3 Interior designer Stan Topol spent the early summers of his career in a way that most could only dream; he assisted the late Billy Baldwin, who has been called the "dean of American interior decorators," in New York City. Billy's taste and sense of elegance had a profound influence on Stan's own design voice, especially when he established his namesake firm in the mid-1970s. And, ever since, Stan Topol & Associates has been dedicated to the art form of decorating as a way to make life more beautiful while upholding the integrity of good, functional design. For the award-winning firm, every project begins at the drafting board, where studies and sketches of interior spaces illustrate elements including proportion, space, and furnishings. The clients' needs and personal style are at the forefront, always with a careful eye towards the appropriateness of the décor for the specific room and its architecture. Stan and his team take great pride in listening to each client and educating them on everything from furniture to fabrics, finishes, cabinetry, and art. "We draw from our client's dreams and their private requirements as we create a concept of how we can make those thoughts a reality," says Stan. In addition to the detailed considerations taken into account for each space including traffic flow, convenience, and interior views, Stan Topol & Associates also has the capacity to produce complete interior construction documents for floor plans, demolition plans, electrical, elevations, and timelines. It all serves to support the firm's distinctive aesthetic and signature work that is never short on the true sense of style—a style built on the foundation of fine arts and not just drafting. i n t e r i o r d e s i g n STAN TOPOL & ASSICIATES ATLANTA, GA
