Certified. The 6,000 square foot space includes a studio and showroom for Nardella and his wife's architecture firm, 'Moss'. In addition, Logan Certified houses an art gallery, a residence for the couple, as well as another small apartment. In the process of the interior redesign, Matt Nardella and Laura Cripe preserve the industrial element of the [exposed brick walls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glassbrick-apartment). It later offers a nice contrast with the designer-friendly and geometrically smooth furniture. To foster an uplifting work environment, the duo creates a patio space between the new offices and the showroom. The outdoor nook serves as a relaxation spot and a platform to display Moss' custom woodwork.
