SUMMERWIND JEWELRY Mel Reisz of Summerwind Jewelry in Portsmouth New Hampshire owns a very narrow building (only 13 ft wide in some places) in the town’s historic downtown core. Keith Kovar exposed the 1860s ceiling beams to create more height and the illusion of space, with a curved bulkhead over the sit-down cases to conceal the air conditioning. Materials like cherry wood and tile in combination with existing materials illustrate Reisz’s years in the business and his commitment to contemporary design.  To facilitate quiet, he balanced acoustic tile with brick and other hard surfaces. :: Featured in Professional Jeweler		“I don’t see nostalgia for the Sixties and Seventies as a retail trend. We’ve been there, done that. I introduce certain retro elements only because they produce the desired design impact,” says GRID/3 International’s Keith Kovar.
