**★★★★★ — Domicile San Francisco, May 2013**

> I have now worked with Parallel Design on three projects with several more in progress. We work with many industry professionals at Domicile with mixed results. Working with Ann and Deborah has been a joy. Their concepts of spatial relationships are practical and logical and their design eyes are simply sensational. They have regularly come up with sophisticated and unexpected suggestions that really raise their projects well above normal. They also happen to be personally charming in even the most difficult situations, a rare talent indeed. You certainly would be served quite well by selecting Parallel Design for any sized project.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Height of fixture** *(in Photo Questions)*

Do you recall how high above the table you hung the fixture?

A: It is installed 35" above the table at 64" above the floor (both measurements are to the bottom of the fixture).  I hope that helps!

**Q: What is the ceiling height of this room?** *(in Photo Questions)*

How tall is this ceiling? I am considering this chandelier but worried because the ceilings are only 8'

A: The ceiling is only 8'-0".  The chandelier is still a little low over the table and I always have to warn people to watch out as they stand up.  Regardless, I still love the fixture....in retrospect I may have hung it a bit higher!
